Camperada

From Stuttgart to the Ardèche and Provence

From the south-west, the south of France is closer than most people think: one driving day to Lyon, and gorges, lavender and river sand are within reach. The Ardèche rewards you with wild pitches by the water; Avignon closes with the contrast of city and World Heritage.

Tolls and vignettes

For this route the planner lists no vignettes or special toll sections.

Plus distance-based tolls, estimated as a range:

  • France, class 2, around 315 km tolled€44 to €53

A range instead of a single figure, because tariffs vary by entry and exit.

Tariffs as of 2026, up to 3.5 t maximum permitted weight.

Overnight stays

€266 to €414

  • France, 9 nights€266 to €414

Average prices for 2 adults and 1 child per night, mid to high season (PiNCAMP price analysis 2026 (ADAC)). Your site may be below or above that.

How vignettes, distance tolls and special tolls interact across Europe is explained in the toll guide. What else to budget for on a motorhome trip is collected in the trip costs.

What was calculated with

  • Vehicle assumption: 3.00 m tall, 2.30 m wide, 7.00 m long, 3.5 t. These are reference values, not a specific vehicle.
  • Routed via GraphHopper on an OpenStreetMap basis. The vehicle dimensions fed into the routing.
  • One-way route without the return: it depends on your starting point and is added in the planner.
  • Calculated on 27 October 2026; in the planner the same route recalculates live with current prices.
