Advice for the
'first time' traveller
| You can reach most of our campsites in Normandy, Paris and the Loire within a day. |
| If you are heading for Brittany or the Vendée take an early morning Calais crossing. The new motorway connections mean you can reach our west coast resorts in a day. Many motorways in Brittany are toll free. |
| If you plan to visit SW France or the French Mediterranean you will need to stop en route unless you opt for Motorail. You can break your journey at a Canvas campsite or an hotel. |
| If you are planning to visit Italy allow 2 days for the trip. Plan an overnight stop at a campsite or an hotel. |
| Try to avoid travelling on the French public holidays in July and August - the motorway traffic is very heavy. |
| Please note that in France, Germany, Spain and Italy, the law requires you to carry a high visibility jacket or waistcoat in your car at all times. These must be worn if leaving a vehicle on the carriageway of a motorway or non-urban highway, anytime, day or night. |

travel safely to your holiday destination |
