Volkswagen camper road trip Provence & Côte d’Azur

Preparing a camper road trip

It is a good idea to prepare your camper road trip to a certain extent. Customers who went before you can help you with this. We have included their stories and experiences in the tips and rough route description.

Campsites for the camper trip

And how about campsite tips! About this, we also learnt from our customers! Not all people have the same preferences as to campsites. If you like a campsite depends on budget, facilities, child-friendliness etc. In brief, some research and making lists of campsites can certainly add to your holiday enjoyment. To maintain your freedom you can book your next campsite by telephone each time.

Navigating during the camper trip

In all of our Volkswagen campers there is a Michelin map of the region. A navigation system is a valuable addition, but certainly not ideal for navigating all the time. Scenic roads are indicated on the Michelin map with a green line. Choose a route with as many ‘green roads’ as possible and a beautiful road trip is ensured. You cannot get lost, for being underway is your destination! At the end of the day, use the navigation system for the final kilometres to the campsite.

If you rent the Volkswagen Van for a week, you can make a lovely road trip of about 600 km. Drive north and visit Avignon. Then follow the D900 through the Luberon eastward and visit beautiful villages north and south of this road, with unique sights such as Gordes, Fontaine de Vaucluse, Rousillon, Bonnieux and Lourmarin. Continue east via the Valansole for the necessary chilling at the Lake of Saint-Croix and the Gorges-du-Verdon. From the Gorges-du-Verdon you go through the Provence Vert to the coast for a visit of Saint-Tropez. Follow the coastline of the Côte d’Azur to the west via Le LaVandou, Bornes-les-Mimosas, Sanary-sur-Mer, Bandol and Cassis. From Cassis, drive to the attractive city of Aix-en-Provence, after which you’ll be almost at the end of your trip.
