Full of ideas about what to see, where to park, what to bring - and even where to rent a camper van. Defining the best driving routes around each location, the king of camper vans and motorhomes, Martin Dorey, shows you the coolest places to stay, what to see, what to do and why it’s special. Martin takes it easy around France, exploring mountains, coast and everything in between, and the book includes plenty of useful information for route planning, such as maps and information on where to stay, places of interest and things to do, etc. These are the spectacular hilltop citadels of the doomed Cathars which, hugging the crags of the Pyrenees, look like flights of fancy from films such as Lord of the Rings. And it’s a visual feast too with Martin’s photos throughout, tempting you to pack your bags and take to the road.

The water looks incredibly inviting and I can see trout swimming lazily against the current… From the rapid above us I see a kayak head downstream towards us. We include the steepest, the bendiest, those with the most interesting bridges or views or obstacles, ferries and tidal causeways. We include the best drives for different kinds of drivers; for surfers, wildlife watchers, climbers and walkers. All of this is interspersed with beautiful photos, handy maps and quirky travel writing from the king of camper vans and motorhomes, Martin Dorey.Maybe this guide contains less 'B' road and single track detours, yet still manages to come across plenty of interesting out of the way discoveries. You’ll be transported (albeit slowly) to, beaches, mountains and highways that make you want to turn the key and go, go, go! If you're planning a trip to France in your campervan, you'll no doubt find it really useful reading and reference material. It’s like having a friend tell you the best roads to take, where to stop off, anecdotes of what happened there or en route and fun facts.

Though all the facts you need are given, the road numbers, what the drive is like, there’s loads more info about whether a town isn’t suitable for a motor home, how good the camping sites or aires (free or low cost camping areas) are, what you can see en route, where to take a detour, and what you must stop and see or you’ll kick yourself if you missed it.The joy of this volume however comes in the latter portion; 26 regionally grouped drives of varied length and geographical character, covering the coasts, rivers and mountains of this varied landscape. And you don't even have to own a camper van or motorhome – we'll tell you the many places you can rent one to take you on the journey.

The occupants, suddenly aware of her nakedness, find something interesting to look at on the other bank, as if to save her modesty as they up the pace slightly.
