Bienvenue from Stephen and Stephanie

Our journey to a life in France started with our love of classic cars and many happy driving holidays through the wonderful French countryside on empty roads perfect for drivers. When planning our trips we would spend hours searching for somewhere:

  • easily accessible from the autoroutes

  • off the main road but with good access

  • with decent private parking

  • offering high quality accommodation (with sheets and towels included, particularly important when in a two seater sports car)

  • somewhere to wash the car

We spent hours street-viewing access roads, second guessing if parking was secure, and trying to find decent parking at places we wanted to visit. We spent as much time planning our holiday as the holiday itself!


In 2015 we decided to combine our love of France and love of cars to create the perfect place for like-minded people to enjoy driving holidays with much less effort. We finally opened Bonnes Routes in 2019.
