MOTORHOME TRIP TO FRANCE - STOPPING AT BEAUNE- LAKE ANNECY - CHABLIS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 вер 2024
- We took our first Motorhome adventure into France, only had about 9 days so just wanted to explore a few different places.
The main stop for us was Lake ANNECY which was stunning, it’s said the lake is one of the clearest in Europe the video didn’t do it justice the water was so blue it looked amazing!
On the way down we had a quick stop at BEAUNE a beautiful town in the centre of Burgundy, which is one of the many wine regions in France. We were surrounded by vineyards and countryside.
On the way home we had had another stop in the small town of Chablis (one of our favourite wines).
For our first trip into France it was amazing how much easier it is to travel around in a Motorhome, it’s like Motorhomes are actually welcome!! If you haven’t taken your Van / Motorhome into France and feel nervous, all we can say is “you won’t regret it”
Brilliant and emotionally positive for us! Your highlights of Beaune and Chablis recreate such memories for us, the markets, the wines, Pommard and dear old Bar 66 in Beaune. Your best video yet with the camera work, the music and the general editing. Superb! I need to blog this!
Yeah really was great to go back to special known places, there was such a pull to visit these wine towns for our first Motorhome adventure in France. But also to try somewhere new too, the perfect blend! Glad you enjoyed it!!
Absolutely agree with every word of this 👍👍

Hey guys, such a fab video, we loved it 😍 Your filming was great and the drone footage was on point! Absolutely loved Annecy and your pitch right on the lake was just amazing and definitely one we’d love to stay at - cycling around the lake is high up on my list of things for us to do. Loved the table cloth and your tapas meal looked great - like I said he would, Mark was jealous of your stop at Chablis so another place added to our list. Thank you for sharing such a fabulous trip 😍
Thanks for the support guys, really appreciate your comments
Always give us a shout if your heading into theses areas and have any questions will be happy to help !!! Hope you have a drone on your Xmas list 😊

Thanks for watching 😊 you must be excited it’s an amazing place!! Don’t forget your bike lock 😂
Great video guys, safe travels 🚐
Superb editing and music choice throughout...loved this 😍Annecy is just absolutely beautiful, both the lake and the town...and what a great pitch you had there....perfect spot to launch a SUP 👍
Definitely look forward to starting our trip in a few weeks as we have never done France 👍
Thank you! Yes Annecy was just stunning, never imagined we would get such an amazing pitch, it totally made our time there. Couldn’t get enough of sitting looking out over the lake. Didn’t even think beforehand to pack the SUP! Enjoy your France trip, where are you heading? so much to see and very easy to get around with truly great sites. 👍🏽👍🏽

Evening guys, thanks for watching 😊 hope your both well ?? Have you managed to get out much yourselves?? When we go past your place we always look to see if Ruby is on the drive 😂
We’ve made it to Scotland for the golf, down the north east coast and Sherwood Forest. We ended the trip by staying at Moreton site after watching your video. Had our first wild camp in Wye Valley last week so the Roobster has been on the road! Pop in if you’re about over Xmas!

Just stumbled onto your channel and it’s getting me excited about my annual 4 week December French Motorhome trip 👍
Thanks for watching…4 weeks sounds amazing !!! do you have a planned route or are you taking it day by day ???
@@rollingwithchunky3472
I really now don’t plan to much at all and that’s the beauty of using Aires it gives you that flexibility and freedom. I always end up down at the Pyrenees and occasionally as far as Valencia for a 🥘 Paella but the majority of time searching out new villages and towns in France and December is a great time to go.
@@daverman68 so jealous.. do you have an instagram account?? Love to follow your adventures 😊
@@rollingwithchunky3472
I will fire it back up for this trip as never used it much @thedaverman I will make sure I use it for this trip 👍

Annecy looks amazing. What is the name of the campsite you stayed at please
Annecy is a beautiful place well worth the visit!! The camp site was ..camping le lac bleu, we got so luck to get on the water front! Thanks for watching!
Hey guys do you have a link to the site by the Lake by any chance? Great video
Will see if I can find it! Will send it over 👍🏻
Thanks for watching 😁

Thanks guys! Much appreciated. Picking up our first motorhome in a couple of weeks and making lists of all the places we won’t to visit.
@@garybarton8261 that’s so exciting🤩 will you be setting up an instagram account for your adventures???
@@rollingwithchunky3472 probably not. There’s way to many professional outfits like yourselves doing a great job 😁
Hi 👋 enjoyed your vlog can you tell us what the campsite was called the last one you stayed at before coming back to Uk.
Thanks for watching really appreciate your support, the last site was Camping Du Vivier aux Carpes we booked it through caravan and motorhome club!

Hi. Great video! What did you do for internet/sim cards?
Thanks for watching! We have motorhome wifi installed (the company is called motorhome wifi) and we purchased a French sim from a tabac then it’s easy to just top up when you need👍🏻
@@rollingwithchunky3472 ok. Does that cover your calls in France too?
@@illtudjames not to sure the sim was just wifi for our router in the motorhome
@@rollingwithchunky3472 ok. I’m off to France in my camper for 3 weeks at the end of this month. Trying to work out how to make calls cheap/free when I’m there e.g. phoning to book a campsite
@@illtudjames it’s a tricky one either getting a sim in France or maybe checking if you can add roaming if you have a mobile contract. 3 weeks sounds very exciting have you planned your route or just seeing where you end up ?
Hi just watched your video of your trip to Annecy. Can I ask you did you take toll roads all the way down. What the cost if you did and what route did you take going this year fabulous video will be our first time in Europe in Motorhome. Thank you Kerry
Hi thanks for watching,
We took the toll roads, they are much quicker if you want to get south and don’t have much time! We went from the Calais to Beaune had a stopover there then on to Annecy for 4 nights! Not sure on the cost of the tolls think it’s over £100 one way! we just went for it 😳 how long you thinking of going for ??
@@rollingwithchunky3472 hopefully 2 3 weeks never driven a Motorhome abroad first time for me.
@@kerrytucker8329 France is so much better equipped and accepting of motorhomes it puts us to shame! You’ll love it 😍 do you have an instagram account so we can follow your adventures!! 😁
@@rollingwithchunky3472 no not yet I’m not the best on computer’s. I’m hoping to travel down to Annecy take my time with 1 maybe 2 stop overs get to Annecy for a week then travel around the dordogne for a bit then I don’t really know but I’ll keep you in touch

Hi guys, just stumbled across your vlog/channel. Really enjoyed it. We hope to take ours to France for first time in April or may. May I ask some questions please? What was your itinerary and how long did you stay in each place. How far from tunnel to Annecy. Did you just “wing it” on your stopovers or did you book. Hoping to catch up with your other vlogs in due course. Thanks for sharing. Glyn.
Hi Glyn, thanks so much for watching really appreciate the support! We booked all sites before hand the main location for us was Annecy, which is about 8-9hours from the tunnel.
We decided To take 2 night in BEAUNE on the way down to brake up the journey we love our wine so was a good place for us, then we had 4 nights in Annecy. On the way home to brake up the journey we did one night in Chablis (again for the wine) then to get closer to the tunnel we stopped one night just outside Saint Quentin so we left ourselves only an 1h30mins to the tunnel so we could get to the tunnel and home in one go. Hope this helps for your plans!! Let us know if you have any other questions 👍
Thanks so much. We are already UK MH club members. Would you recommend the ACIS card, or any others? Are they geared up for cycle hire in France? We may eventually get a cycle carrier for our van, but for our first trip we may just hire them. We will be away for 2 weeks so it would seem that the Annecy trip is well within reach. Best wishes. Glyn
@@glyntimmins8929 we haven’t gone down the route of the ACIS card. At this point we just worked out where we roughly wanted to stay then just used google maps and used the search for sites app around the area we wanted to stay.
Annecy had quite a few hire places but the campsite was at the opposite end to the town apparently buses were quite easy to sort, yet we didn’t actually do that ourselves!!! 😊

Super video! Were there a lot of mozzies at your waterfront Annecy pitch?
Hi Alan, thanks for watching really appreciate it 😊 didn’t even think of mozzies! It was fine such an Amazing pitch but only a few water front ones! We got so lucky the rest of the site was ok but being on the edge of the water it made for such a lovely experience!!!!
@@rollingwithchunky3472 Thank you. We like the way you roll! :) We are planning on an Annecy & Le Bourg-d'Oisans twin centred trip in June in our recently acquired VW California.
@@alanbenham4139 thanks 😊 it’s well worth the visit the water is so blue and clear.. stunning! Do you guys have an instagram account would love to see your new camper 🤩
@@rollingwithchunky3472 No not at the moment, but I've pinged you an email with some pics.
