Pyrenees campsite combines luxury and traditional pitches

The Les 3 Vallées campsite in Argelès-Gazost (Hautes-Pyrénées) has nearly 450 pitches, half of which are rental mobile homes. The site offers bars, restaurants, pools, slides, a current river, a padel court, and plans a 200-seat cinema. Owner Roger Mounard keeps 144 pitches for tents, caravans, and motorhomes to maintain an "authentic camping" feel. Prices for luxury cottages can reach 1,000 euros per night in peak season.

Motorhome expert names apps that save money on trips

TikTok creator Marina Luca, a motorhome specialist, said travelers lose money if they don't use certain apps. She recommends Park4night for finding overnight spots, Google Maps for navigation and locating shops, Wikiloc for planning routes, and GasAll for finding cheap fuel. According to her, these tools help avoid overpaying for parking, food, and gasoline, which is especially important given that converting a van can cost between €800 and €30,000.

Spanish woman moves into 12 m² motorhome and works remotely

Diana, a 31-year-old from Toledo, known on Instagram as @soyailenx, gave up renting an apartment and moved into a motorhome. According to Se Loger, the average rent for an unfurnished apartment in France was 671 euros in January 2026, and housing costs accounted for over 28% of household budgets in 2020 (Insee). Diana says she pays no electricity or water bills but admits that living in 12 m² requires organization and advises newcomers to first rent a van or motorhome for a trial.
