Where is everyone looks like the Marie Celeste of camping!

Oh my god, move the car out the way!! 😂 I kept wincing every time that pole brushed past the paintwork!

Have you an update on your Starlink use? Is it working out well? If you get partial obstruction, how does it perform? Have you explored temporary mount options for the roof?

I looked into upgrading the payload on my Swift Sprite Major 4SB. I found out that I could only upgrade with an additional 38kg for £65…it’s a lot of money for so little additional weight. I’ve also since learnt, that had I had a Coachman Caravan, I would not be able upgrade if bought one as a second owner. You can only upgrade the payload on a Coachman from new…how weird is that?

Not bad , but not your finest vlog, next you will be shopping in Lidl and showing us your basket 😂😂

Great first and last minute ➡️ ➡️scrub 🤣

Il pleut (eel pleugh) it’s raining, from my school French. We went to Villandry years ago when our kids were young and got soaked too. It was so long ago we were wearing shell suits! They did dry quickly. It was one of our favourites along with Chenonceau because of its history. Loved the vlog.

Hi Graham 👋. Really enjoyed thatl vlog. It's great to see & enjoy the places you go to so thanks for sharing. Regards, Mo 😊👍.

We loved Villandry when visited many years ago. We especially loved Nuit des mille feux where they have thousands of candles in the gardens at night.

The lavender plant that isn't lavender is called russian sage. Now you have two plant names in your repertoire 😅

We have stayed here before this video allowed us to to see our old pitch. I remember we liked the bar and we should have stayed more than one night

Hi Graham, I believe it is pronounced 'Vee-yan-drie'! Whatever, it's well worth a visit.

We did the “valley” donkeys years ago, great to see that the prices haven’t gone up much unlike rip off Britain. 6 of us went to Edinburgh castle years ago, I said to the guy at the desk that I didn’t want to buy it.

Which sun canopy do you have Graham?

We caught five guys (travellers) trying to nick one from a local storage facility. They had towed it across a field and hit a mound and were struggling to move it over it. Got out and confronted them and was met with a barrage of abuse. Called the police thankfully they were nearby and were there in under a minute. They fled. 2 were arrested immediately. Caravan was returned albeit slightly damaged

A bargain. Your are right about NT

While it looks like a good site, there doesn't appear to be any other humans.everthing is shut?? Was that shot a 5am maybe?

Any of those sites have access to the river to launch small boats / kayaks etc. nice video BTW.

Great insight into awnings think I now know what I'm looking for cheers

You want a bigger pitch, because you have 2 extra wheels on your caravan, well I want a bigger pitch, because I have a couple of extra lbs on my arse 😂

The sites and town looks empty?

Site needs a tidy up and a lick of paint I think.

Watched a few of these now, the geezer is always so negative a proper miserable bugger. Much like myself, keep up the good work, love it 😂

We really like Isle Vert. Easy access to the village and a great river frontage. Stayed several times and there again in 3 weeks as we journey to Provence via the Dordogne and Camargue.

Thanks Graham, lots of info xx

Is there a way of diverting more of your usage to solar. Always conscious we all have solar panels and they seem to act solely as a way of keeping the battery charged for the alarm or tracker and not much else.

Nice vlog Graham. Great to be shown a flavour of foreign travel. Thanks for your efforts. Regards, Mo 😊 👍

In my humble experience you should never trust reviews. Oh and Graham is very good although he has a very strange torque wrench fetish ••• 😂😂😂

'The Aire just there' your wife is a poet but doesn't know it!

The French don’t like twin axles because the gypos use them & they don’t want the gypos.

So we won't have a problem with our 8.2m long single axle then?

It's funny as we are going literally 7.7K down the road to where you were. We are at Domain de la breche. I once went with twin was told to find Pitch. Said it was too tight and hard. They came outside and then said not allowed a twin. I then I moved to other side of site. There was a massive 9m long van next to us. So was alright. I was stressed as had to go around Paris and the sat nav took us near charle de gaulle then the road we were meant to take was shut but wasn't on sat nav. Three kids and a big twin it was a bit stressful. Just drove south until sat nav finally realised we could go back to main road.

The French sites don’t like twin axles cos they think you might be part of the Irish caravan club 😮

👍have a safe journey.

Fully agree regarding sat nav’s when towing. We now research our routes in advance keeping to main roads wherever possible even if it isn’t the most direct option and use a large scale road atlas with little stickers to help keep us on track. Keep up the good work.

Are you related to Alfred Hitchcock? Very Psycho with the music😧

Great job mate. I bet the Germans occupied that place during the war. God knows what went on inside.

Like an episode of Most Haunted! You are the new Derek Acorah

Cheers Graham & Mandy, that was a great vlog. What an impressively complex building! Oh, and.... "l fart in your general direction!" 😂. Regards, Mo 😊👍.

I take it you know that MP sketch was filmed in Scotland.

Good job the National Trust doesn’t own it or it would be £30+ per person! Kept on waiting for the knights of neeep to jump out in the caves 😂😂 well done Mandy for navigating those caves😊 you’re a brave lady

😂😂😂 CaravanVlogger in search of the Holy Grail ... Arrrh you English ..... 😂😂😂 NICE ❤

We are on the ill de re in a caravan on the Amis de la plage Sandaya site,& there are plenty of caravans. Beautiful site right next to the beach.

Loved the motorway aires in france apart from odd ones. Stopped overnight in four and would do same again. No comparison to UK services.

See yer later 😁👍

Been here many times in the past and always found the people lovely. The town and Abbey are famous and worth a look. Locally there’s a town called Brionne which has a Sunday morning market which is fabulous. I bought real home made black pudding made with proper blood and not powdered “stuff” as well as 25 scallops for £17 and home smoked bacon. Stunning feast for £25 for two. The quality was way above anything you’d ever expect from a shop. Brilliant. 👍🏻

🪰 😂

you should of made the surface wet with the reproofer then wipe after. it looked like you only misted it.

Looks like a lovely site, thanks for showing us around. I loved seeing the concrete ping pong table, reminds me of family hols as a kid! Looking forward to the next installment, we love the Loire Valley area, although haven't visited for about 20 years. Safe journey, cheers 👍

Think ill grow a beard
