planned trip in September

me and the wife (both late 40's) have got a 6 birth 3 bedroomed static caravan on a complex in Frejus (south of france) booked for a week 6th September 2008

planned route is Frejus via Millau then back via the Alps (maybe via Stelvio pass) any couples interested in joining us for a nice steady scenic picture taking trip lasting 2-3 weeks (depending on the final routes) staying in cheap hotels to and from Frejus?

drop us a line if interested as after doing France alone the last 3 times we'd be happy to have a bit of English company for a change

caravaner

read again, the static home (not a caravan) is our base whilst on the south coast for 7 days of exploring the area (gorge du verdon etc) better than a tent and cheaper than hotels Thumbs Up

Hi we can't come along cos we've got the kids but we are goung to france this year for the first time and wondered if you could help us out in finding the quickest cheapest route and a good place to stay (we would be in tents)

what part of France are you going to?
how many miles a day do you intend to do?
how long are you going for?

we tend to take out time and take the scenic (toll free) routes and often stay in cheap hotels along the way (b&b hotel chain or formula1 hotels) £25 per room per night and sleeps upto 3 people.
never done camping in France but we have seen plenty of sites as we travel so that should n't be a problem for you.

2 years ago we based ourselves in bourg st maurice in the rhone Alps (b&b 40 euros per night) and there is a large campsite there and the surrounding scenery and roads are stunning
only 600 miles from Calais
