Anywhere Campers Le HavreLe HavreView map
Hiring a motorhome in Le Havre means hitting the road at the mouth of the Seine, where the chalk cliffs of the Pays de Caux meet the English Channel. Étretat and its arches, the port of Fécamp, Honfleur across the Normandy Bridge and the orchards of the Pays d'Auge are all less than an hour's drive away. Our partner company, Anywhere Campers, offers everything from a campervan for two to motorhomes sleeping four to six, with manual or automatic gearboxes.
Before you set off, the city deserves a detour: rebuilt after 1945 by Auguste Perret and listed by UNESCO, it is also the port where Monet painted Impression, Sunrise.

A short loop that begins as soon as you leave the city: the villas of Sainte-Adresse and the Cap de la Hève lighthouse, then the cliff road to Étretat, its Manneporte arch and its needle. Yport and its sheltered beach come before Fécamp, its Bénédictine palace and fishing port. The way back passes Valmont Abbey and the Roman theatre of Lillebonne, on the edge of the estuary.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Le Havre?
Best time
June to August
June to August
highs 20 to 22 °C, lows 13 to 16 °C
The most pleasant time to leave from Le Havre: long days, moderate warmth and a sea that barely exceeds 20 °C at the height of summer. Rain still falls but in short spells. Étretat and Honfleur are very busy at weekends: arrive early in the morning to find a space.
April, May and September
April to May, September
highs 14 to 20 °C, lows 7 to 14 °C
Cooler months but often bright, with apple trees in blossom in the Pays d'Auge in spring and a sea still mild in September. April is the driest month of the year. Bring a windproof jacket: on the cliffs of the Pays de Caux, the sea breeze picks up quickly.
Winter
October to March
October to March
highs 8 to 16 °C, lows 4 to 11 °C
Midwinter stays mild for the latitude, rarely below freezing, but from October to January more than 110 mm of rain falls each month and sunshine is scarce. It is the season of Channel storms and spring tides: a heated vehicle and short stages make the trip enjoyable.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Getting to Le Havre without a car
Le Havre railway station has direct trains to Paris-Saint-Lazare and Rouen, making it the easiest way to come and collect the vehicle. The local airport, at Octeville-sur-Mer, has only a few routes; international flights land in Paris or Beauvais instead, about two and a half hours' drive away.
Two toll bridges over the estuary
The Normandy Bridge, towards Honfleur, and the Tancarville Bridge, further upstream, both charge a toll, with a rate that depends on the vehicle category. The Normandy Bridge, very high and exposed, may be restricted for high-sided vehicles in strong winds: check traffic conditions on stormy days.
Easy lower town, narrow upper town
The grid-plan centre rebuilt by Perret has wide avenues where a motorhome moves around easily. Up on the heights, however, the streets of Sainte-Adresse and the Côte districts are steep and winding. To drive up to the viewpoint over the port, a campervan fits far better than an over-cab motorhome.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Le Havre
Where can I pick up a motorhome in Le Havre?
The Anywhere Campers depot in Le Havre is our partner company's starting point in the city. The exact address and appointment time are given in your booking confirmation. If you prefer to start elsewhere, Rouen, Caen-Carpiquet and Dieppe also host partner companies, less than 90 km away as the crow flies.
How much does it cost to hire a motorhome in Le Havre?
The rate varies a lot between a campervan for two in winter and a family motorhome in July, and with the length of hire. The safest way is to run a search with your dates: the prices shown include mandatory fees and match offers you can book straight away.
Which vehicles can I hire in Le Havre?
Anywhere Campers offers the Van for 2, sleeping two, the Carado T-447 low-profile for four, the Adria Matrix M670SL and the Sunlight T 68 for five, and the Sunlight A70, an over-cab motorhome sleeping six. Most come with either a manual or an automatic gearbox.
Can I end the trip in another city?
Yes: Rouen, Caen-Carpiquet, Dieppe, Évreux, Cherbourg and Chartres are also departure cities of our partners. A one-way trip to Cherbourg, for example, lets you follow the whole Normandy coast. Enter the return city when searching: any one-way fees are then included in the displayed price.
Can I cross to England from Le Havre?
Ferries link the Le Havre terminal with Portsmouth, on the south coast of England. Before booking a crossing, check that the rental company allows the United Kingdom and that the insurance covers it. As the country is outside the European Union, bring a passport and expect customs checks at boarding.

The two service providers made me pay for the insurance for the car. And when I request a refund for one of them, I no longer get a response. I will travel by motorhome again, but certainly not with CoolDrive, nor with my friends.

First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Le Havre
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in France?
A European category B licence is enough for a vehicle under 3.5 tonnes, which covers campervans and most rental motorhomes. A licence issued outside the European Union may need an international driving permit as well. The minimum age and years of driving required are shown in the conditions of each offer.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome on the Alabaster Coast?
Most coastal towns, from Étretat to Fécamp, set aside motorhome areas and ban overnight parking on seafronts and clifftops. In Le Havre, the Forêt de Montgeon campsite, on the heights, is handy for the first or last night. Check local by-laws before settling in for the night.
Can I hire an automatic motorhome in Le Havre?
Yes, it is one of the strengths of this departure point: the Van for 2, the Carado T-447, the Adria Matrix M670SL and the Sunlight A70 are offered with automatic or manual gearboxes, and the Sunlight T 68 as an automatic. Handy for anyone who has never driven a large vehicle with a clutch, especially on the hills of the Pays de Caux.
What to do in Le Havre on a rainy day?
The André Malraux Museum of Modern Art, facing the sea, holds one of the richest Impressionist collections in France, with many works by Boudin. The Perret show flat illustrates life in the rebuilt city, and St Joseph's Church impresses with its lantern tower of coloured glass. Les Bains des Docks, an aquatic centre designed by Jean Nouvel, rounds off the day.
When should I book a motorhome in Le Havre?
Only one partner company is based in the city: in July, August and over the May bank holidays, the automatic models and the campervan for two go first. Book several months ahead for those periods. Outside the season, a few weeks is usually enough, and the choice of dates remains wide.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Le Havre
Le Havre sits at the hinge of Normandy: to the north, the Pays de Caux plateau and its white cliffs; to the south, across the estuary, the Côte Fleurie and the hedged farmland of the Pays d'Auge. Two great bridges link both banks, so in a week you move from coastal valleys to apple orchards without ever driving for long. Further afield, the Bay of the Somme and the D-Day beaches are within a day's drive.
A trading and ferry port, the city is also a convenient arrival point, by train from Paris or by sea from England. Anywhere Campers rents vehicles for two to six travellers, with an unusually wide choice of automatic gearboxes. And the cool summers, without heatwaves, suit long tours along the coast.
