    Hi Richard and Jackie love you videos. Do you do a video on how you go about planning we are new to motorhome/ camping and would find this video a great resource. Thanks.

      Thank you for watching the channel 😊 we are in the stages of planning our summer trip to the Italian Dolomites, Slovenia and Croatia in the van that we will probably share some of the planning process for. For us a big consideration is Schengen days for the first time due to our ski trips. Happy travels in your new motorhome 🚐

    Hi Richard and Jackie, I really loved the way this video was put together. The chats and explanations in between gave it a nice flow and interest. The tips, advice and book suggestions all seem to wrap it up in a nugget sort of way. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Xx

      @earlyretirementwanderlust  9 місяців тому +1

      Thanks so much! The Martin Dorey books are great as he suggests different multi day routes you can take with lots of little hidden gems along the way! We also use the Scotland one a lot.

    We are off to Brittany in September for the first time, so found the information really helpful. Thank you.

    • @earlyretirementwanderlust
      @earlyretirementwanderlust  9 місяців тому +1

      Glad it was helpful and hope you have a great time, Brittany is beautiful with some amazing towns to explore. Dinan was the highlight for me - although it was busy at the end of June.

    Ile de Re, your footage brought back so many happy memories! I holidayed on Noirmoutier about 30 years ago. The Atlantic coast is amazing

    • @earlyretirementwanderlust
      @earlyretirementwanderlust  9 місяців тому

      The islands are just wonderful with a different pace of life. Noirmoutier was a revelation and somewhere we will definitely return to. Happy summer travels 🚐

    Great content and a well produced video with stable camera work, thanks!
    I visited Noirmoutier ages ago in my early teens, and still remember the oak forests, sand dunes and the mimosas flowering everywhere. The flat roof construction of many of the buildings was also striking.
    Dinan is a real gem! We are caravaners, and stayed at Camping La Hallerais in Taden. This is located on the banks of the river Rance, and you can walk along the paved riverside path to the outskirts of Dinan in around 30 minutes. Dinan is best visited in one of the shoulder seasons because it is so popular, and deservedly so.
    Yes, Martin Dorey's Slow Road France is fantastically useful, even if you are a caravaner, for the location descriptions. Martin always writes well, but he has in depth knowledge of the French Atlantic Coast, and this shines through in his writing.

    • @earlyretirementwanderlust

      We love his books and also use the Scotland book regularly when travelling up there. Noirmoutier was such a hidden gem that we felt privileged to discover. We loved cycling around the island as you get to see so much more than when driving and I was totally fascinated by the graffiti art work. There is still so much of France for us to discover as we have never explored the central regions like the Dordogne and Provence.

    We’ve been going to Lacanau-Ocean for over 20 years. Le Tedey campsite is the best.

    • @earlyretirementwanderlust
      @earlyretirementwanderlust  9 місяців тому

      I have just had a look at the region, it looks gorgeous. It was the one area we missed as we were keen to get to the islands but will return to - we also want to return to Arcachon and the Dune Du Pilat. Thanks for the recommendation 🚐

    Loved the video guys. We’re heading to the Picos de Europa in September and travelling through France. Will definitely look at some of the locations you have suggested in the South around Biarritz area. We also loved the Ile de Ré so maybe next time we’ll try Ile D’Oleron. Thanks for sharing and keep safe. Irvine & Karen.

    • @earlyretirementwanderlust
      @earlyretirementwanderlust  9 місяців тому +1

      Cheers. The Picos de Europa were the great discovery of the trip for us as we didn't even know they existed until a few days before we left the UK. Someone we met on a campsite suggested we visit and I am so glad we did! The Ile D'Oleron was great as it was not as busy. Happy travels x

    Some great recommendations. The Mediterranean coast is similar all year round. Just go inland a bit and you'll find some great places to wildcamp or aires/áreas.
    Love the Ile de Ré, Concarneau and Dinan.😊

    • @earlyretirementwanderlust
      @earlyretirementwanderlust  9 місяців тому

      Thank you - we have not yet visited the Mediterranean so looking forward to all the new places to explore at some point 🚐

    Lovely "un-sensationalistic" video to enjoy with my morning coffee.
    We too loved noumitier, and yes, we did by the salt😂
    Just a very small point For your next video can you state the month at the beginning of the video.
    Happy travels

      Thank you 😊 we travelled in June so just outside of high season. Noirmoutier was such a great island to discover - one we want to return to 🚐🚲
