And caravan parks aren't simply fields these days! They can offer everything from swimming pools, cycling, tennis and sailing, to bars, restaurants and regular entertainment. So be prepared, ensuring that your multi trip travel insurance will cover any planned activities.

Each of France's regions has many beautiful caravan sites and it is impossible to mention them all in this guide. Normandy, in the north-west of the country, is a very popular area with tourists, as it can be reached easily by ferry or train. This is an ideal destination to begin your caravan tour; simply hop onto a train or ferry and drive off shortly thereafter! Normandy offers 350 miles of coastline, as well as diverse landscapes, culture and scenery, so whatever you're looking for out of your caravanning holiday, you will not be disappointed. It is also well-known for its warm people and hospitality, so you are bound to feel right at home. With so many people returning to this region more than once during the year, multi trip travel insurance may well prove to be the most cost effective solution.

For those with younger children, La Vallée is ideal, with an abundance of evening entertainment and facilities geared towards the little ones.

Burgundy, in central France, is described as the Heart of Europe. It is associated with good food and even better wine, as well as romance, sophistication and awe-inspiring scenery. The region's capital, Dijon, is a largely unspoilt town of beauty and pride.

The rest of the region boasts peaceful, unspoilt villages with charming architecture, captivating countryside and an abounding relaxed atmosphere. Really indulging in their food and wine, the people of Burgundy truly do live the good life.
