Self-drive holidays for individuals or groups: holidays on the move

Publié le : 11 octobre 2022

Charmhotel offers holidays for car enthusiasts. Everything is planned to welcome roadtrip fans: specific itineraries or free tours, dedicated and secure places to store your beautiful cars, organisation of visits, confidential routes, several stay formulas...

Whether it's a classic car club, a sports car gathering or an individual holiday in a classic car, Charmhotel establishments know how to welcome drivers and their companions.

Plan a stay in one or more of our hotels, and you'll be sure to enjoy a holiday in an exceptional region while living out your passion for cars!

The benefits of car travel for car enthusiasts

Whatever the type of vehicle (classic, vintage or sports car), drivers can enjoy their beautiful machine while discovering or rediscovering a region.

Car enthusiasts can both enjoy the drive and take advantage of the local attractions: heritage, culture, festivals, events, crafts, gastronomy, wine, landscapes, sports...

Some drivers like to plan their tours in advance, with precise stages and times. Other drivers prefer to improvise. Whatever the case, car holidays offer a great deal of freedom: the freedom to stop and contemplate a viewpoint, for example, or to change route because the road is prettier.

Some routes are not accessible by coach, so travelling by car allows you to cover a larger area and take less-frequented routes.

Leaving and stopping whenever you like is essential for travellers seeking absolute independence. And self-drive tours make it possible!

Self-drive holidays: a wide range of destinations

Charmhotel has 17 destinations for roadtrip enthusiasts (16 regions in France, plus Quebec). It's an opportunity to discover unusual and unmissable places, famous circuits such as the Monte Carlo Grand Prix, and to experience the thrills of legendary roads.

Our hotels cater for all styles of holiday: sea, ocean, mountains, countryside... It's also the chance to combine your passion for cars with another leisure activity (a sport, a cultural event or a heritage discovery, not forgetting of course tastings of classic or prestigious local products).

Take to the roads of France, through landscapes as varied as they are unique, in your racing car or classic car.
