Evening everyone. We are sorting our summer road trip and we have the following planned: 1 x night Calais (Chateau Gandspette) - booked 1 x night Dijon (not booked) 5 x nights campsite Lake Annecy - booked 3 x nights chalet Bourg St Maurice - booked 3 x nights campsite Lake Orta (Italy) -...

So first of many questions France related. We are planning a trip over to France in the first two weeks of September. Which areas have a better chance of decent weather? Only got two weeks so not sure how far south we can get before having to head back. Hoping to catch the last rays of summer...

We are staying one night (possibly two) at Chateau Gandspette at the end of July. Can anyone recommend the restaurant on site and if so is it child friendly. Thanks. Nick

Hi folks - got a couple of weeks in France booked in for August, have booked a pitch with EHU. We have a standard 25m EHU cable for UK campsites. I have 2 questions. 1) Do I need an adaptor for French campsites? And if so, recommendations would be appreciated. 2) The EHU on the campsite is...

Has anyone managed to get a pet passport issued in France? Seems (according to google) some vets will issue a passport despite the 3 month requirement and French address? Thanks.

We are planning an easy trip abroad this summer. Can anyone recommend a campsite with a pool that is within a couple of hours drive from Calais. We are a family of four with teenager and a seven year old. Thank you in advance.

We are looking for a campsite near Angers for a couple of days next month, before we head up to Le Mans for the race. Anyone got any recommendations please ? It does need to be pretty close to Angers, rather than further along the Loire. Thanks, Pete

For the last 10 years we have done a full on, five week trip to France with our caravan over the school holidays with our 3 kids, only missing out in 2021 due to C19. We love it but a recent major op on my neck has left me with limited use of my left arm due to something called C5 Palsy meaning...

I drove 800 miles right down through France no probs, used van next day with no issues, following day clutch pedal flat to floor. Local mechanic says slave cylinder and prob cost about €2000 as clutch and flywheel needs to be replaced at same time, thoght this about right as similar price in uk...

Fully admit, this is me being a bit lazy, but the search did not show much. We are heading down west coast of France this summer. Me, wife and 12 yo daughter. Going light. Surf sup, board, body boards, wet suits, snorkel stuff. No cooking facilities, or paraphernalia. Eat on the hoof. You get...

Best / cheapest way to get to France in the van end of May and closet campsite to city centre

What do you good folks do with your lights when driving on the continent? The law is you mustn't blind people. I know that normal t6 lights aren't exactly bright. Do people still use the stick on adjusters or just adjust the beam down with the little adjuster wheel thingy?

So, I am changing jobs in September and have a late summer holiday booked for the South of France for the last 2 weeks in August. Fortunately, I have been granted 2 bonus weeks at the start of August by SWMBO to do something I've always hankered after.... A trip to Normandy to see the landing...

I'm going through the painful and long-winded process of trying to register my T6 conversion as a campingcar in France. I need all sorts of certificates, most of which my transformer has been able to supply, but he doesn't have one for the rock'n'roll bed. It's a Caledonian Blade 2 which...

Hello - I'm new here, and hoping that someone can help me with some details I need for importing my T6 campervan conversion to France. It's a bit of a nightmare involving all sorts of certificates and inspections. I'm currently filling in a spreadsheet to calculate the load on each axle, and...

Hi, We're planning a little break later this year - late July/early August time. We'll be travelling with our two dogs (a lab and golden retriever) and were looking at doing the Eurotunnel then some campsites in France, Germany and Italy. Would like to do Switzerland but seems like we'd need...

Planning an overland trip to Barcelona for a music festival in June and need to find stopovers near the Eurotunnel in England and half way down France near Clermont-Ferrand. No need for hook-up. Any recommendations would be great thanks, Ian.

Evening folks, Has anyone travelled from France back to the UK via the tunnel recently? Did the British or French passport control ask for your covid test certificate?

Hi all, Currently over in France and need to get hold of two new tyres - Nokian Weatherproofs 235/55/18 - keen to stick with same tyres. Think I can order either for delivery via Oponeo Panier » Livraison Gratuite » Pneus Vendeur » Oponeo.fr or Panier - CentralePneus.fr Oponeo I know but not...

We have now shifted our 2020 summer holiday France crossing again from July 2021 to the beginning of next year but I’ve heard that there may be an issue taking ‘personal goods’ to France after brexit with a limit on the total value. When (or at this rate, if) we ever get to go back we will have...
