We are Carol & Ken and we like touring in our Consort Nova motorhome called Snoopy.
This is the eighth episode in our Grand Est region of France camper van adventure! Join us as we leave the fairy-tale town of Colmar and head to the majestic Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle for a history-packed tour. We battle a pesky heater fault, discover the joys of Camping Car Parks, and explore Strasbourg’s stunning cathedral, Petite France canals, and hidden gems. We even park our van for free in the centre of the city.Then it’s off to the serene Lake Gerardmer in the Vosges Mountains for some lakeside relaxation.
Perfect for mature travellers dreaming of relaxed European road trips!
