    France has tons of legal campsites. Prices vary from 5 euros or so to 10-12 euros. The 'camping municipal' is often the cheapest option but there are lots of good, cheap private sites as well.

    Camping in France is easy to come by, much easier than Italy and much much cheaper.

    I dont actually know the rules on stealth camping there but me and some mates did a few nights stealth camping on a road trip a couple of years ago and you will have no trouble.

    The place is so empty for the most part you can always find a spot.

    We managed to park a car, put up a 4 and a 3 man tent along with folding table and chairs and have a fire all with views of fantastic rolling countryside all around.

    If we could manage that, you on a bike with a little tent will be fine.

    thats good to hear, was getting worried it could be a daily battle to find places to pitch!

    on a 4 day countdown till we go, we have left plenty of extra time for enjoying lots of cheap drink!

    thanks for your help!
