Hi All,
I realise similar posts may have been posted before but I have a few general questions that I would appreciate some advice on.
We are travelling to a site in Serignan Plage near to Beziers this summer, I will be towing a caravan and my sister in a folding camper. We are planning on stopping overnight half way down. We will have two children and three dogs in tow so would like to book sites beforehand.
I would like some general advice on the best route down, shall we avoid Paris? Which route is better the A20 or A75? We are travelling in August so are the routes prone to a lot of traffic?
And do you have any good suggestions for overnight stop overs? We really just need somewhere to sleep, but it may be nicer for my nephews if there is a little play park or something for them to unwind in after a long days travelling. I personally would like to try and get as near to the destination as possible (safely) on the first day. We are staying in folkstone and crossing at 5.50am on the eurotunnel.
Any general advice about towing in France will be gratefully received we haven't taken the van out yet but have booked this trip away, and will hopefully have a few runs in the uk before we go. Are the rules about equipment you need in France for caravans? I have driven in France so have all of the bits for the car but I did wonder if there are any caravan specific rules.
Thank you,
Laura
