I'm thinking of taking a trip down to the French Alps to do some of the famous climbs and was thinking about hiring a camper van type vehicle to sleep in and drive around in. My other option is going by car with a tent, or taking an organised trip by holiday firm.
I quite like the idea of freedom to do the climbs I want without pressure of a group timetable. I'm not the slowest of climbers (nor the fastest), but I'd rather not be hanging about waiting for others.
Just wondered if anyone has hired a camper for this sort of trip, can you recommend any good hire firms and give me an indication of what your costs were? I'm looking at at least 8 days with probably 5 days riding and 3 days driving. I may throw in Mt.Ventoux as well depending upon time.
Any pointers greatly appreciated....
