France is also a country that is much appreciated by foreign campers and every year an increasing number of foreign holidaymakers choose to spend their camping holiday in France.

Is it necessary to book a pitch in advance? Certain campsite establishments do stipulate advance booking, particularly during high season (July-August) but this is not always the case. On the other hand, booking is required for mobile home, chalet or canvas bungalow rental.

Renting a mobile home means that you can spend your holiday in comfortable and completely equipped accommodation while benefiting from the campsite's facilities and activities. It's the ideal solution for getting the best out of your camping holiday, particularly when you have young children.

If you have children, opt for a campsite offering a childrens' mini-club, with activities and facilities aimed at providing the whole family with an enjoyable and unforgettable holiday and allowing you to benefit from a well-deserved rest.
