Practicality and versatility: the motorhome with a French bed.
The French bed occupies a special place in the world of motorhomes. Positioned lengthways at the rear and adjacent to the shower room, it offers advantages that are often overlooked but undeniable.

Luminosity and perspective
The French bed is a real winner. It frees up space in the day area, creating a bedroom that’s more integrated into the passenger compartment. What’s more, it allows a spacious, independent bathroom to be installed nearby.
The advantages of a French bed
Airy, spacious interior
These motorhomes offer a remarkable sense of space, making it easier to move around on board and enhancing habitability.
Open design
Longer motorhomes, around 7 metres, offer maxi lounges for up to 6 people, with comfortable, well-appointed bench seating.
Optimised storage volume
The French-style bed hides a vast storage space under its mattress, accessible from both inside and out.
Versatility of space
During the day, the French bed can easily be transformed into a space for relaxing or working, avoiding the isolation of a traditional bedroom.
Privacy
At night, a privacy curtain isolates the sleeping area from the rest of the cell, and some models even offer extensions to guarantee a constant sleeping width.
