Hi all, the wife and I are currently planning this years holiday, were planning on visiting my wife's grandmother in Bandol in the south of France and introducing her to her great granddaughter and driving there and back with our little girl in our westy. I'm after any advice from anyone that's done this journey or similar in the past? We don't really want to follow the motorways and pay the payages all the way although we know it's not possible all the way.
So mainly any costs we should consider? Any particularly nice routes to take? Any decent campsites that are at a good stop off point? (We're stopping at Lyon for one night on the way there and on the way back as we have family there as well)
My van is a standard 1600 westy with full interior, there'll be two adults and one child inside as well as the usual camping gear. What should I be expecting mpg? (Ballpark)
Any help or advice is appreciated guys, cheers.
