Ok I'm not sure if this is in the right place.
makeitmyself and I are thinking of going to france later on in the year for about a week / ten days to camp and generally have a wander around. We would like to have a good variety of things to do and see but would like to be off the beaten track a little. Our ideal place would have mountains,lakes,wood land and a bit of civilisation thrown in.
Could any of you recommend places to stay or see. We quite like the look of the Rhone valley as it has a few hills, some pretty lakes and things to do.
I am looking for advice on campsites that are any good as we will probably be taking the car and driving down. It would be nice to stop off on the way down somewhere and treat it as a relaxing trip rather than a mad dash down to one place then veg out.
Our kit will probably combine the tipi and hammocks and we would like to use them both if possible on the trip. We have a choice of vehicles to take, Lin's mini (cheap, economical and very easy to drive for long periods) or my vitara (slower, expensive to run in comparison and not as comfy for long drives) . If there are any good but not too challenging green lanes along the way then that might be worth the extra cost in fuel.
The possibility of an open fire to cook on at least on a few days would be nice, so sites that allow that. We are not looking for a bushcrafting holiday as such but a nice camping trip with a little bushcrafting thrown in.
Am I asking too much from ten days in france ? Or is it an undiscovered wonderland ?( for me anyway )
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
Cheers Greg
