Driving a Campervan around Paris

  • A86 ring road plus Autoroutes A1, A4 and A6 connect Paris with Normandy, the Loire, the Alps and the Mediterranean.
  • The area inside the A86 ring road is a Low Emission Zone. You need a Crit'Air sticker (an emissions certificate). From 1 January 2025, vehicles rated Crit'Air 3 or lower quality are banned on weekdays.
  • Campervans up to 3.5 tonnes and under 3 meters tall pay autoroute toll Class 2. You can pay by cash or card at the exit.
  • Traffic is heavy on the Boulevard Périphérique (the inner ring road) during 07:00 to 10:00 and 16:00 to 19:00.
  • Wild camping is illegal in France. Use campsites or Aires de Camping-Car (motorhome service points) which cost about six to fifteen euros per night and provide water and waste disposal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is wild camping in an RV allowed in France?

Free/Wild camping is allowed in France only on private land with express permission from the landowner. Local laws may apply in certain areas so check online or at an information center for regional guidelines.

France has over 10,000 campgrounds and these are quite affordable starting at around €10 ($11 USD) per night

Is a one-way campervan rental possible?

Yes, a large number of RV rental companies allow for one-way rentals as well as between countries in Europe.

A one-way road trip is often more convenient and can allow you to explore more of the country. For example, a popular one-way vacation route in France is Paris to Rome via Provence and the French Riviera (Côte d’Azur) – traveling through Southern France along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea through Saint-Tropez, Cannes, and Monaco.

One-way rentals may not be available between all routes, and additional fees apply, depending on the pickup and drop-off locations. Our comparison tool will automatically factor in any additional fees and show you which vehicles are available on your preferred route.

What type of license do you need to rent a campervan in France?

To rent a motorhome weighing up to 7,716 pounds in France, you need a valid standard Class B Driving License. Anyone from a country outside Europe with a non-Latin alphabet must bring an official French translation of their license.

If you plan to rent a Luxury Class motorhome that weighs over 7,716 pounds, you'll need to secure an additional Class C1 'heavy vehicles' license.

The minimum age to rent a campervan in France is 21 years old, although many companies necessitate that you be at least 23 to rent from them. Most campervan rentals also prefer drivers to have at least three years of driving experience before taking the reins of a motorhome.

Note: policies vary from supplier to supplier. Always check the T&Cs for your rental.
