We are Carol & Ken & we like touring in our in our Consort Nova motorhome called Snoopy.

Join us on a charming day trip in Brittany, France! 🌞 In this senior travel vlog, we explore the stunning Fougères Castle (built in the 12th century!), marvel at ancient waterwheels powered by nature, and indulge in delicious local treats like crepes and a bowl of cider. From ploughed fields to narrow castle stairs, we share the highlights of our relaxed van adventure—perfect for retirees or anyone craving a slow-paced getaway. 🇫🇷🍽️
