Research the different areas of France to decide which part of the country you would like to visit. You may decide that a mountain getaway in Chamonix is for you, or alternatively you may prefer to visit a campsite close to the picturesque beaches of Nice or explore the vineyards of Beaune, which is also the best place in France to enjoy wine tasting, according to Lonely Planet. You also have the option of traveling between several places during your trip.
Make a reservation at the campsite of your choice by booking online. Making reservations in advance means that there is no chance of you being turned away if the campsite is full during the peak season. Arrange to rent a mobile home or caravan if you are not able to bring your own. If you currently live in one of France's neighboring countries and already own a mobile home, you may have the option of driving across the border into France with your mobile home. Take the time to plan your route carefully beforehand, as this will help you to avoid experiencing a stressful journey.
Book the flights if you have chosen not to book a package holiday, which already includes them. Lonely Planet recommends that you arrange to fly out in the months of March and April to avoid the crowds of tourists and raised prices for flights and accommodation that are present during the hot summer months from June to August.
Purchase suitable insurance that will cover you and your family in the case of any medical issues that may occur during your trip. If you plan on driving in to France, ensure that you have the proper vehicle insurance to drive abroad.
