We are Carol & Ken and we like touring in our Consort Nova motorhome called Snoopy.
Join us as we continue our campervan adventure through France’s Grand Est region! In this episode, we explore the charming town of Remiremont with its historic abbey and a mysteriously creaky church. We uncover the water scandal in beautiful Vittel, witness a surprising roadside accident, and visit the humble birthplace of France’s legendary heroine, Joan of Arc. From local markets and delicious French food to spa history, it’s a mix of culture, history, and everyday van life moments.
If you’re planning a trip to France or love slow-paced travel vlogs, this is for you! We’re UK-based travellers sharing our motorhome journeys across Europe.
Seen something we use in the van then it's probably in our Amazon shop amazon.co.uk/shop/lifeistooshort
