Hi we bought a touring caravan this year and are new to caravanning . However we have been to The Vendee, staying in a mobile home this year which we enjoyed. We thought we may take our new caravan to France next year. I was wondering if anyone could give us advice on ferry bookings and campsites which are nice. We are members of the Caravan Club. Preferably we would like one with a bit of activity and near a beach as we have a 14 year old son . We may even do a 2 centre holiday for a change . Any advice or suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks
Claire
Ive been in the C/C for 20 years ,and if I were going to France I would first get all their information on ferry/ caravan sites abroad, Ive heard they have good prices on both, 
You might want to pm Cidermonster and Gray the Mad Caravaner, who both have extensive experience of caravaning in France. Sorry I can't help you there, because I live as far away from the sea as you can get in France, but hope that you find lots of good information. Don't forget that French tourist offices in the major towns have websites that show all sorts of accommodation and often run municipal campsites as well. (For campsite, read caravans and mobile homes too!). All good wishes.

Well thanks for the bouquet Alsacienne
Touring France can be done two ways slowly by using the RN roads or by using the Autoroutes you can get to where you want with less fuel used and at higher speeds
as for which campsites there are loads and loads too many to visit in one lifetime I use various site searches to find places
the main one I use as we go out of season is the Camping Cheques one and the Les Camping de France one
You will find a list of campsites in Francethat we have visited on my personal site
Forgot to add Touring in France is very different to touring in the UK you have a much more relaxed attitude to everything
Fire a few specific questions to this thread and I'm sure we can help
think of things like
Electrics
Water and drains
noise
etc
