France made a welcome return to the Formula 1 calendar in 2018 after a ten-year hiatus. Unfortunately, the first race at Circuit Paul Ricard in almost 30 years was beset by significant organizational issues which caused transport delays for many fans entering and leaving the circuit. Thankfully, the organizers put in place a proper mobility plan for 2019, making for a much improved spectator experiences.
With a rural location and very few little accommodation close to the circuit (apart from camping), the best places to stay are in France’s second biggest city of Marseille (50km to the West), or the smaller cities of Bandol (20km south of the circuit) or Toulon (30km to the south east).

Hi there what is your availability and out please
Hello,
We are looking for a nice place to stay for 2 nights with our camping-car during F1 from friday 22.07 up to Sunday 24.07.2022. My husband and son will go to the circuit on saturday 23.07.2022 and I and our daughter want to relax on the beach or visit a nice town.
Maybe someone has a privat area for us near the circuit Paul Ricard.
We do not need a crowded camp site as we like nature and quite places.
Looking forward to receive reactions.
Kind regards
Jolanda Creemers
