There are a number of reasons why France should be seen as a top holiday destination by caravanners this year, one travel writer has claimed.
In an article for the Daily Telegraph, Fred Mawer pointed out that the cost of crossing the English Channel has come down considerably over the last ten years.
“In the summer months, you can get the car and family to France and back for under £100,” he stated.
Mr Mawer insisted that no European country comes close to France in terms of the range and quality of campsites and caravan sites on offer.
He also praised the food available in France, claiming that even with current exchange rates there are bargains to be found if holidaymakers eat out wisely.
For those who prefer to keep costs down by preparing meals in their caravan, local markets can provide plenty of tasty goodies at reasonable prices.
And if all that wasn’t enough, Mr Mawer said there are a variety of events and new openings taking place in France this year.
In Metz art lovers can visit the new Centre Pompidou modern art gallery, while families can head to an “intriguing” horticultural theme park in the Loire.
