    The Camargue region is fabulous. I spent a day in Aigues-Mortes a few years ago. What a terrific place. Glad you enjoyed as much as me. Thanks for sharing - brought back good memories 😎 Peter

    Iain .... when you did the beer review it looked as if you had already had a 'session'!! Awesome video from your 2 again; thanks.
    I have been following you for a year now ..... and you have given me the impression that motor homes was All about wine, beer and BBQs; ... now I am disillusioned from about the 4:05 mark!! Is that a blue job or pink job, just like fixing the awning?
    Some say "... if you cannot remember what day it is, then you must REALLY be enjoying yourselves ..." 4:25 mark.

      Ha ha excellent thanks Roger 😂 and thank you so much for your support over the year! That's amazing and we really love reading your comments, always very well thought out and written plus excellent observations 🥰
      We don't seem to have pink or blue jobs, they all just seem to be Iain's 😂 But that does include the beer tasting and you might be right about the reviews in this video, possibly quite a bit of testing completed first off camera 📷😂😂😂 Thanks again Roger, hope your fish and chips were good last night, have a lovely weekend 🥰

      Thank you 🥰 Yes that was a concern for us too but because it was out of season it was very empty during the week, at one point there was only about 10 people in the whole pool complex 😁 Although at the weekend it was very different... Fortunately we left on the Saturday 😂 Have a lovely weekend and thanks for watching and commenting

    Love France although it is much more expensive these days since president Mackerel raised taxes but you guys look to have had a fantastic time although that site seemed to be fairly quiet it was much bigger than we would normally choose but on the plus side I suspect it was local for the town. Ian I am going to open a shop in Weaverham selling beer & stuff you didn't know you needed so I expect you to be my best customer😂😂 Did you pay classe 1 tolls as they tried to charge us classe 2 when we were last there but after a quick chat on the intercom it was changed. Cheers K.

    • @VantasticAdventures
      @VantasticAdventures  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Please do that shop sounds perfect 😂👍😁 Yes we chose the site due to the location and because it was so big we had plenty of space and a lovely pitch all to ourselves plus it was out of season so not too bad until the weekend when the locals turned up 😬 definitely wouldn't stay here in August but slightly out of season it was very good indeed 👍
      We didn't realise ref the class 😳 paid class 2 everywhere 😂 oh no that's why it was so expensive, wish we had asked before we set off as just thought that's what campervans cost 😂 lesson learned and thank you, will make sure next time we take your advice 🥰👍

      @@VantasticAdventures Maybe class 2 due to the pop top but. Mrs K has just cleared up the confusion, I was thinking of our VW Cali which at under 2m high is class one, yours and our new van when it arrives will be class 2 as over 2m high so I will be avoiding toll roads.

    Was that a sneaky little selfie in the van near the beginning Caroline? Did it tell you on the website that the campsite sold local beer? 😂 I do love a horse with a blonde mane - from a distant that is 😂 great to see you guys go down the water slides. You know we would have too 😊 Bbq tee shirt - so funny to hear you talk about it but a great idea 😂 really enjoyed this one 😊👍🏻

      Ha ha - good spot on the selfie 🤳 😂 We did feel a bit out of place on the slides as mostly kids with parents but we have to test these things for our viewers of course so we went on them all 😂 3 in total, you would have loved them 😁👍 Thank you and glad you enjoyed the video, it was an amazing place would definitely return

    Great video again. Enjoyed your trip around Aiges- Morte as we were only there for a couple of hours and spent most of the time waiting for our lunch in one of those restaurants in the square 😂. We were on a 2-centre train holiday with the first part in Annecy which is your trip in reverse. Enjoy Annecy, we loved it. 💕

    • @VantasticAdventures
      @VantasticAdventures  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you Ann 🥰 It’s such a beautiful place! The square was lovely but we were quite fortunate as Caroline ordered the vegetarian paella which they said would take a long time so we explained we had tickets for the train and needed to eat quickly, they were brilliant and served us in record time 😂👍

    Absolutely lovely place, have never been to The Camargue area , definitely put that on my wish list, Aigues Mortes looks a very cooool vibrant town. The medieval town and the restaurant area look amazing, reminds me of Carcassonne in the south. Im enjoying you both traveling around France and i am looking forward to watching the rest of your trip.

    • @VantasticAdventures
