Hiring a campervan in Paris means setting off from the French capital towards regions that begin an hour's drive away: the Champagne hillsides to the east, the Fontainebleau forest and Burgundy to the south, the châteaux of the Oise and the Bay of the Somme to the north. 6 rental partners and 9 depots offer motorhomes, campervans and converted vans: Anywhere Campers, Autocaravan Express, Avis Explore, BlackSheep, McRent and Motorhomes Italy.

Road trip ideas
Road trips from Paris
1 Champagne, from the Marne valley to Reims
- Paris
- Meaux
- Château-Thierry
- Épernay
- Hautvillers
- Reims
- Paris
Head east along the Marne valley: Meaux and its cathedral, then Château-Thierry, gateway to the Champagne vineyards. The Champagne tourist route winds between hillsides and wine villages to Épernay and its Avenue de Champagne, then Hautvillers and the Montagne de Reims, before the coronation cathedral. The A4 motorway is tolled: the minor roads along the Marne are slower but far more scenic.
- Distance
- about 400 km
- Recommended vehicle
- All types of motorhomes
2 Fontainebleau, Chablis and Vézelay
- Paris
- Barbizon
- Fontainebleau
- Moret-sur-Loing
- Sens
- Auxerre
- Chablis
- Vézelay
- Provins
- Paris
To the south, Barbizon, the painters' village, opens onto the Fontainebleau forest, its rocks and its château, then Moret-sur-Loing and its riverbanks. You reach Sens and its cathedral, Auxerre on the Yonne, the Chablis vineyards and the hill of Vézelay, before returning via Provins, a medieval town with intact ramparts. A varied loop with short stages.
- Distance
- about 550 km
- Recommended vehicle
- Low-profile motorhome or camper van
3 Chantilly, Compiègne and the Bay of the Somme
- Paris
- Chantilly
- Senlis
- Compiègne
- Pierrefonds
- Amiens
- Saint-Valery-sur-Somme
- Paris
To the north, the Château de Chantilly and its Great Stables, Senlis and its medieval lanes, then the Compiègne forest and the Château de Pierrefonds, restored by Viollet-le-Duc. Amiens and its cathedral, the largest in France, lead on to the Bay of the Somme, its seals and Saint-Valery-sur-Somme. The small roads of the Marquenterre are narrow: a campervan is more comfortable there.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Paris?
Best time
May, June and September
May to June, September
highs 20 to 24 °C, lows 10 to 14 °C
The best months to leave from Paris: long days, mild temperatures and sights less crowded than in high summer. In September, after the back-to-school period, the roads clear and the grape harvest begins in Champagne, the liveliest time in the wine villages.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 25 to 26 °C, lows 15 °C
Peak season: moderate heat, long evenings and lively beaches on the Bay of the Somme. The big holiday departures jam the motorways on Saturdays in late July and early August: avoid those days. Paris empties in August, which makes leaving the city easier.
March, April and October
March to April, October
highs 13 to 17 °C, lows 4 to 10 °C
Cool months that suit châteaux and forests: in April the gardens of Chantilly bloom again; in October the Fontainebleau forest takes on its autumn colours. Showers are frequent and nights chilly, especially in March: a heated vehicle is welcome.
Winter
November to February
November to February
highs 7 to 11 °C, lows 2 to 5 °C
Winter in the Paris region is grey and cool, rarely snowy. It is the season of Christmas markets, notably in Reims, and of Champagne cellar visits, sheltered from the cold. Many campsites close during these months: check they are open before each stage.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Choose the depot that fits your route
Avis Explore, in Rueil-Malmaison, is to the west, on the road to Normandy; McRent, in Lagny-sur-Marne, and BlackSheep, in Charenton-le-Pont, are close to the A4 towards Champagne; BlackSheep in Le Kremlin-Bicêtre sits at the start of the A6, towards Fontainebleau and Burgundy. Picking the right depot spares you a drive across Paris.
Ring road and reserved lanes
The Boulevard Périphérique has a 50 km/h speed limit and its left lane is reserved at peak hours for car-sharing, taxis and buses; other access roads have reserved lanes marked with a white diamond. Leave the city early in the morning or around midday to avoid traffic jams.
Visit Paris without the motorhome
Street parking is paid almost everywhere, with higher rates for heavy vehicles, and most underground car parks are too low for a motorhome. The Bois de Boulogne campsite, the only one within the city limits, accepts motorhomes: leave the vehicle there and explore the city by public transport.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Paris
Where can I pick up a campervan in Paris?
Six partner companies welcome you at nine depots: Anywhere Campers, Autocaravan Express and Motorhomes Italy in Paris, Avis Explore in Rueil-Malmaison, McRent in Lagny-sur-Marne, and BlackSheep in Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, at the Bercy 2 shopping centre in Charenton-le-Pont and at Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports. The exact address and meeting time are in your confirmation.
How much does it cost to hire a motorhome in Paris?
The price depends mainly on the season, the rental length and the vehicle, from a van for two to a family motorhome. Run a search with your pick-up and return dates: you get the real rates of the Paris depots, mandatory fees included, bookable straight away, and can compare the available offers.
Can I do a one-way trip from Paris?
Yes, depending on the company: Chartres, Évreux and Orléans, other departure cities of our partners, let you start in Paris and finish towards Normandy or the Loire Valley, for example. Any one-way fees are included in the displayed price as soon as you enter your return city in the search.
How many days should I plan from Paris?
Three to four days are enough for Champagne, from the Marne valley to Reims. Allow four to five days for Chantilly, Compiègne and the Bay of the Somme, and nearly a week for Fontainebleau, Chablis and Vézelay. Add half a day at the start to get used to the vehicle and leave the urban area.
Which vehicle should I choose to leave from Paris?
In the Paris region, a campervan or converted van is the easiest to handle: it slips through narrow streets and parks more easily than a tall, wide motorhome. The offers we found range from a van for two people to a motorhome sleeping six, more comfortable for a family heading quickly out of the city.

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 Paris
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in France?
A category B licence is enough for motorhomes, campervans and converted vans up to 3.5 tonnes, which covers the vast majority of rental vehicles. Licences issued outside the European Union are recognised under conditions; an international driving permit or a translation may be required. The rental company also sets a minimum age and years of driving.
Do I need a Crit'Air sticker to drive in Paris?
The Crit'Air sticker classifies vehicles by their emissions and is the reference for traffic restrictions. Greater Paris has introduced a low-emission zone whose timetable has been debated at national level: check the rules in force before you leave. During pollution peaks, the prefecture can also restrict traffic according to the sticker.
How do I reach the depots from Roissy or Orly?
BlackSheep hands over its vehicles directly at the airports, in car park P3 at Charles de Gaulle and car park P4c at Orly. For the other depots, plan a taxi or public transport: the RER B serves Charles de Gaulle and metro line 14 reaches Orly. Let the rental company know your arrival time.
Where can I stay overnight in a motorhome around Paris?
Outside Paris, campsites and motorhome service areas line the Marne valley, the edges of the Fontainebleau forest and the coast of the Bay of the Somme. Winegrowers in Champagne and Chablis also welcome motorhomes for one night. Overnight parking outside authorised places is often banned by local by-laws.
Can I go to Versailles or Disneyland Paris by motorhome?
Yes: Versailles lies west of Paris and Disneyland Paris to the east, not far from the McRent depot in Lagny-sur-Marne. These very busy sites do not always accept tall vehicles in their usual car parks: find out in advance about spaces reserved for motorhomes and whether overnight stays are allowed, which is often not the case.
When should I book a motorhome in Paris?
Several months ahead for July and August, as well as for the spring school holidays and the long weekends in May, which are in high demand from the Paris region. From October to March, the choice remains wide a few weeks before departure, ideal for an off-season break in Champagne or Fontainebleau.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Paris
Paris is an ideal starting point for travellers arriving by plane: the depots at Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports let you hit the road as soon as you land. In under two hours you reach the Champagne vineyards, the Fontainebleau forest or the châteaux of Chantilly and Compiègne; in a week, the Burgundy of Chablis and Vézelay or the Bay of the Somme.
With six partner companies and nine depots around the capital, the choice ranges from a van for two to a family motorhome. Chartres, Évreux and Orléans, other departure cities of our partners, open the way to one-way trips towards the Loire Valley or Normandy. And from May to October, the mild climate of the Paris basin is perfect for pleasant stages without excessive heat.
