- It was time to leave Cambrils in Spain and begin our journey back to Calais and then home in the UK. We stopped overnight at the Aire, Avenue du Pont du Gard, 30210 Remoulins near Avignon on the first night, which is the same place we stopped on the way to Spain. LINK to previous video • From ENGLAND to SPAIN ...
The next day we continued our drive to Beaune, France where we stayed on the Aire in this walled town of the Burgundy region. We looked around the town and enjoyed a very nice lunch at a restaurant in the town centre.
The next section of our journey was to the Aire in Saint Quentin that we previously visited in June 2023, when we were able to enjoy a summer walk around the city and Basilica. LINK to our previous video • FRANCE CAMPERVAN TOUR ...
On the final day of this tour we drive to Calais and we record the steps needed to get onto the train at the Eurotunnel Le Shuttle terminal.

Beautiful town .
Lol always got one friend that gets in the background
Billy no mates wanted to be in camera 😂 Bourn was lovely and a cracking parkup too 🚐💙 Trev
Thinking of you both lots of love
Thank you 🚐👍🏻 Safe travels 😃 Trev n Sue
Hi Trev and Sue a brilliant video as ever and looks like you both and Kev and Tracey had a wonderful time and made many happy memories it’s been great to come along with you! You have seen some wonderful places and looks like you’ve had a lot of laughs looking forward to your next adventure but for now all the best to you both Daniel
Thank you Daniel, it was a real dash to Spain and back and not for the feint hearted. We covered a lot of ground and would have preferred to have 6 to 8 weeks to cover what we did on this tour. However, we only had this 24 day window to do it or not do it at all. 😃👍🏻🚐💙 Trev
That Aire at St Quentin looked almost like a campsite. We need more Aires like that in the UK. Enjoyed your tour, wish we'd come with you 😊.
Thanks Bob and Jenny, it’s was an amazing tour with very few issues along the way. We will be recording a short video review of our thoughts, costs etc next week which expose some things to consider before we repeat our Spanish or Portuguese adventures 😃🚐👍🏻💙 Trev & Sue
That Aire looked very peaceful, and clean... What a nice 'dash'. You will be glad to get home now, after all those miles....
Spot on Bry. Had a fabulous time with friends and wouldn’t change it. There’s something special about being home in our own bed with the van parked in the drive. Happy times 😃🚐👍🏻 Trev n Sue
Yes these parking machines are popping up in a lot of places my thoughts there great .
It’s a very good thing to have these Aires in so many places. Nobody minds paying a charge for staying on a nice level parking place with facilities and near to a nice town. It’s win win all round as we spent our euros in the shops and restaurants 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue
You can’t beat an enjoyable night spent in a European bar with a interesting selection of beers 🍺🍺🤪🤪
Now that’s a fact ! 😂😂 We really did have some laughs. Some of the locals thought we were a bit mad I think but we were genuinely having a good relaxing evening 🍺🍺 😃🚐 Trev
The Aires look great and it’s nice to see decent size spaces and the price is very reasonable. Nice town - loved the French music too - takes me back to being in France. We’re still looking forward to our anniversary trip. Thanks for sharing your adventures its great for inspiration - all the very best, David & Rachel 👍
Thank you both. It was a great tour and we are developing a real love for France. We are returning in September for another adventure 👍🏻🚐🚐😉😃 Trev n Sue
Hello friend good morning my friend 👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Good morning and welcome 💙😃
@@PoshcatsCamping ❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great trip thank you
Thank you for joining us and your comments 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue
Now you need to rest up for the next trip. I enjoyed watching your Spain videos.😊💕👍
We have taken time to reflect and consider our next tour. There’s a few jobs to do at home before we embark on the next exciting adventure 😃 Thank you for coming along with us 👍🏻🚐💙 Trev n Sue
Beaune looks lovely. Pretty but not just a postcard view.
We call scaffolding 'the curse of Grape Soda Travels' as we turn up to castles, cathedrals and mansions and they're always covered in poles!
We have phases when all we seem to do is find closed places or scaffolding around them. It’s encouraging that restoration is happening but of course frustrating that pictures are not the best 😃 Safe travels 🚐👍🏻 Trev
Hi Trev and Sue, this looks a lovely town, poor Sue is freezing, nice you had a lovely meal. The buildings and shops were lovely, Loved the panda x. The aire looked pretty good. Such a shame it was raining in St Quentin. A nice walk around the town , the Basilica looked amazing, gorgeous inside. The afternoon and evening entertainment looks good he he . Glad all went well on your return journey back to the UK, take care x Julie and Tony x
Thank you both. It was a dash for home but we made the very most of the time we had in each place. We can’t wait to do it again 😃🚐💙👍🏻 Trev n Sue
I love travelling with you. Thanks ❤
Thank you, that’s very kind. We enjoy having you along with us. Take care and have a good weekend 👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue
Enjoyed this tour, can't wait until the next one👍
Thank you Mark and Coral. The next big tour is in June when we explore the Hebrides but there’s lots of little outings before that 👍🏻🚐😃 Trev n Sue
Looked a good swift return through France Trev. Some nice stop overs and good Aires.
I think we might take four stops although I suppose it will depend on how we progress and it’s great that you can book on the day for places like Camping Car Park.
St Quentin looks beautiful. That Basillica is stunning.
Hope you guys have a brilliant weekend 👍👍
The great thing about France is that there are so many choices of places to stop. You can take as long as you need and create the ideal journey that suits you. We have always said that nothing is set in stone and if we need to make adjustments along the way that’s fine. We loved Saint Quentin again this time. It was so beautiful in the Basilica although the building outside is not as impressive as some. The inside makes up for it with centuries of history 🙂👍🏻🚐💙 Trev
@@PoshcatsCamping 👍👍
Nice buildings in both towns. The steak looks very yummy
❤️ 👍
We really enjoyed the towns. And the food was amazing everywhere we went. Thanks for watching and leaving comments 👍🏻🚐💙 Trev n Sue
Another good video, enjoyed this, 😊
Thanks so much and for leaving a comment too. Have a lovely weekend 👍🏻🚐💙 Trev n Sue
Enjoyed that trip thanks👏👏
Thank you Graham, we enjoyed it too. Quite a quick visit but plenty of places seen 😃🚐💙 Trev
Mashallah beautiful couple wow so beautiful awesome shayari nice and beautiful video wow so beautiful eclair chocolate 🍫 wow so beautiful country beautiful view great sharing my friend👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷💯💯🇮🇳🇮🇳
Your comments are very kind thank you. We appreciate you watching our videos 👍🏻😃💙 Trev n Sue
@@PoshcatsCamping you are most welcome my friend ❤️❤️❤️🌷🌷🌷🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Ok the food looks amazing. I'll have some of the shrimp and little bit of eclair please 😄Such a charming little town. I love the painted bear. 4 hours free. Is that like our rest areas over here? That's what it kind of looks like. We have some that limit to 4 hours then we gotta get moving. But many are overnight free. Course no electric hookups. Depends on the state. They're all different. Looks like a fun little carnival going on. What a beautiful basilica. Ah so it looks like it's more like those rest type areas that we have a few of that charge. It's almost like a quick stop campground on the main highway/interstate. We don't have a lot of those yet. Wow that is a lot of circling around and lining up and waiting. I noticed you said lpg check. What is the point of that? What a great adventure this was. Can't wait to see what you do next.
Haha…. It’s the law that if you have an eclair you must eat it all, there’s no such thing as a little bit of eclair 😂😂😂 As you know from your tours, you never really know what to expect even when you have something planned, it always seems different 🚐 🙂 The rest areas in France are amazing and easy to find wherever you go. We just can’t wait to do another long tour. It’s just so enjoyable in our little van. Thanks again so much for your support with our videos. It means a lot to us 👍🏻🚐🍺💙 Oh and the LPG gas check is to make sure it is isolated before you enter the long tunnel on the train. 👍🏻 Trev n Sue
@@PoshcatsCamping ah ok. That makes sense on the gas.
Hi guys. Enjoying this trip but you didn't show us the Hôtel-Dieu (Hospices de Beaune). Recognized by its colorful, geometric-patterned tile roof, this 15th-century former hospital is now the Hôtel-Dieu Museum. The roof is amazing. Hope you did see it.
The problem we had was that some of the places were closed and we only had a few hours in Beaune. I know we will go back there again so we will definitely look out for it. Thanks for bringing it to our attention 👍🏻😃💙🚐 Trev n Sue
Hallo Sue, Trev and the dogs. I see that you havn´t posted anything for quite some time..I hope that everyting is OK with you both.
Hi Roger, thank you for your kind words. We have been taking a break from TH-cam and creating videos since we returned from Spain, as we have been busy with family matters and getting jobs done at home. Hopefully we will have some fresh new content in a few days with Smirf and an update of what’s coming this summer 😃 Take care 👍🏻💙 Trev n Sue
@@PoshcatsCamping thanks for your quck answer.
Loved your latest trip. I notice that you drive long hours between stops. I find fours hours driving is enough for me. What would you say your average driving time is.
Looking forward to your next trip.
Long drives are not as easy now we are older. We are of course restricted by the needs of our dogs and we tend to do 2 hours without a break, then take them outside and stretch our legs. Even a 10 or 15 minute break allows us to continue our journey for another couple of hours. In France it’s easy as there’s lots of Aires and they have green space for walking and relaxing 🙂. Take care and thank you for your comments 👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue
Really interesting video.
A couple of questions from a motorhome newby.
1/ when entering france did you have to prove where you were going or staying or for how long.
2/ i flew into Gibraltar in feb and had to jump through hoops to get in to spain. I had to show a return flight, proof of accommodation ect. The spanish actually refused quite a few off our flight entry until they could show proof. So the question is. Getting out of spain obviously you had to have your passport stamped. But to get back in. Did you have to show proof.
Sorry for long questions. My wife and i are hoping to enter spain through Santander and travel around for 6 weeks or so.
Hi, we have used Eurotunnel Le Shuttle several times and never been asked where we are going and for how long when passing through French Passport control. When we entered Gibraltar on foot from Spain, we had our passports stamped and returned the same day. There were no problems at all. We noticed a father and son who lived on Gibraltar arguing with officials about the number of times they had been back and forth. I think they were suspicious of their activities. But we have never experienced any problems 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev
I noticed that you are not using the electric step - I have given up on mine.
Yes, a final bash on a kerb in Bath in December finished it off. We are back to a rather clumsy plastic step but in some ways it’s easier for me to get in and out of the van. 🚐 Shame, but frankly inevitable 🫤🚐👍🏻 Trev
Hi are the dogs in cages when you’re travelling?
Yes, we have a folding crate that goes on the floor of the van near the entrance. Both dogs are able to lay down in the crate and we tend to drive no more than 2 hours without a break for walkies and a drink 😀 We are very lucky, they travel very well and are excited when we start preparing the van to travel 👍🏻🚐💙 Trev
