Has anyone else heard of Franche-Comté? We have lived in France for nearly 16 years and had heard of Franche-Comté, but had no idea what an unspoiled area of outstanding natural beauty it is. Read on to discover how we spent five days in this beautifully untouched part of France. We were looking for somewhere […]
Many of our clients stay in Sens, our local city, before or during their campervan trip. The Cathedral de St Etienne is Sens’ most famous historic building but there is hidden treasure dotted all over the city and you can follow a walking tour to see it all. You can explore the cathedral by day, […]
Our staff just discovered that there is more to Fontainebleau than the world famous palace! Whilst visiting France, many of our clients like to take in one of the Parisian palaces of Versailles or Fontainebleau and most tack those visits on to a stay in Paris, rather than during their campervan trip. However, a mere […]
Chill out time with our campervan and early morning walks in Burgundy…we love it and encourage you to try it too! Although cycling is my favourite form of exercise, I must admit that I am a bit of fair-weather cyclist; in very hot, windy or wet weather, my default form of exercise is walking. With […]
Here are some of the beautiful places and views our clients have spotted through the windows of their motorhomes and campervans while driving in our part of Burgundy…the rolling hills of the Yonne department. We particularly like the unknown chateau (below) that Kyle and Michelle Evans from Canada spotted while driving through the Morvan National […]
Troyes is a city of history, beauty and outlet shopping and all just one hour from our depot! We just had a great weekend break in the city of Troyes and were amazed that we had not visited it before as it is loaded with historical and architectural treasures. Pretty cobbled streets, half-timbered buildings, a […]
In this, the first of a series of beautiful places that our motorhome and campervan clients have visited in the culturally rich region of Burgundy (where our depot is located!), we report on Doug and Tricia Conners’ visit to Fontenay Abbey in Marmagne, a 12th century masterpiece, with something to please every age. The Conners’ […]
The perfect answer to the, sometimes, tricky question of where to spend your first and last night on the road is just 20 minutes from our depot in Burgundy. If you’re looking for a lovely place to spend the first or last night of your hire, the sleepy village of St Julien du Sault in […]
Why our own “doorstep” is one of the best in France! The Newmans from Bedfordshire, UK just got back from a three week campervan trip and wanted us to let everyone know that our very own region of Burgundy must not be overlooked if you are planning a French trip! They spent most of their […]
For the first or last night of a campervan trip with France Motorhome Hire, most of our clients like stay really near our base here in Northern Burgundy. They are spoilt for choice as we are surrounded by great campsites and “Aires des Services” (free places to stay). The town of Joigny on the River Yonne makes […]
