France has oodles of charming campsites to choose from. Why not pitch up in sun-dappled Nice? Welcome


Our guide to the French regions will help you choose your next camping holiday… Metropolitan France comprises 13 regions,


officially formed in the administrative reshuffle of 2016 – all of which means that your favourite corner of the Hexagon might now go under a different name. Fear not! Our pick of regional favourites will present the geographical, historical, culinary and holiday-centric highlights of places as diverse as Brittany, Champagne, Provence and the Loire Valley. Each is a perfect location for a truly memorable camping break – and our handy directory of tourism boards will help you to plan exciting diversions and fun


excursions during your trip. Bonnes vacances à tous!
