CAMPING REGIONS OF FRANCE
BRITTANY
A family-friendly seaside holiday only a stone's throw from the UK means Brittany holidays are hard to beat. A dramatic coastline featuring sandy coves and harbours are an explorer's dream.
VENDEE
When looking for a mix of sun and nostalgia, a camping holiday in Vendee delivers in droves. An enviable position on a long beach stretch of the western coast, expect seaside bliss with charming towns and villages.
PARIS
The French capital represents a timeless holiday destination for young and old alike. An unforgettable campsite base for the kids to explore Disneyland Paris and a treasure trove of cultural delights for parents.
NORMANDY

LANGUEDOC
The best of rural France can be found in Languedoc. Renowned for its high-quality wines as much as the abundance of historical Roman landmarks, there's plenty for the whole family to enjoy either on the beach or inland.
