Van Life Realities in South France: Highs, Lows, and Must-See Sights

- Until now our France van life adventure has been problem free. But we have to take the rough with the smooth this week as we visit some must see sights of France, whilst overcoming some odd problems.
Our day started out with a drive over the tallest bridge in the world, the Millau Viaduct. After that we should've had a straight run to Pont Du Gard, but you know how it goes. Thankfully this Roman viaduct, the best preserved and tallest surviving in the world, was very much worth a visit.
After spending the evening sightseeing we tour La Sousta Campsite and look to setoff for the next leg of our trip. But wanderbus, our converted van, throws a bit of a wobbler. You can't have it all ways we suppose, that's the highs and lows of van life. At least we had the issue in a beautiful place.
This is the fifth video in our France 2023 travel series. You can check the other videos out here: • France Summer Camperva...
Places visited in this weeks video:
- The Millau viaduct. This is on a toll road, which is worth noting. At the tallest bridge in the world it can get windy, so sometimes HGV vehicles are routed elsewhere. So bare that in mind if you plan a visit. You can find it here: goo.gl/maps/9c...
- Pont Du Gard is a preserved Roman aqueduct; the tallest Rome ever built and a Unesco heritage site. We visited in the evening, and as we were camped nearby didn't have to pay parking. If you visit in your car or motorhome you can park for your visit but you have to pay. Directions to Pont Du Gard: goo.gl/maps/L4...
- Camping la Sousta was where we stayed. This is a very well equipped campsite, and probably had too much for what we are used to (sounds weird we know) but you could legitimately stay there for your whole holiday and be entertained. It is well placed for Provence and local attractions too. This is their website: uk.lasousta.com

Beautiful scenery and bridges clever people the Romans. Sorry you had trouble with Bus. Well done Lily and Little Ginger for keeping everyone Happy and Positive ! Love you guys 😙
Thanks so much! 😊little ginger is a good travel companion.
Sounds like you have a little project when you get home….fix the mechanical problems…have fun with that. Another great video
Absolutely mate. Got to have something to keep us busy when we get back 😂
I think you've got new careers as travel vlogers. Could you please drive through Portugal next time, I've heard it's nice. Hope the bus get's you home.😃
Ah thanks Mark. You’re too kind. Portugal does look good and we do have plans to fit air con too. Could be a good test for that.
Went over that bridge not long after it opened, never even knew it was there 😂
lol that’s quite an accidental find.
@@WanderbusAdventures i have a very poor quality photo taken with a relic of a phone haha
@RoaminRob still cool though.
Clutch slave cylinder.. Just drive it without the clutch Rich.. Only use the clutch to start n stop. P.s nice shots of Kels bum lol :)
Agreed @holdenman8850. Not about the slave cylinder😂
It could very well be mate. It comes up with a mighty twang which makes us think it could either be a cylinder or the peddle itself. Oh and thanks for noticing lol
😂
Get a bungee on clutch pedal holding it up
Not a bad stop gap that Wayne.
Where’s Prudence
If you look closely you’ll see her
The trials and tribulations of vanlife eh!
Spot on mate. Its all part of the fun we think 🧐
Another great video.Clever people the Romans. They also built Hadrian's Wall to keep us savage barbaric Scots out of England lol
Thanks Donnie. I guess they knew when they met their match 🏴
