The eight best cycle routes in France!
I just stumbled across a blog offering “the eight best cycle routes in France”. Truthfully, there are so many epic cycle routes in France, it would be a tricky task to pick just eight. Anyone who has a tried and tested French cycle route and takes the time to share their top picks with the […]
Considering buying instead of hiring for a long term European trip?
France Motorhome Hire are, of course, a rental company (the clue is in the name) but did you know we also sell motorhomes and campervans to non-European residents via our website www.eurocampingcars.com?

I know our Australian, Canadian and American clients laugh when we describe France as a big country […]
Is a motorhome trip in France a luxury or a budget break?
It genuinely can be all things to all people Try studying the wide range of reactions on people’s faces when you tell them you have just booked a holiday in France in a motorhome and you will understand why it is very difficult to classify where a motorhome trip sits in the holiday pecking order.

Should you look at reviews to help you decide where to hire a motorhome in France?
Yes, you absolutely should! Not all motorhome rental companies are well run and the consequences of picking up a motorhome that has been badly prepared for hire are pretty serious.
