Ahead of the Tour de France: motorhomes gather in Corrèze before the race

Motorhomes are lined up along a road near Meymac (Corrèze), with fans arriving early to secure viewing spots for the Tour de France stage. Two retired couples from Pas-de-Calais and Yonne met at the Grand Bornand stage in 2018 and have met every summer since. They plan their route using the Tour's official guide, call each other, and travel by motorhome, combining their hobby with discovering new regions of France. This year, they are concerned about rising fuel prices.

French motorhome users stay home: direct impact on routes

According to Yescapa, 89% of French motorhome trips in 2026 remain domestic, up from 86% in 2023. This drives a 16% increase in bookings to cooler regions like Rhône-Alpes and Brittany, and shifts the peak season to September (73.3% intent) from August (45%). For Dutch and Flemish motorhome users, this means higher occupancy at popular spots and a need for early planning.
