Motor-Home Homage
It’s easy to imagine a great vacation awaits those who rent a farmhouse in Southern France (“Farmhouses in France,” Aug. 30). Let me mention a variation on that theme: a motor home. (We’ve done it eight times.) Every advantage mentioned in those two articles still applies: food purchased at the local markets; no packing and unpacking; a chance to live among interesting and friendly people; visits to some of the best possible vacation sites, and the most exciting Roman ruins anywhere. The price is about the same as renting a home and a car for the month. And you can have some assurance the “home” you rent will be in good shape, and the plumbing excellent.
