Hi everyone,
We have taken the plunge to 'hire' a motorhome in order to travel to Blois in the Loire. This intention is to start here for a 10 day cycling trip along it's banks.
We have NEVER driven/used a motorhome, ever but really looking forward to it. We have already gained some useful info from you all i.e. avoiding Paris + we thank you !
We have invested in the 'Aires' book but all advice would be gratefully accepted.
One question is that we plan to stop and camp half way between Calais (Le Shuttle) + Blois so we have plenty of time to get used to the van on our first day, anyone able to help on best area + where we could stay.
A suggestion was to stay at a municipal site in Bernay + another in Blois, Chaumont-sur -Loire. Following that we will move along the river as and when (hopefully, we will meet + collect advice and info 'en route' !)
Do we have to book these places in advance or just 'turn up ?' :helpsos:
All practical advice accepted for our first motorhome adventure !!!!!!!!!!
Cheers all, good to meet you.
Time to dig out my school French, oui ? !
