Thanks for all the info and tips. It was very interesting to see your parking/camping site costs. This is something my wife and I are always discussing. She prefers more secure type/official overrnight stops which come at some cost. Looking at your costs and seeing your travels she now says she'll try some '!wilder' parking when we head to France/Germany in Sep. Good luck with planning your Poland trip.

I feel the baguette cost should have been broken down more 😂

Amazing, thank you, I think the costs were cheaper than a UK trip, well done for mastering travelling abroad in Harry. I take great inspiration from your experience. Looking forward to your next adventure, I must now watch some of your previous adventures. 😀🚐🐾❤️

Thanks for sharing. In comparison to pur recent trip to the Outer Hebrides, it fairs very well. Especially with the parkups. 🙂🐕🚙

Typical cost, I think. It's a Swings and Roundabouts scenario for your French leg of the trip. You saw more sights than most holidaymakers, and covered more kilometers, so the fuel costs are higher but site costs were zero. Heading in August, ferry from Dublin to Cherbourg (€800 return, and thats towards the lower end of the ferry cost spectrum!) then hopefully this year head towards Bruges etc for a change.

Thanks guys!

🙏❤️👍

All I can say is a big "thank you" for allowing me to go with you and enjoy all the adventures, it has been really great....

I’ve really enjoyed this series. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to next. Take care Gill

Thank you for sharing your trip into Europe. I have thoroughly enjoyed every episode and my Friday evenings won't be quite the same. I'm looking forward to your next series 😊

So pleased to hear Stews need for twix was maintained on this trip we were concerned for his well being. Fascinating to hear your costs as soon as we can retire we are off. Thank you for sharing your trip. Looking forward to the next adventure.

They take money before you fill then gets refunded .If using a credit card it's just a pending payment and gets cancelled when actual amount goes thro .

Fuel and ferry costs are always a big factor I find, but otherwise I don't think you spent that much. I always leave with a full fridge and cupboards, but being a vegetarian with coeliac disease means I have to do it this way. And as long as the trip was enjoyable, then really it was priceless.😊

Oh I really enjoyed travelling through France with you. I must say - with the GBP exchange rate to the South African Rand being a horrific +-23:1, a quick conversion of your TOTAL trip, would be a whopping R63 330 !!!!! That certainly makes holidays for Brits coming here to SA a real bonus 😂😂😂. The only thing would be your fuel costs would soar as our distances are enormous 🦋

Thank you - we’ve loved your series, especially WWII sites! Appreciate your cost summary- very helpful as we really double this with the $:£ exchange rate unfortunately. We are planning for 12 weeks in 2025 with a trip through Netherlands & Belgium & over to the Channel Islands too. Have to admit my French pronunciation has come up with some real doozies on Google translate too! Bit dispiriting for my efforts!! Good luck with your Polish - you’ll love Poland - be conscious of greater distances between places, & the quality of the backroads! Thanks again 😊

Thank you for sharing:)

really enjoyed this, cant wait to get my van and new mobility scooter later this year, planning a euro trip france,spain and portugal. you have got a new subscriber, take care you two

Not cheap. I don’t think our trip to Santiago 3,600km in total, cost anywhere near that, if I exclude the ferry cost from Ireland. I must sit down and work that out.

great👍

Love how you meticulously broke everything down. It’s time consuming doing & not forgetting to put something down. My ex partner & I also did this on our trips. Who was the one who had to keep the books. Looking forward to your next trip. Well done Stew on the other channel. Even if it’s a lot off what I call “Blocky” stuff. I’m useless using any tools whats so ever. Cheers cold 6.1 on a Saturday arvo so what better than heater on going to be 0 deg in the morning knitting & catching up on Utube channels I follow have asthma bad so another reason for taking it easy. So you have a new Prime Minister! Hope your economy improves for you. Final cheers. Lynne Victoria Australia 🇦🇺🐨👍🏻👋🏻🌺🌺. How’s the Azalea plant going

Not a good experience. It is a sign of the times though. I believe a window film clear or otherwise will stop any of your windows shattering in the event someone tries to break a window..

Wildcamping is not allowed in The Netherlands. This is why there were no places mentioned on P4N. Apparently fines are high.

Just returned from my Scandinavian trip this morning via junction 42 and Le Shuttle. I can confirm it’s just as easy with a dog / pet. The French border force commented I only had 8 days of my 90 days Schengen days left! 7,700 ish miles! Thanks for yet another informative video Jane and Stew. Richard and Captain.

This series has been just great. Thanks for giving us a breakdown of all costs involved.

We're not #vanlifers but we're inspired to try it as your Francetrip has been fab. We'll probably hire a van to see how we get on, first. Is £30 a day each too expensive? Nope, most definitely, nope!

hi enjoyed watching your latest trip will be waiting for the next one well done....oh and jane awsome eyes.

Great series of videos, although I think you may have peaked with the Google translation video (still very funny), well done to you both.

Thanks for the detailed breakdown of costs. Very useful 🙂👍

We play Rummikub competitively too, but don’t keep actual scores as too dangerous! 😂 We have the travel set, easier to store and play on small tables.

Statue of Liberty 🗽 small replica of one gifted to the US from France.

Hi Guys we have finally caught up with all your videos 😊. We are on country number 10 in Belgium, just met another autocampers gent called Richard in a clone of Harry called Sydney, I think you have had communication with Richard he is the gent who has recently been to Norway...... so we have been chatting getaway geese 😂.

Totally agree about charges in this country, why for years we headed to Europe. They want people, families to enjoy life. Have so enjoyed this series! Thank you 🥰

Sounds all.very eggciting

We've all (yes Blue watches too till his diazepam kicks in) enjoyed your French escapades. Very entertaining as always and totally agree with your rant Stew. It's certainly makes us think twice about England, that's why we mostly tour around Scotland. Mind you... Not everyone is respectful and appreciative of just what's on offer up there. 🙄🐕🚙

Staying on a campsite would be safer!

Lovely your videos. We’re heading to France 2025 in our campervan. Can I ask what do you do for bathing etc ?

Great video. Heading to France next year. Was going to be this year but we chickened out .

Well with regards to Stews rant, I agree, it's not hard to do these things to allow us to overnight and spend some money. As regards for free, I think it depends where it is. I stayed at the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre last night which was a fiver and I paid it. Nothing but bins and a tap and walks, and loos and a cafe when it's open during the day, but they rely on the car park donations for the upkeep of the place, so in some circumstances payment is valid. As for Jane's rant, well we never even let Nanook off the lead, he had an extendable only, and the same applies for Wolfie. As a dog owner, I get extremely p*ssed off with people who let their dogs do what happened to you, but towards my dog. They don't know what he's like. Wolfie is a friendly boy, but it's besides the point. As for the flasher Jane, I bet your dog nearly enjoyed a sausage sandwich that day 😂

Hi Stew & Jane about that rant - not only do you spend money and coment where you stop and enjoy the vacilities that are provided. You are TH-camr's and through that activity you encourage hundreds of other people to visit those places you praise and discuss who may spend lots and lots of money because of your videos. Remember your videos are freely advertiseing those positive places you visit. That could be very valuable to towns by increaseing many tourists to visit them as well as increaseing visits by "the power of word of mouth." Had a good laugh over your dog and the male exposing himself. Terrific.

You should have shopped in Lidl or Aldi, if you wanted a lower food bill that is. Expensive here now though.

You didn't get all the fuel overcharges refunded? 😱 Fingers crossed, you don't end up with any speeding fines. 🤞

I have loved coming along with you on your journey thru France - thanks for an amazing trip. The pizza looks yummy and just wanted to confirm - was it Stew that won the Rummikub ? Well done 👏🏻- love playing it too. 🦋

Well it is good to know I am not the only one to have problems with the last few days in France LOL. Perhaps the guy running was the guy you set the dog on and recognised you LOL

Where did u get the holder to the right of your worktop on the wall?

Stew you’re spot on with the perception “some” have about us campervanners. OMG Jane, well done for seeing that disgusting excuse for a man off! Good on ya! Great video, Em 💜

I have been watching your entertaining videos for some time. I love them - can not get enough of them. Thanks for all your work and effort that is put into them & put on to TH-cam. I am too old to travel like you do. Love to - You both give me enourmous pleasure as I watch your videos. In my youth I travelled through Britain, Wales, Ireland and Europe. Keep up the good work.

Very enjoyable video to finish off your trip to France. Took me back to many places I visited years ago. Thanks for bringing them all back to life. LA DEE SEE ON ha L’addition! Bon voyage for the next one.

Another very interesting and amusing video.. I'll now be looking forward to your North Ireland adventures!!!!
