RV Road Trip - 100 Things to do in France 14/20
The country of France is literally filled with medieval cities, alpine villages, and glorious beaches. Vineyards and wines make it world famous, as do the many classical museums and monuments. Ancient caves with prehistoric drawings, theatres and palaces, art galleries and eclectic villages – there is something for everyone in this amazing country!
The French drink more whisky in a month than they drink brandy in a year! They are not huge fans of cognac or calvados. There are many whisky distilleries which have sprung up recently in the districts of Alsace, Corsica, Normandy, Brittany and Champagne.
There are many RV parks along the way, where you can spend a night or two while tasting the whisky.
If you visit a distillery, you may consider leaving the kids behind! Depending on how many you plan to visit, staying overnight may be a good idea. Most distilleries offer a service where you can purchase whisky and have it shipped home.
While the town of Orange is agricultural, and modest in the architecture, it is home to one of the most complete and best preserved Roman theatres in the world. You simply would not expect to find this in such an unsophisticated town.
The theatre was built in the first century AD, and it gets very busy in the summer months when it hosts the annual Opera Festival called the Chorégies d’Orange.
If you plan on visiting at that time and staying overnight, then be sure to book a hotel some months in advance.
The best way to see the palace and gardens is to take a tour. For some reason in France, people who are in a tour group are given entry priority, while others wait in line.
You will be able to see the extravagance of the King – Louis XIV – who built to 700 room Palace and adorned it accordingly!
There are more than 13,000 pieces of fine furnishings and artwork. You can see the luxurious apartments of the king and queen, the Hall of Mirrors, the Coronation Room, Royal Chapel, and the Drawing Room.
The gardens cover 1,800 acres, and often there are shows such as the Musical Gardens or the Fountain Show.
The Hall of Mirrors and the gardens are some things that you should definitely see!
Allow yourself a full day to do justice to this amazing place.
The wine route stretches from Marlenheim to Thann. It passes through endless terraced vineyards, cute little villages and medieval castles.
If you enjoy a glass of wine, then this is simply not to be missed! There is 200 years of history in the winemaking industry in that area. Plenty of spots to stop and taste along the way.
The wineries have shops where you can buy by the case, and have your wins sent home. This is the perfect road trip to take your RV, and explore the area in your own time.
Allow as long you you’d like to see this area, there are many small places to stay along the way.
It’s a great idea to do a walking tour of Nice, where you will experience all the culinary flavours of the province. Both Old town Nice and Vieux Nice will satisfy your gastronomic cravings, and you will be able to sample up to 20 different regional favorites.
The tours normally include a visit to a market, deli or food shop in the area. You will be able to see how locals prepare and serve their food daily. Of course, you will be able to taste as you go along.
This is not a tour for the very young children or those who need to be carried, so take that into consideration.
