This week we are in the home of high-end gastronomy, luxury fashion and all things classy and elegant. The one and only France. If you’re looking for a country that can offer you stunning mountains, beautiful beaches, and so much more, then France should definitely be on your motorhome travel list. Let’s have a look at our top three choices.
Imagine pristine chateaus, impeccable wine, delicious cheese and sunsets over endless vineyards. Bordeaux has to be on the top of your list of places to visit in your STX motorhome. Located in the west of France, the town itself is also worth visiting between your wine tours. Known for its Gothic Cathédrale Saint-André, 18th- to 19th-century mansions and various art museums such as the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux. The grand Place de la Bourse is centred on the Three Graces fountain, overlooking the Miroir d’Eau reflecting pool.
Park your STX motorhome at Chez Gendron in the heart of the French wine country and not too far from the west coast beaches. Located in the middle of the woods, you can wake up to the sound of birds chirping and the trees rustling in the breeze. It is only 1h drive from the centre of Bordeaux and minutes away from some incredible chateaus to start your wine and cheese tasting extravaganzas.

Once you are full of delicious French cheese and wine, why not head down south for some sun and beach time. And there is no better location in the South of France to do exactly this, than in Saint Tropez. Known for its lavish visitors in the summer season, superyachts, late night music and the epitome of French luxury. But also for its stunning turquoise blue water and white sandy beaches. Only an hour drive from Cannes, why not plan your trip to coincide with the world-famous Cannes Film Festival?! May is a beautiful time of year in the South before it gets too hot and the majority of tourists start arriving.
Park your STX motorhome at De la Plage in Port Grimaud, across the bay from Saint Tropez. This beautiful parking location is directly on the beach. What better way to way fall asleep at night than to the sound of the ocean and the delightful smell of the sea breeze blowing in through the window of your motorhome.

Located in East of France in the middle of the Vanoise National Park lies our next suggestion. If you’re looking to escape into nature to detox and breathe in the fresh mountain air then this final location is for you. This region is known for its incredible natural beauty, snowy mountains and vast lakes. The ultimate retreat to go skiing, hiking and switch off for a few days.
And we have found the perfect location to do just this! Park your STX motorhome at the Parking Mont Cenis. This parking location is situated literally on the banks of the Mont Cenis Lake. With wide spaces between each parking, you can relish your privacy.
