Le Voyageur is France's foremost luxury A-class motorhome manufacturer, with over four decades of expertise in building premium integrated motorhomes. The brand stands for innovation, luxury and unique design, and every model is meticulously handcrafted in Angers, France using premium materials including hand-sewn upholstery and advanced insulation systems.
The current range comprises two main families:
The Eternity (Eterna) — 14 A-class models on Fiat Ducato platform, offering Le Voyageur luxury in a range of sizes from 6.8m upwards. These models represent the most accessible route into Le Voyageur ownership while maintaining the brand's hallmark quality.
The Legacy (Heritage) — Mercedes-Benz Sprinter-based A-class models on AL-KO chassis, offering rear fixed double bed or twin single layouts. The Heritage range returns Le Voyageur to its Mercedes roots and represents the premium end of the current lineup.
Historically, Le Voyageur's Liner models — built on Mercedes Atego chassis up to 10.86m long, with garages large enough to accommodate a Smart car — represented the absolute pinnacle of French motorhome luxury. While the Liner range has been discontinued in its original form, its DNA lives on in the Heritage models.
Competing in the £100,000+ niche of the motorhome world, Le Voyageur is not for the budget-conscious. These are motorhomes for discerning buyers who demand the finest materials, construction and design.
Le Voyageur was founded in 1981 by Georges Sacier, who created the first French A-class motorhome by combining Duralinox and polyester to build a remarkably strong body onto a Mercedes-Benz chassis. This pioneering approach established Le Voyageur as France's premier luxury motorhome manufacturer from day one.
The company is based in Angers in western France, with production split across two facilities: one in La Membrolle-sur-Longuenée for the LV and Signature ranges, and a dedicated facility for the flagship Liner models.
Le Voyageur became part of Groupe Pilote in 2001, joining a family of motorhome brands that includes Pilote, Frankia and Bavaria. Within the group, Le Voyageur is positioned as the premium flagship brand, representing the pinnacle of French motorhome luxury.
Today, Le Voyageur produces between 300 and 400 motorhomes per year — deliberately limited volume reflecting both the high-end positioning and the time required for meticulous handcrafting. A typical customer waits four to eight months for their vehicle to be built and delivered.
France's premier luxury A-class manufacturer — Le Voyageur created the first French A-class motorhome in 1981 and has led the premium French motorhome market ever since. Four decades of A-class expertise inform every vehicle.
Meticulous handcraftsmanship — with 300–400 units per year and build times of four to eight months, every Le Voyageur receives individual attention that mass-production brands cannot replicate. Hand-sewn upholstery, premium materials and obsessive quality control define the ownership experience.
Elegant French luxury design — Le Voyageur interiors combine French design sophistication with genuine luxury. The aesthetic is refined and elegant rather than showy, with materials and finishes that age gracefully and feel genuinely premium.
Exceptional build strength — the founder's original innovation of combining Duralinox and polyester for superior body strength continues to influence Le Voyageur's construction methods. These are motorhomes built to endure decades of touring.
Groupe Pilote backing — as the flagship brand in a group that includes Pilote and Frankia, Le Voyageur benefits from shared engineering resources and supply chain while maintaining its exclusive identity and manufacturing standards.
If you want the finest French luxury — Le Voyageur represents the absolute best that French motorhome manufacturing offers. For buyers who appreciate French design, materials and craftsmanship, no other brand competes at this level.
If exclusivity matters — with only 300–400 vehicles per year, Le Voyageur ownership is rare and distinctive. You won't see another one at every campsite, and the brand carries genuine prestige within the motorhoming community.
If you want a handcrafted vehicle — the extended build times and individual attention to each vehicle create a bespoke quality that factory-line production cannot achieve. These motorhomes feel individually made because they essentially are.
If you want an alternative to German luxury brands — for buyers who find Concorde or Niesmann+Bischoff too clinical or German in character, Le Voyageur offers a distinctly French interpretation of luxury that is warmer, more elegant and more individual.
Very expensive — new Le Voyageur models can reach almost €300,000. Even used examples command strong prices reflecting the brand's exclusivity and quality. This is firmly luxury territory.
Extremely limited UK dealer network — with very few specialist UK dealers, servicing, warranty work and parts supply require planning and potentially significant travel.
Parts availability can be slow — the handcrafted nature and limited production mean that specific components may need to be sourced from the Angers factory, with corresponding lead times.
Most used examples are LHD — the majority of Le Voyageur motorhomes in the UK used market are continental left-hand drive imports. UK-specification RHD models are scarce.
Large vehicles requiring specialist driving — the larger models are substantial motorhomes that require confident driving and may not be suitable for all UK roads and campsites.
Niche brand with limited market recognition — while revered by enthusiasts, Le Voyageur is unknown to casual buyers, which can affect resale speed though not necessarily price among knowledgeable purchasers.
Verify UK specification — confirm RHD, UK gas system and electrical standards. Most used Le Voyageur models in the UK are continental LHD imports.
Check the base vehicle — on Fiat models, standard Ducato checks. On Mercedes Sprinter models, verify full dealer service history, check injectors and turbo condition.
Inspect the premium interior — check hand-sewn upholstery, premium surfaces and all furniture mechanisms. Repairs to bespoke materials carry premium costs.
Verify complete service history — comprehensive records are essential for premium vehicles and significantly affect value.
Conduct thorough damp check — use calibrated meter on all surfaces, particularly around the integrated cab-to-body junction on A-class models.
Establish parts and service support — confirm dealer access before purchasing, as the limited UK network is a practical consideration.
Le Voyageur provides manufacturer warranty through Groupe Pilote. The handcrafted nature of these vehicles means warranty support typically involves the French factory or specialist dealers.
For used purchases, an independent warranty backed by the RAC provides essential protection given the limited UK dealer network and the premium cost of specialist repairs.
OakTree Motorhomes offer up to three years of RAC-backed warranty, providing peace of mind on a luxury French motorhome where individual repair costs reflect the premium market positioning.
When buying a used Le Voyageur, look for a dealer that offers an independent warranty backed by a provider like the RAC. This means your warranty remains valid even if the dealer ceases trading. OakTree Motorhomes offer up to three years of RAC-backed warranty, covering the average ownership period.
