VAN LIFE IN EUROPE TRAPPED IN A HEATWAVE. (Western France)
This week we are still exploring the west coast of France in our camper van. As we head off of the Island of Il D'Oleron (not before one final very unique adventure) and begin heading North, it doesn't get any cooler! We catch up with some friends @GadgetJohn and @unadventurousmandy
before finding a giant serpent in the sea but, most importantly, we are just trying to keep cool living in a van! This involves a fair bit of "wild swimming" which is lucky, as france has some of the best wild camping spots of any country we have ever been too! France really is one of the best countries in Europe to van life, you can travel as free as you like!

Joan is doing so well, I’ve just lost my husband and I hope I can be as brave as her and carry on ❤️
We hope you can too and hopefully seeing Joanie gives you a little hope that you can 🙂
@@campervibe thank you ❤️
❤
@@richardsracingmad thank you ❤️
You absolutely can be brave and carry on ❤️🙏🏻🥳 I lost my only Daughter in 2022 and she would never want me to stop living a full life and I’m 61 & full of hope that God gives me as does my Daughters memory 🥳🥳🥳
Another fab video ladies, you talking about plastic bottles on the dash for warm water, I suppose you already know the glove box thing on the top of the dash on passenger side chills products when your air con is on so Em has storage to close and prevents chocolate melt Ng or plastic bottles of chilled water. Em you will need to refill chocolate once eaten, it is not magically linked to your snack cupboard 😂
guys. our dog (who we saved in spain) had arthritis when he got older. we moved from spain to dubai and it got worse. we then came back to the UK and it mostly cleared up. it seems cool climates are better for the dogs. the opposite for us humans.
We hang the dog bags off our towball until we can find a suitable bin. If we're in the car we use the back window wiper (but not if it's likely to rain as we don't want brown stained windows).
That swimming lake looked like Jugon les Lacs where our dog Shep decided to roll in/on a dead fish on our second day in France. In spite of dragging him in the lake, hosing him off, pushing him in the shower, using fox poo shampoo and rubbing his back with lavender bushes he was still stinking 10 days later when we got home.
No matter how shit my day has been I can put you two on and a massive grin appears on my face. Just got back from touring the Normandy beaches. Love France and the French people.😁
😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Louise and her seatbelt 😂😂😂. Happens to me every now and then and it is really annoying. At least now it makes me laugh when it happens to me because it reminds me of Louise 🤣.
So annoying 🤣🤣
This is my third comment, but that can't be bad for your algorithm. I just wanted to say that I DIE every time Louise gets caught by that seat belt, and I know that's probably every time.
Girls - wrong video I know but touring Norway and Sweden and just wanted to thank you for the “Willys “ supermarket tip you gave last year
You are right, I really thought the “Twat Hat” was coming off when Lou was swimming. I would never recognise Lou without her hat. Also, yes, some viewers were loving Emily in the Bikini.
Tie the bags to the underneath of the rear bumper till you find a bin..... just don't tell Joanie it's her bumper you're using.. 😏 And the look of jealousy on Emily's face when the ice creams came out 😂😂
😂😂😂 could you imagine
That's nice of him to borrow you his stuff and food idea with the stickers. But if you want any free vinyl stickers doing give me a shout
Thank you for all the belly laughs! great episode x
What a beautiful video as always ! AJ is such a good boy ! So patient, and never seems to beg for food ! Have you had him since a pup ? Thanks so much for the wonderful videos - so enjoyable and entertaining to watch ! You two are the best
He is a good boy, kind of, he was a rescue and we got him at 9months so there were a fair few bad habits to combat at first but he is a good boy
You two are bloody fantastic. Having watched the behind the scene’s vid last week I much more appreciate what is involved in my Sunday entertainment, and it is entertaining.
That cycle that you hired to travel to the lighthouse made me cough laughing, and Emily in the sea just about saw me off.
I think that parkup next to the river and the film night was spectacular.
Take care ladies.
😂😂 the bike thing was pretty fun
Lovely to see Joanie in this week’s episode especially when the three of you were on the bike thing and having so much fun, I felt like I was there with you. Good to see that AJ”s arthritis is ok, I know what it is like as I have the human version in my shoulder and both knees xx
Yeah it’s not nice at all is it, I feel for you both
The driver side seat belt has become another character on your channel. I can’t explain why I get such a kick out of the grief it regularly visits on Louise, but there it is.
Only Lou can pull off wearing that ridiculous water hat and look great doing it! 👍❤️. Safe travels to you all. Love your videos!
😂😂😂
About time you gals had some hot weather without drenching downpours - glad ya made it through the heatwave. It was wonderful to see Joanie too, she's such a hoot! Best of the weather and pitches to you all. See ya next week!
We did have a down pour today, which was a nice change 😂😂
I cant imagine a person being selfish. When you love someone you want to share. I understand why Louise didnt share. She isnt a selfish person at all. Good to see Joanie having such a great time.
No Louise is not a selfish person at all 😀
Neither one of you are selfish.
It's just so funny how every channel I have watched this week has a nebula mars 3!
One reason I love cats they are clean and at least cover their poop
Hi Emily Lou and Joanie looks like a great fun blog AJ looks so well he enjoys the beach,nice to see Emily in the sea got to say the costume she was wearing is to stop the jellyfish 🪼 getting to her skin sure is different,Lou what is wrong with you getting a swimming hat do you ever take it of lol I don’t think I have ever seen you without it mmmm 😢it’s lovely to see Joanie enjoying her self better then sitting at home knitting lol what a bike ride it looked fun but hard work well it would be for me with the one leg lol 😅sorry AJ is feeling down well great fun as usual yes you park under trees you are going to get bird 🦅 crap good job no crows was in the trees lolhehe till next time take care keep safe,John 🌹🌹🌹🙏🦅👀👍🤔😓🫣🤭😊🥰🍓🍓
On the farm I’m on they have been busy bailing, and the last 2 mornings I have been treated to Red Kite very low fly past…I know someone with a camera would have loved that!
Bottle of red. Perfect, ms Emily. It's "ship shape and Bristol fashion" btw, Louise.
A term that may be appropriate for you guys, especially Emily, a snaccident (the inadvertent eating of too many snacks....)
Really enjoyed chatting with you yesterday, was great seeing you. Thanks for chatting, enjoy last few days. You're as fab in real life as you are on your vlogs❤
Teresa and Nigel xx
Go girls go
That's one cool way to wash whilst travelling ❤
i ove the hat.lovely videoyutwo love birds,x
Comedy gold girls, always look forward to Sunday afternoon for your cool video and everything you all do . Great to see AJ feeling beter . Take care all 👍
Enjoyed it all especially the part with the bird feeding from your hand. Looks like you are all enjoying yourselves lol that bike ride .
I saw an old photo of lou without a hat when you two first met in what looked like a club
Louise and Emily yous are truly amazing. I am so happy I have come across your program,I’m really enjoying it. It’s also lovely you have Joan for company sorry for her loss. I’m glad Ajs is enjoying being in the water. I ❤❤❤
Always sorry to see your videos end. Thanks!
Lou is getting to be a master of capturing landscapes.😎
Happy vlog.
We are on our way home to the Netherlands from the Picos de Europa Spain.
No heatwave there, in fact it rained there every three days.
Love your videos.
Dennis and Angéla. ❤
Couldn't agree more Lou, I'm definitely enjoying Emily's outdoor showers 😅
My word, yinz need some WD-40 for that squeaky 4-person vehicle!
Great Vvlog guys.... we have just arrived back to Adelaide Australia..... spelt 3 and a half weeks travelling Europe and the UK............... so was awesome trip and catch you next week..
Looked like Joanie is having a blast! You 3 make an awesome lil group! Awesome vid!
It's like being on a holiday camp site
Thank you so much for the deep, authentic smiles you cause all over the world! 🤩
O god so much laughter and fun I love it 💓😅
You girls are soo great together xxx❤
Great fun way to keep fit and exercise your legs ❤
Glad AJ is ok now, bless him. Our dog Turner is currently in week 2 following cruciate ligament surgery, so we’re all confined to the home; watching your brilliant vlogs is keeping us sane! Many thanks for sharing your travels Lou, Emily, Joanie, AJ & Summer! 😎🧢👩🦰 👩 🐶 🐈⬛
Hi, hope Turner is doing ok and the recovery is good, it does take a lot of time for sure 🐕
It certainly does! Thank you so much for your good wishes for our boy. xx🐾 🐶❤️
Fabulous once again girls! Lovely to see you all enjoying yourselves out and about in the heat. Surprised you weren’t all complaining about aching legs after that ride out. Looking forward to next week before you get back to the tunnel!XX
😂😂 it definitely worked them
How utterly amazing feeding the birds straight from your hand,,total privilege.
Fabulous video ladies and AJ , enjoy your best lives to the full xxxxx
I know they were super cute
My favourite ladies ❤
Your clip of the 3 of you on the bike is hilarious. One of the funniest things 😂😂😂
Very sensible to wear a hat in the French heat...No one needs heat stroke and with the wind on Ile d'Oleron. I ❤ the hat! Je l'adore cet île aussi ❤ Would love to have your list of places you stayed as I'm keen to go there again... not far from where I live.
It was such a great place to visit we loved it 😀
Omg your outdoor cinema is seriously cool
I am glad aj is well again 😊
Lovely video. The solar showers are great. Used them for decades on camping trips. The kids loved them to😊.
That projector looks sick! Another fab video girls!
It was ridiculously hot, mid to high 30's everyday. My husband & I were at fouras for the month, dodging from shade to shade. Mind you the year before it was 40 on some days. Brilliant area we found by accident about 15 years ago & returned most years. I've not been back this year as my husband died a year ago & I've been catching up on all the jobs he hadn't been able to do this year but 2025 I'm determined to go back - in the (as yet unfound) campervan/ motorhome (as opposed to a tent or caravan) that we were looking for. Lovely to see places we knew through someone else's eyes. Thoroughly enjoy the channel & your humour /teasing each other. Thank you Tricia.
23:25 you only put 2 in 😂 you tight b 😂 Emma's not worth 3 scoops.😂🤑☕️
🤣🤣
Glad you all enjoying your self's 😊I. France
Brilliant vlog, xx
Hola👋 from New Mexico 🌵🌶️...What a wonderful fun vlog. 😂 . I like your projector. AJ sure did perk up when he saw all the other dogs. Have a great week . Thanks for sharing.💖🤗
Oh didn’t he just 🤣
'Will I fit down there' haha this terrifies us all the time, getting stuck half way down a one way street in Italy and having to reverse with a pile-up behind will forever haunt me... Great vlog as usual guys! And that swimming hat is just perfect for you Lou 😂
Oh I know right 🙈
Hey! Less of the OLD friends 😂 and I’m a coffee servant too, it’s just the best way to start the day, so I’m told 🤦🏼♂️
It was great to catch up with you again, next time who know what country we’ll catch you in 😎
😂😂 I’m with Mandy coffee is most definitely the best way to start the day, see you guys soon 😀
Way too hot for travelling in a van. We were enroute to Venice, but with a dog and temps hitting 32⁰c it would have been foolish. Change of plan from Austria and looking at a heat map decided the coolest place was the French Alps. So, hiding under Mont Blanc. Still very hot but seeing the snow and ice helps. If all else fails we'll get a chairlift up to the glacier... Stay cool people..
Another great video beautiful place
Joan is the bollocks, excuse my French. Ya never too old . Love it. Twat hat , perfect.
Love the ‘Tw@t hat’ 😂😂😂 looks like your having a great time, thanks again for sharing. Good to hear AJ is feeling better. The film on the side of your van was epic, how cool! ❤❤
Loved the video. You almost made that bike ‘torture’ look like fun 😉. There’s nothing better than feeding tiny sparrows from your hand. Years ago when London sparrows were in flocks of 50+ I fed loads of them on the bridge in St James’ Park and I never forgot the feeling of awe having this tiny creature trust me. Always look forward to your vlogs each Sunday and this was a cracker 👍🏻💕
Oh it’s just amazing ain’t it
The rain just arrived here in South East London a relief for people and animals. 🎉🎉🎉
Rain here too 🙌🙌
It is really bloody hot in the UK too. Thunderstorms on the way for us. My cat,Oreo aka Bubba, is beside himself, doing all I can to keep him cool. Take care ladies, AJ and Summer must take precedence. They depend on you to keep them safe and well, which you always do. You have your priorities just right. ❤Sea looks lovely, wish I could have a dip with you.
Rain here now 🙌
A swimming baseball cap: who would have known it was a thing! Great video as always and interesting sponsor section as well
Brilliant as always, the bike was so funny. Joanie is amazing, what fun you three are having xx
Loved the outdoor projector- reminds me of Drive-In’s back in the day. Ahhh the old plastic bottle and shower head trick - my life saver camping in my SUV. Used my solar shower for full body wash and then the bottles for my hair. Also great for rinsing out plates, sand of feet etc. other thing you can use too is the pressurised fertiliser big bottles - sounds odd but you can find a number of YT videos on using these for showering too… so many different ways… Glad to hear AJ is doing better. Take care in that heatwave - enjoyed seeing your Mum too.
Nice 👌 😀
You think it’s cold walking into the sea - have pity on us blokes! Love the GrannyFlat Bike, I bet you all had great fun!
😂😂😂
I absolutely loved watching you two having a blast with Joanie!!! Great vid.
Expawers have an aircon unit for the back of a van 👍
Thankyou both for sharing the amazing, positive and bad points of living a van life. Im currently holding you two responsible for making me so obsessed with van life and now saving to get a van 😂😂😂🙈 lol
😂😂😂
Hey Joanne you are looking amazing! Traveling agrees with you!
Lou “you are just like your Mother” Emily replies “ She loves me” 😆🤭 Those little birds were SO cute & comfortable eating out of your hand Emily! Glad to hear AJ is feeling better? Excellent Vlog as usual! Great music, content & music! 💜💜🐶 🇦🇺 #France #VanLife #Happiness
They were super cute little birds 😀
I’m with you Louise, I swim in a hat too, I can’t stand the heat on my head, though I have to admit I don’t have straps on my hat!
Excellent video...again! The cinematography is outstanding again. Love the way you tell your story. Very practical....and you are both so funny. We feel like you are talking directly to us. Awesome guys 👏👏
Thanks 😀
Hi great video love your channel hope jonie is having a good time 🌈
Marvellous video as always. Glad AJ improved they’re such a worry. Looks like you all had a fabulous time. The sculpture was amazing and great park ups, love France for the way they encourage van life. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
hiiiiiiiiiii lou and em wow those narrow roads and love that cycle cart-looks so much fun:) and awww those birds feeding off your fingers :) and finally you have picked some amazing locations -so jel ....keep them coming as you keep me smiling x
😀😀
Amazing to see St Brevin, a few miles from where I live. It has been horribly hot here - looking forward to winter already!
GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK GIRL
Love your blogs , your filming is great Lou , we are hoping to go through France in our van next year, we have done it on our motor bike , but too old for that now lol , love Joanie bless her she up for anything, looking forward to the rest of your fanny adventures x
Happy travels
Brilliant video, Brilliant family, Brilliant hat. Thanks for the time you put in. ❤
Fabulous video Girls. Beautifully filmed. West Coast of France is amazing. Keep Loving the Adventure ❤
Love the channel girls and getting better all the time, we are just back from very nearly the same route and like you guys we intended to go much further south but it was just to hot, also didn't to that much wild camping because with the discount card the campsites are so cheap €9.50 P/N in one case... Keep it up ❤
Exactly right, nice cheap and showers to keep you less sweaty 🤣
Such a lovely vlog, obviously having lots of fun. We love Joanie!
Sometimes it would be great to have some foldable solarpanels with a bit of cord so you could park in the shade and put the panels in the sun, I bet Anker has some solutions for you!
Also the projector was great, I can just imagine a couple of vans together having a movie night and showing each others youtubes.
I know it was make for a great evening with friends
I wear caps in this heat aswell. I don't feel like having a heatstroke and a headache with the sun blasting on my head
Well… if I were to recommend a travel/fun channel that was very well filmed, extremely informative and fun also marvellously edited and put together… 😮 … yes it would be you Campervibe!! 🎉❤😊❤😊😂
🥳🥳🥳 that’s very nice of you 😀😀
So pleased AJ is coping with the heat 👍
I would like a link to that solar shower please as my solar shower handle broke last week on a trip.
I absolutely love l’Île d’Oléron …….but, Saint Palais sur Mer just outside Royan is sooooo very nice, too. It is great to see you travelling about such a lovely area …..I had to cancel my trip to France last month because my dog was quite sick, and you are both making me feel very nostalgic. He is on the mend now, so - look out, France, I’ll be there in September! Woo-hoo!
Glad that he is doing better 🙌🐕
We've stayed on that municipal campsite in St Denis a few times. The beach is like the Caribbean! In the summer they have a great daily market in the village square.
Oh yeah it really is 😀
Hi girls we’ve been away in France ourselves have watched your episodes and thoroughly enjoyed them keep the good work up x
You need to add some fold out solar panels to your kit that you can place out in the sun when you park in the shade👍🏻
