- TRAVELLING TO FRANCE IN A CAMPERVAN... vanlife europe begins! First stop.. vanlife france!
The time has finally come for us to leave the UK and travel to Europe in our self converted campervan! If you have followed us for a while you will know that the decision to travel during a global pandemic has not been an easy one, but with no sign of it letting up just yet, where better to isolate that our own little tiny home on wheels!
After 8 long months converting our panel van into a campervan, and the long wait during lockdown, we are very excited to hit the road and take our tiny house to France.. and then..who knows! This week we find some stunning wild camping park ups in france, and are amazed at how liberal their attitude is to wild camping.
Hit the subscribe button to follow us on our journey as we attempt to make a half decent travel vlog series! If nothing else you know there will be banter!

It's great to see you BOTH so excited (we expect it of Emily, but to see the Grumpy Old Man filled with glee is a real treat!). And I'm really please that this trip is finally happening - you've worked hard, and waited a long time, for this. Really enjoyed your first En France vlog, and I love the idea of twice a week!
Have fun ladies.
OH - and be careful about leaving the back window open when you go off adventuring; there's some b'stards about.
I am always excited Sue but yeah when Old Grumps is you know we are doing something good 😁 I know we only realised when editing, lessons have been learnt and a check list has been made 👍
Loving the music . You two are fantastic bouncing off each other the way you do. Looking forward to all your adventures. Take care Richie.

Great vlog once again, am sitting indoors on the cold, wet and very windy island you left behind, so weather wise about the same, but you are hopefully heading to some sunshine and warmth. Have a wonderful trip, it's great to hear we are going to be treated to 2 a week now, you're better than to tv! Stay safe and have fun.
Thanks Gill, yeah I think we are all getting the bad weather at the moment, fingers crossed it gets better for all of us 😀
Well done must be great to be in France, after all the hard work, hope ye have a great time and enjoy yourselfs.
Hi Thomas, it's amazing to be over here! Thank you 😁👍
Awesome video girls and brilliant 2 vids a wk can't wait
Thanks Gail 😁👍
Woohoo!! And they're off 😃. I always remember the M20 as being a noisy road and that was 20+ years ago when I lived in Kent. It used to be noisy because it was mostly concrete instead of tarmac, I guess nothing has changed in all that time.Enjoy your journey girls, its not like you havent waited long enough for it ✌👍👌
So excited for you both, enjoy your trip 🤗
Thank you 😁😁
Well done with the campervan it is great. Realy enjoy all your videos
Thanks John 😁
I'm really glad you decided to go. We bailed out of France last Wednesday when the weather broke, but you should be okay further south. I can't imagine how excited you must be, there's nowt like a road trip in Europe 😃👍
I (Em) have never been on a road trip not like this anyway so the excitement is real, bring it on 😆😃
Nice to see you bit the bull-it at last and gone for it hope you have a really good experience look forward to seeing plenty of footage of your journey Stay Safe and enjoy

Absolutely brilliant to see you both finally getting away. I know it's been a long road but it's already worth it, we all got the hear Emily saying "got any more" in a French accent 🤣 absolutely priceless.
Hope you have an awesome trip, looking forward to you going twice weekly.

Thanks, your right is really is lovely I can't get over how amazing it is 😍
Try the chocolate eclares they are really nice
Great vlog guys. So pleased for you that you are over in France. It feels like it's been a long time coming. So funny that Emily took a cloth to wipe the barrier before putting the sticker on 😆😆
That's Emily, complete clean freak lol!! Thank you, its great to finally be over here, you're right, it's been a long time coming lol!
Love your excitement about the adventures to come after all the hard work we have all shared with you over all the build videos.....also noting that the subscriber numbers have have really taken off!!!....knew that would happen because you are so genuine and different...you deserve it!!....I am glad that summer dint go with you...very sensible... Super Joanie will be great foster mom!....and love she gave Emily the all important spending money...she will waste it so well...you know that Louise?!.....impressed with Emily's shopping in a foreign language....for French patisseries...the BEST....you look so happy and excited and AJ taking it all in his stride.. Be careful girls but enjoy all of the great places along the great that you are hopefully giving us two vids per week..we need to share the journey here in lousy lockdown Ps...if you get to southern Spain....the sister who was in France now lives there...will tell you more later..a bid tot sue🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Hi Sue, I (Em) am so excited to be here and its not wearing off 😃 AJ is doing super and settling into vanlife really well even with some bad weather. Thanks for your lovely comment, we always want to just be us, it might not be for some people but why be any different than who you are 🙂 Joanie is doing a great Job of looking after Summer and she has settled in well there, she has been to Joanies before and comes over there with us when we was back home so all good on that front. Hope you enjoy the next vlog 😁
So funny these videos and very professionally done xxx
Thanks Gary 😀😁
Fantatic glad you finally got away
So So jelous😉 Take care girls
Ps. looking forward to 2 vlogs a week watching your adventures unfold 👍🏻
Thanks David, hopefully we can keep up with making 2 a week!
Lesbo Deer! I spat out my beer when you said that. So excited for you both as you got across to France. Happy adventuring and hope the weather gets better for you shortly 😃
Thanks matt, we are very excited to be here 😁😁
It was lovely to see the excitement on Em's face at the beginning, and did I also detect a trace of excitement from you, Lou? I'm so glad you decided to go on your adventure. I remember a few weeks ago you weren't sure what to do. You are right, driving here in France is a joy, and no-one bothers about parked up vans, unlike the UK. So, we are being treated to two vlogs a week. That's awesome! The weather up here in the north is terrible at the moment, I hope it improves as you work your way south. xx
Hi deb, yep, that's about as excited as I get lol!! You're right about the weather, was really hoping to spend some time up there but it was worse than the UK lol! We are currently just north of Lyon and trying to decide ardeche or alps, Emily wants to get straight to Spain where it is sunny lol!
@@campervibe I'm with Em. Follow the sun. ua-cam.com/video/u4826n_gMxY/v-deo.html&ab_channel=MonaLisaTwins
Just found this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Have a great time Vanwives (UK version)😊👍
🤣🤣 We don't walk around in next to nothing quite so often tho lol! Thanks for watching 😁👍
Ah im glad to see you both getting away and enjoying yourselves hope you have an amazing time .
Im looking forward to seeing more vids take care and have fun :) xxx
Thanks Steve, we will do our best, I'm (Em) loving it so far 👍
@@campervibe :) :) xx
So pleased for you both, good on ya.
We will be tuning in to follow your advantures ( see what I did there?)
Mark & Sonia.
😂😂 Thanks Mark, hope you enjoy them 😀
Just fell upon your vlog, loving the banter.. just finished my van and plan to do the same. Well done both of you, I'll subscribe & follow. Great tunes and camera work. Have fun.
Hi Joe, welcome to the channel 😁 good lock with your own up comi g trip, we atr having a great time so far 😁
I've subscribed as I thought your both very real showing your anxiety & experience of traveling with crap weather & new terrains coming out of your comfort zones as women travellers hopefully encourage others it can be done. Also I like the authenticity of what you share no bells & whistles /make up fancy outfits etc real real hope you a great time.
Thanks for the Sub 👍, yeah we are just us and thats how we like it, hope you enjoy the next vlog 😀 😊
Great to see you travelling girls, I am also in France we have had some poor weather this week, one night I slept with a hat on
Have a great time, you will enjoy Dijon. Xx
Hi David, yeah the weather is not on our side at the moment but who cares we are here 😀
Love tiny lifers! We may have commented on your videos before but... hi! We are Chris and Marissa Neely, the crew of Sailing Avocet. We are 22 and live on our sailboat, sailing around the world as husband, wife, and cat :) love following fellow travel channels! Stay safe out there
Thanks guys, oh wow must be so nice to cat your cat with you. Happy travelling 😃
No, haven't seen the earlier vlogs - have only just across your channel. Glad you are aware and already ahead of the game. I agree it is so frustrating that no-one can say yet how things will pan out. Good luck with it all and enjoy your travels in the meantime
Thanks kay 😁😁👍
I enjoyed watching, first of more. Safe journeys🖖
Hi Richard, thank you 😁👍
First video I've watched of your, enjoyed it thanks.

Great, I'm so pleased you 3 managed to get away, I'm looking forward to following you all the way. Oh and just ordered a couple of stickers. Have a wonderful time and hopefully this crappy Covid will have eased by the time you return and we'll deffo catch up. X
Thanks Dave, Joanie is sending out our stickers for us while we are away, so I'm sure you will get them sometime this year 🤣🤣 catch up when we are back 😀
camper vibe Fanx have a wonderful time x
Bon voyage! Oh and you're never lost just "temporarily misplaced" as my other half would say
I like that saying, that's me (Em) all the time then 🤣
Whatever Emily bought from the Patisserie looked very nice - food in France is truely an art form!
Totally agree the food is amazing over there 😀
Wow awesome guys, Bless Emilys face that was like me the first time i went too, enjoy your European Adventure, I love France too and the wee villages and shops, was there in 2018 will go again soon. keep safe guys. yipeee two blogs a week.
Thank you. She was extremely excited lol!! 😁😁
@@campervibe Your welcome, sure was, bless her cotton socks. Take care guys.
Have a great trip guys
Thanks, we intend to 😃
loved the music on this vlog
Great vlog 😁 glad you both decided to go, we're all in the same boat so might as well make the most of it. We've not manage to get over to France yet, not had enough holidays, hopefully next year, look forward to following your trip🚙
Thanks, we intend on trying to show you guys all we can. Oh hopefully you will get over here soon, I've (Em) not really travelled around Europe and its really is amazing
@@campervibe Yep I will do and definitely an adventure, 😁
Brill vids . Can’t wait for next one . Keep keeping it real
Thank you 😁😁
Hope you both and your dog have a great adventure
Thanks, AJ is loving it so far
Wooo So Excited for you take care
Thanks Ray, we will 😀
Luv your vlogs guys, enjoy the adventure. France is stunning. Am seriously thinking about a permanent move over there for a more central base to travel from, and property is so cheap. Keep on smiling girls... And enjoy yourselves
Thank you, we can see why you would want to move here 😁
Sitting bored in my lorry, and randomly came across you guys and instantly hooked! Absolutely love it. Have fun stay safe and can't wait to see what you get upto 👍 oh p.s more singing Emily!
Thanks Matt, I think I should sing more often as well. Glad you enjoyed the vlog 😀
@@campervibe think a duet is in order for the next vlog 😊
Oh, I’m so pleased you’ve managed to get away at long last! I shall so look forward to your vlogs and blogs. What was that music you played about 10 minutes in - it sounded like Stevie Nicks?
Also, I hadn’t realised you were on the build team who helped The Ungrateful One - it must have been fun to meet up with some familiar names from the van life world and I bet you worked your socks off.
Safe travels, Girls!
Hi Jane, I'm not sure on the music, my hard drive is so full I have to delete all my files as soon as the edit is done so its difficult to go back and check, not stevie nicks tho, I get all of our music from epidemic sound.
Yes, it was Awsome to catch up with some of those guys, was a great team achievement what happened there that day 😁😁
Thanks for taking us on your journey, stay safe and who needs to speak french anyway 😉
Exactly haha, I am trying and Lou is a very patient teacher!
Wow!! Have fun ladies
Thank you 😁👍
Brilliant Ladies have an amazing time see ya soon
Thanks Martin, we will 😀
Looking forward to sharing your travels. The map footage is helpful. I enjoy seeing/shopping in the smaller cities and looking at the tranquil countryside as the deer walked around. I especially enjoy seeing AJ. Why do you have reflective vests?
Thank you, we too prefer the smaller places. The vests are mandatory in France, they're hidden away now but had them there for the initial crossing, in case we got stopped.
Have a great trip.dont rush back to the uk.!! 👍👍
Thanks John 😁😁
We’re so jealous, we’ve not long got back!
Enjoy 😎
Thanks guys, hope you enjoyed your trip 😁
Yes!!
That's what we want to see, you both in unknown terrain, speaking in foreign languages and lots of adventures hunting for overnight stops!
And the best came in the end, vids twice a week!
Great, subbed in!
:-D
Have fun!
:-D
Thanks, we are looking forward to doing more vids and, I (Em) am trying to learn some of the languages, Lou is a bit better than me, obviously! 🙂
Woo hoo Roadtrip lol. Great to see you are going for it. Not sure which way you are going? But if you get down the south of france, can i recommend argeles sur mere and especially collioure. We usually go the first few weeks of september and the castle and harbour area at night is stunning..... Street artists, musicians, market stalls and the castle all lit up at night. Not sure if it will be the same with all this covid malarky? but it is a beautiful area any way. Have fun, stay safe and Enjoy.....👍👍
Thanks Tim, we are heading south so will have a look, I (Em) do love a castle 😁
I am new to your channel and really like the way you get on. Looking forward to your adventures "upping the game"😂 Take care 💙❤️👍
Thanks and welcome 😁 I know right i don't know who she thinks she is 🤣🤣
Mustard !!!!! Surely you mean "Moutarde". Great vlog guys , looking forward to your adventures , enjoy and stay safe .
Haha yeah your probably right there. Thanks, all is going well 👍
Have a good fun and safe trip.
Thanks 😊
Fabulous ladies amazing. Wow twice a week! I xarnt wait i look forward to seeing the trip unveil. Stay safe lots of love #CVBiggestfan
Thanks, I know Lou sprung that on me that day, I can't wait to see her do 2 vlogs a week either 🤣
Hi we returned on the day you left after 5 weeks travelling through France, Italy, Switzerland and Germany. Not sure what route you are taking but the Verdon Gorge is amazing with fantastic scenic roads, great video
Thanks Nick, we don't know what route yet either 🤦♀️ Thanks for the recommendation 👍
Je ne comprends pas l'anglais mais I LOVE YOU ! Bon voyage dans mon pays !😍😍😍
Merci beaucop 😁😁👍
Good video, looking forward to future vids!
Thanks Jamie 😁👍
Keep safe and have a great time
Thank you 😁👍
Great to hear twice weekly vlogs.👍
At 19 mins,gave the impression you went off with your back window open...the joys of editing 😜
Have a great time and stay safe,stay vigilant.
No we did actually go off with our window open and only noticed when we watched it on the final cut! Lessons have been learnt, I have done us a check list! 👍
camper vibe whenever I’m on a trip,always do a walk around the van when leaving it and coming back to it.
@@votronimatic normally we would, just had to get the dog walked and filming done in a very short break in the rain. We are usually extra careful lol!
