Best / cheapest way to get to France in the van end of May and closet campsite to city centre

What do you good folks do with your lights when driving on the continent? The law is you mustn't blind people. I know that normal t6 lights aren't exactly bright. Do people still use the stick on adjusters or just adjust the beam down with the little adjuster wheel thingy?

So, I am changing jobs in September and have a late summer holiday booked for the South of France for the last 2 weeks in August. Fortunately, I have been granted 2 bonus weeks at the start of August by SWMBO to do something I've always hankered after.... A trip to Normandy to see the landing...

I'm going through the painful and long-winded process of trying to register my T6 conversion as a campingcar in France. I need all sorts of certificates, most of which my transformer has been able to supply, but he doesn't have one for the rock'n'roll bed. It's a Caledonian Blade 2 which...

Hello - I'm new here, and hoping that someone can help me with some details I need for importing my T6 campervan conversion to France. It's a bit of a nightmare involving all sorts of certificates and inspections. I'm currently filling in a spreadsheet to calculate the load on each axle, and...

Hi, We're planning a little break later this year - late July/early August time. We'll be travelling with our two dogs (a lab and golden retriever) and were looking at doing the Eurotunnel then some campsites in France, Germany and Italy. Would like to do Switzerland but seems like we'd need...

Planning an overland trip to Barcelona for a music festival in June and need to find stopovers near the Eurotunnel in England and half way down France near Clermont-Ferrand. No need for hook-up. Any recommendations would be great thanks, Ian.

Evening folks, Has anyone travelled from France back to the UK via the tunnel recently? Did the British or French passport control ask for your covid test certificate?

Hi all, Currently over in France and need to get hold of two new tyres - Nokian Weatherproofs 235/55/18 - keen to stick with same tyres. Think I can order either for delivery via Oponeo Panier » Livraison Gratuite » Pneus Vendeur » Oponeo.fr or Panier - CentralePneus.fr Oponeo I know but not...

We have now shifted our 2020 summer holiday France crossing again from July 2021 to the beginning of next year but I’ve heard that there may be an issue taking ‘personal goods’ to France after brexit with a limit on the total value. When (or at this rate, if) we ever get to go back we will have...

The more I ask...the more confused I get.... I have a 15 litre undercarriage lpg tank. If I stay at an aire in France over winter, I won't have enough gas to heat the van. I want to avoid having to go down to the valley mid week to top up the tank so... I have a French adapter to connect the...

After the very successful Forumfest September. It was suggested that some would like to try France. I have a site in mind which is about 30mins out of the Eurotunnel. I have personally been to this site and so has @Tourershine. I will email the site over the next few weeks to see if they are...

So been watching a few youtubers travelling through France and most sites they stop at don't have seats on the campsites toilets? Do understand this is some weird French hygiene rule but for anyone who's used these toilets how do you go for a nunber two? Is it a case of just hovering, do you...

Hi Guys, I’ve got a 68 plate T6 combi which I took in for first service at VW 3 weeks ago as I wanted piece of mind for driving to SW France for a holiday. Prior to service I had the oil light on on the display although level was fine, this turned out to be because of rodent damage to cables...

Just wondering if anyone have been over recently or planning in the near future. Due to go over next week camping but in two minds on what to do, it’ll be interesting to hear people’s thoughts.

Hi All, Planning to travel back from France at the beginning of September and wanted a stay over near Calais. Can anyone recommend a Aire near Le Torquet? Thanks CZ

Hi All, Looking at a possible camping trip to France in August. Never camped before and was wondering about the best regions to stay and looking for ideas. Happy to be around lakes or the sea - but really want something that allows us to get out in the day to see different things without...

So i've just spent, or actually my wife has just spent the last 4hrs on the Eurotunnel website trying to book our crossings for August. It's well reported across the internet that Eurotunnel.com is under a huge amount of pressure due to the whole country trying to make bookings after the latest...
