Forget the rush and the thrill of racing through tight bends. Forget the concept of understeer (whatever that means). Forget the blurred sensation of a life lived at breakneck speed. This is an exploration of the art of taking life slowly. It's about savoring the journey and the destination for their own sake. It's about pausing and brewing a kettle. It's about stopping to take a picture. It's about enjoying the act of stopping itself.

Now, how are you going to accomplish this? Naturally, in a camper van or motorhome. In this book, we unveil the finest driving routes across France, tailored specifically for camper vans and motorhomes. We guide you to the most captivating places to stay, the must-see attractions, the exciting activities, and explain why they are truly special. We meander through France's breathtaking roads, ascending mountain passes and leisurely cruising along the coast. We showcase fun experiences, often free of charge. We cater to various types of drivers, including walkers, wine enthusiasts, climbers, and skiers. We include the steepest, the most winding, the most picturesque, and the most intriguing drives. And even if you don't own a camper van or motorhome, we'll reveal the numerous rental options available to take you on this remarkable journey.

Throughout this book, you'll be accompanied by stunning photographs, handy maps, and quirky travel writing from the esteemed king of camper vans and motorhomes, Martin Dorey. So, if you're looking for a leisurely way to plan your next outing on a chilly day, this book will transport you (albeit slowly) to vineyards, beaches, mountains, and highways that ignite a burning desire to turn the key and hit the road, ready for an adventure.
