    just back from this years trip to France and while we did enjoy the trip is was very busy in august,it took over to hour to get out of the car park and down the causeway of the Mont San Michele and we got stuck in the mother of all traffic jams trying to get over the bridge in bordeaux,an other day we just could not get on to an aries in the area we wanted to say

    in spite of the above we had a lovely time met some nice people and stayed in some lovely places some free with took up and wifi

    as i have one of those job that you have to book time off well in advance what do you guys think is the best time to go to france we like it lively and with a good chance of some fine weather

    We have gone for the last four years. End of July into beginning of August. Getting as far down as Bordeaux and back.

    We did the first few weeks in July this year(our only year so far!!)
    Had no problems like you mention...and had cracking weather.
    It was getting noticeably busier from mid July onwards...i always was under the impression that France was to be avoided in August as all the French take the month off!!

    We have done france many times in our camper but generally always early in July. when we have gone in august we have stayed away from the coastal regions and that is generally quieter. Over the last number of years we have started going through UK and into eastern france/germany via Calais. If you want to get away from irish/british holidaymakers (nothing wrong with either by the way) I would suggest Germany or eastern france for a different type of camper holiday..

    Hi.killalanerr,
    In Frejus at the moment, weather lovely(mid 20's), no crowds, traffic gone (no jams) prices down, (€11-15 with ACSI Card).
    Foe us, after years of high season with children, Sept/ Oct id mow the best, particularly if heading for the Med.

    Wish you were here :D
