France yes or no?

chas raises a good point, though i do remember us staying on the ile de re for several weeks well into September....

as Jack is a newcomer to MH touring (and the forum) we dont really know what he wants to do for four weeks in SW France....tour around to see as much as poss, find a nice site and put his feet up etc...mixture?

it is certainly possible to tour for a month and stay exclusively on aires which will be plentiful and open.....

yes, those in town centres will be more 'car parkish' but many out in the countryside can be very pleasant places to stay and explore for a couple of days before moving on to discover the 'next bit'...

it really boils down to what type of 'holiday' the OP is after.....

Welcome Jack.  I am sure you will have years of fun in your new motorhome.   Don't hesitate to come over to France without delay.  It is such a 'motorhome orientated' country and there are aires as well as municipal campsites more or less everywhere you go.   If you plan on using campsites it is often necessary to make sure they are still open in September as many close in the middle of the month.  If you are using aires they are mostly available all year round.
A previous poster mentioned the book 'All the Aires'.  We prefer THIS one (Camperstop Europe) which is also available readily in the UK.  The only word of caution about aires is that they are often small areas with only a few parking places so it is often necessary to park up just after lunch in popular areas.
Either way I am sure you will have a fabulous time.
