Really nice job on the Normandy segment. Did you have any issues or need certain permission to fly the drone over the cemeteries?
En tant que français, je vous remercie pour les belles choses que vous montrez sur mon pays. Soyez le bienvenu !
I really like your blogs but I wish you’d keep still. It’s hard to watch sometimes. You’re doing a great job though, thanks for sharing 😊
I’m a recent new subscriber Robbie and already purchased a few of your guides. Love everything you do and these 4 episodes of your French road trip were absolutely brilliant. I would love to go but certain personal issues are restricting me at the moment to the UK. Keep doing what you’re doing…..it’s simply inspiring 👍
Really enjoyed this inspiring series, thanks Robbie. Can you please point to the admin/practicalities videos/guides of going to France & Europe? (or perhaps post a new vid? 🙂). It's the main aspect that makes us hesitate going, especially taking the dog in the heat… Thanks
So many fantastic places in France, just ordered your French book. For more inspiration ,thanks for sharing
About Cognac's Brandy, there is a cocktail called French connection by the Italians (but I knew it before them). One third of Italian Amaretto and two thirds of VSOP Cognac. Amaretto brings sweetness, a bit of bitter (dolce amaro), softly lowers the alcohol percentage and finally adds notes of almonds to the vanilla aromas of the Cognac. This is like a desert, therefore it's better after dinner, eventually with a vanilla ice cream ball.
Cracking final episode for the France road trip. Definitely buying your book and the others. 😀👍🏻
Another brilliant episode. We visited the painted caves, absolutely stunning. We were told the original caves were being damaged by people breathing and visiting with wet raincoats, etc.
Loved this series of vlogs. Looking forward to receiving my copy of the guide book 😎
Awesome videos. Thankyou ☺️ thoroughly enjoyed them all 😊 karen
Binged all 4 …brilliant. Returned from 2 week tour France/switzerland in our motorhome. French shore of lake Geneva,then Interlaken . Some great park for night sites above the lake..( Thollon-les-Mémises ) .Used our fold up electric bikes. D day beaches on way back and Reims abandoned race circuit. You mentioned the refuse bins. I think in France they don’t have house collections (maybe in city’s)… could be wrong. Anyway fantastic vlogs.
Enjoyed your series on France. Ordered your book on the 18th of July but still not received it. Is there a hold up? Actually received an email asking for feedback on my purchase???
Really good to find your videos for your French trip.
We have a motorhome, so hoping to copy some of your route (size of motorhome dependant!) As some places looked unsuitable.
Thanks for the videos & look out for Tammie Castle on your next trips ( that's her name btw lol)
Looking forward to watching more
Love the blogs Robbie. Your little dog is a star ! The alps are amazing, but I think I have missed out by visiting them on many occasions sometimes at the expense of the rest of France. Viva La France !
For the Cognac , i like the mêlé cassis , it's a cocktail of cognac and crême de cassis
A recomandation for the next time if never did visit it , the region of Auvergne with her volcanos or Le mont du Pilat in Loire.
Ce serait bien de donner les références et les marques de vos matériels vidéo 👍☺️
Couldn't agree with you more France epic for a road trip and camping.
We are currently in France and using your Road Trip France Guide book
It’s been amazing so far
A really great guide
Thanks Robbie 😊
Robbie, great video, I’m probably nit picking, but it’s pronounced – Dor-Doyne.
Sorry 😂
Beautiful scenery. Would be good to know what time of year it is when you visit places. Thank you.
Any easy way to get your guide book in USA?
100% france over uk
Nice video. It brought back some good memories of places we visited. Motorhomes in France give you access to places that you simply don't have in Caravans and B&Bs. The network of Aires is extraordinary (Such as the Mont St Michel parking, which we did in Feb 2019 … the only vehicle there).
Roque Gageac- More like – "Rock Gah-jee-ack" and Chateau "Bay-Nack" (Beynac). We assumed any town ending in "AC" meant that "It's up a bloody steep hill".
We loved the Dordogne (You pronounced that better than 99.999% of Brits) so much that we sold up in the UK and moved here. (Actually just South in the Lot et Garonne … but 1km South of the border).
T as loupe la cote Nord bretonne !! Le cotentin ! La france c est pas une route mais des dizaines.😊
Fab video! I’ve already saved the site you have just used! We are hoping to set off down to France for our maiden voyage at the end of May, so looking forward to learning tips from you guys!
