Why our depot is the perfect location to start your campervan trip

14 Nov

The FMH depot is located in beautiful Burgundy, just an hour south of central Paris by train. There are not many countries in the world where you can be this close to the capital city but still in an idyllic rural location so we would urge you to make the most of our magnificent location and our proximity to Paris.

If you hire a motorhome from France Motorhome Hire, you pick up less than an hour by train from Paris but the roads around us look like this

Don’t make a frantic dash from the airport to our depot and then leave Burgundy as soon as you get here. Enjoy a night or two in Paris before you collect your motorhome then linger in our charming part of France before you head off. There are plenty of campsites and free overnight halts all around us so motorhome travellers are made very welcome here. There is a great deal to see and do here too with tourist attractions, historic architecture, rolling hills, wine trails, rivers, lakes, castles and medieval villages to explore.

Don't rush off when you get here, there is plenty to see from your campervan along The River Yonne

Stay a while when you get here, there is plenty to see from your campervan along The River Yonne.

There’s a really convenient hypermarket less than 5kms away where you can get all your shopping needs for the trip and campsites along the river at the beautiful Saint Julien du Sault opening on the 31st March or, if you’d like to venture a little further a field on your first evening then head down to Merry-sur-Yonne where you can enjoy an evening meal as well.

When you arrive, you’re only a few hours away from the Loire Valley, or the Morvan Regional Nature Park – (the French Lake district).

Ask yourself whether you’d prefer to arrive from a long flight, pick up a large, unfamiliar vehicle and drive it through some of the most scary, urban roads in Europe or take a short train journey from Paris into the countryside and pick up from a Burgundy village location with dining, food shopping and overnight parking options all around you?

Our part of Burgundy offers some wonderful countryside views

Why pick up on the outskirts of Paris or at the airports where roads and traffic look like this!
