Once we have the means of transport, the big question is... Where are we going? Yes, you'd think that would be a simple question, but it isn't? Between places that are forbidden to van-type vehicles, because regulations are sometimes difficult and, above all, change from place to place, and those that don't accept animals, it's easy to end up in a parking lot or a hidden campsite. And before you know it, there's the hassle, the arguments, the irritation, the bad plans. We saw it again recently, when XXX talked about it in his story. It's hard to find a seaside spot without being illegal.
In short. The destination isn't always obvious, and we've got a few suggestions for you. As you'll come to know us, we like to talk about the less-frequented, wilder places, the ones that offer a change of scenery without going too far. The ones that make us say "wow, it's so beautiful here" even though we've travelled a hundred kilometers. And as we travel the length and breadth of France to unearth our spots, we have a few to share with you.
For example, in Brittany, near the Pointe de Primel and the coast along the customs path.
Also in Normandy, near Saint Valéry en Caux and Veules les Roses, with some magnificent seaside walks and visits to picturesque villages.
There are also wonderful spots in the Pyrenees, in the Alps around Annecy and in the Ardennes.
And for those who want to go further afield, the center of Portugal, which is less well known than the coast, is still a very unspoilt place, surrounded by nature.
