I guess this is the standard price in France in July. Renting a car is expensive partly because the VAT is very high (around 20%). It's about the same with local renters who are located in the suburbs, far from the center of Paris. If you decide to rent a camper, it's better to take a small one because roads are often narrow particularly in the mountains.

I hope my answer is not too late and not too "discouraging". I think it's worth seeing the "Tour de France", especially in the Alps.

If you have other questions, don't hesitate. I'll try to answer them.

Didier
