Why hire a campervan or motorhome in France
France — a country worth exploring
France's Route Nationale 7 once carried holidaymakers over 1,000 km from Paris to the Mediterranean, and today the country remains one of Europe's most rewarding destinations for a road trip. From the chalk cliffs of Étretat on the Normandy coast to the lavender plateaux of Valensole in Provence, France offers an extraordinary range of landscapes within easy driving distance of one another. Paris to Strasbourg is roughly 490 km through rolling countryside, while the Atlantic coast from Nantes to Biarritz stretches about 450 km past sandy beaches, pine forests and tidal estuaries. Mountain passes in the Alps and Pyrenees add drama for confident drivers, and the well-maintained autoroute network makes longer journeys comfortable in a motorhome. Smaller départementale roads wind through vineyard villages in Alsace, sunflower fields in the Dordogne and hilltop towns across Occitanie — ideal territory for a campervan at a leisurely pace. France also has one of Europe's densest campsite networks, with thousands of sites offering full hook-ups and services for every vehicle size. Through Yescapa's peer-to-peer platform you can hire a campervan or motorhome directly from local owners right across France, choosing from a wide variety of vehicles to match your route, your group and your budget.
Best time to visit
France is wonderful to explore from spring right through to autumn. May and June bring warm days and quieter roads, perfect for a campervan tour of Provence before the famous Festival d'Avignon fills the city each July. September and October are ideal for wine-harvest season in Bordeaux and Alsace, when campsites remain open and temperatures are comfortable for touring. Summer is the most popular period, so booking your motorhome hire on Yescapa early gives you the best choice of vehicles and competitive peer-to-peer pricing from local owners across France.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in France
France has an extensive autoroute network, and most motorways are toll roads operated by private companies. You pay at péage barriers by card or cash, and a télépéage tag lets you pass through dedicated lanes without stopping. Motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes are classed differently and pay higher tolls. Speed limits for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are 110 km/h on autoroutes and 80 km/h on single-carriageway roads. Rest areas with motorhome service points appear regularly along major routes. Height barriers at some car parks and petrol stations can restrict larger vehicles, so plan fuel stops in advance.
Frequently asked questions
Travelling in the shoulder seasons of May–June or September–October often brings lower prices and wider availability across France. On Yescapa you can compare listings from local owners, filter by budget and vehicle type, and message owners directly to discuss your plans. Booking well ahead for summer also helps you lock in a good rate on the campervan or motorhome that suits your trip.
For a couple or solo traveller exploring France's narrower village roads, a compact campervan with two berths is ideal. Families of four or five are well served by a motorhome with a fixed rear bed and overcab sleeping area. Larger groups of up to six can look for spacious motorhomes with multiple sleeping configurations on Yescapa. Consider your planned routes — smaller vehicles are easier on Alsace's wine roads, while bigger models suit autoroute touring.
Yescapa's peer-to-peer platform connects you with local vehicle owners right across France. You will find motorhomes and campervans available for collection in major cities such as Paris, Lyon and Marseille, as well as in smaller towns closer to popular touring regions like Brittany, Provence and the Dordogne. Simply enter your preferred location and travel dates to see what is available near you.
Prices on Yescapa vary depending on vehicle type, season and location. As a guide, a compact campervan in France typically starts from around €60–€80 per day, while a larger motorhome may range from €90–€130 per day. Because you hire directly from private owners through Yescapa's peer-to-peer model, rates are often more competitive than traditional hire companies.
Yes, many owners on Yescapa welcome pets in their vehicles. You can filter listings specifically for dog-friendly campervans and motorhomes when searching in France. It is worth messaging the owner beforehand to confirm any requirements. Most French campsites accept dogs on a lead, and the country's beaches, forests and countryside make it a brilliant destination for travelling with your four-legged companion.
