To experience Normandy and Northern France up close and personal, a motorhome tour around the region ensures you have full control of your holiday. When you begin in Evreux, you’ll also start in the capital of one of the largest departments in the region, where you'll find motorhomebookers.com trusted rental partners.
To learn more about Evreux and its proximity to Paris and other northern cities in France, we have created a helpful guide to the area that will help you plan your next trip.
Surrounded by popular cities, Evreux is a diamond in the rough for those interested in historical and architectural heritage. In this regard, the city is best known for its two most important monuments: Evreux Cathedral and the bishop’s palace.
Built in the 10th century, the cathedral is devoted to Notre Dame at Evreux. Located in the centre of town, its impressive architecture and imposing size are hard to miss. Throughout history, Evreux has faced heavy damage, particularly during the Second World War, but the cathedral is one of several monuments that have endured.
Adjoined to the south side of the cathedral is the bishop’s palace. Today, this space is home to a museum and art gallery, Musée d'Évreux, Musée d'Art, Histoire et Archéologie, which is home to beautiful paintings, historical artefacts and modern art.
After taking in the sights in Evreux, you can depart from the city on a multi-city motorhome holiday to discover the Normandy region and beyond.
One of the most obvious destinations from Evreux is Paris, located just under 100 kilometres southeast of town. Following Autoroute A13 east, you can reach Paris in under two hours for the quintessential French experience in the capital of France.
For fans of motorsports, a two-and-a-half hour drive southwest of Evreux will lead you to Le Mans, the city best known for the oldest active endurance sports car race in the world, 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The minimum age requirement for renting a motorhome in France is 21, though some rental companies may only rent to those 25 and over. If you’re under 25, you may be subject to additional daily fees for insurance purposes.
Normandy doesn’t have an international airport but renting a motorhome here may be more ideal than doing so in one of the larger surrounding cities where the demand for camper van rentals is much higher.
Evreux's rich history and architectural significance will draw you to the northern city. However, its favourable location in Normandy and distance from Paris ultimately make it an ideal location to begin a much longer holiday in Northern France. From here, a camper rental is all you need to reach many of the area’s most popular attractions.
