The
concept is simple
All over France farmers and
wine-growers invite you to stopover freely
on their property, day or night, for up to 24hrs.
Each host signs an invitation for one year,
reserved exclusively for France Passion members
travelling in a self-sufficient (water, waste, rubbish)
motorhome. To use this extraordinary stopover network,
all that is required is to say "Hello"
and "Thank you"
and to have the current France Passion guide.
