It is not so surprising that France is a well-visited country in Europe . With cities such as Paris, Nice and Marseille, but also with beautiful nature such as in the Pyrenees and the Alps, this is a versatile country. And if that’s not enough, you also have the Côte d’Azur. Where you can relax on the beach. We also love this beautiful country, and our first road trip with the caravan went through France. Something we can recommend to everyone!

And with all these delicious dishes you can of course also drink one of the delicious wines that this country has. In addition, each region has its own specialty and regional product. Saint-Tropez, for example, has its own Tropezienne Pie. A delicious cake that owes its name to Brigitte Bardot. And so there are many other regional products in France. Can you discover them all? Eating in France is possible from 15 euros per day, but can go up to 120 euros per day. This depends very much on what your budget is.

In France you have a wide range of different accommodations. So you have a typical French gî t e . But also a bungalow park or a glamping. You can rent all these accommodations for an average price of 100 euros per night. In addition, you can of course also book a hotel room, b&b or Airbnb.
