By Alison Addy


Camping Holidays in France Within Your Budget

When we think of a holiday in France, we often think of a fancy vacation walking up and down the streets of Paris. However, this is just one of the many types of France holiday vacations available. Camping is becoming a very popular pastime for couples and families in recent years. Camping is also a way that many are choosing to spend their France holiday vacation. If you're planning on a camping holiday in France, the best time to go is towards the end of the summer. Not only are most of the summer tourists gone, but the rates usually begin to go down around this time of year. Not only will you have a great camping vacation holiday in France, but you'll also save money in the process.

Preparing For Your Camping Holiday in France

Although a camping trip may sound like a cheap enough vacation, traveling to France and back will cost something. Before you plan the entire camping holiday in France, do some research to determine what your entire costs will be for the vacation. It's important that you not overextend yourself to have this holiday vacation in France. What you'll want to do is figure out your income as well as expenses and subtract your expenses from your income to see what's left over. If you have a savings account, you will probably be withdrawing money from your savings. A good rule of thumb is to not use more than 30% of your savings for your vacation. After some good calculations, you'll know how much money you have to spend on your France vacation, so you can begin planning.

Doing a search online for France lodging and airfare will help you to find the best and most affordable. If you live outside of France, finding cheap transportation will be the first thing you'll be doing. Trains are the main means of transportation in France so if you don't mind traveling longer, trains are much cheaper than airplanes. In addition, trains are fun to ride with your friends and offer a lot of sightseeing.

The money that you save on airfare and lodging can be used for fun and simple entertainment. France bike tours are an activity you may want to participate in if the weather allows. It's also a great way to meet friends and get exercise. Bike tours are becoming very popular sources of entertainment as well as exercise.
