Overnight stops with a mini-camper around Bordeaux

Along the Gironde coast, overnight parking is banned by municipal bylaw in most resorts and many beach car parks carry 2-metre height barriers: aim for the municipal aires by the lakes and the campsites, rarely full outside July and August. In September, the France Passion farm network makes memorable stopovers in the Médoc.

Where to go by mini-camper around Bordeaux

Within two hours: Saint-Émilion and its listed vineyards, Cap Ferret at the tip of the lagoon, the big lakes of Lacanau and Carcans-Hourtin behind the dunes. Push to three hours and the Périgord opens an entirely different scenery of cliffs, bastide towns and markets around Sarlat.
