FIRST DAYS OF EUROPE VAN LIFE | Trying TRADITIONAL French Food In Fougères

I love listening to you guys speak and watching you guys eat.

Your universal water connector screws apart the small bit screws out, and the rest of it will fit on

[@Iamspartacus1]

Just about to say😂

[@ethelmini]

@@Iamspartacus1 Probably not. There's supposed to be a standard based around the British system for pipes on steam engines. The likely ones would be 1/2, 3/4 & 1 inch - which is the bore of the pipe, not the diameter of the threads. If it was a hydraulic coupling there'd be more chance it'd comply, but that looked like push valve tap that was missing its sprinkler head. It could at least as likely be a metric thread, especially in France.

[@Iamspartacus1]

@@ethelmini oh forgot, you lads still go by the imperial and not the metric in certain things.

[@soul.life.loving]

@@Iamspartacus1however, some of us girls use metric. I’ll be glad when imperial disappears 🎉

[@marciamacías-v5y]

what a lovely place ,well worth a visit.Especially for the dancing goats .🙂For sure that was a turbine you could hear for generating electricity. In catalunya there are quite a few in all the major rivers, they were used to provide power for the mills built alongside ,and now most of the old mill buildings which have been converted to housing get their power from the rivers.can,t get much greener than that.

[@kittenandgoat]

Be very glad you are there guys - the UK weather forecast for the next week is really bad!

[@ianeglintine882]

Great vlog as usual guys....im just back from southern Portugal weathers nice around 19 degrees also popped to Seville in Spain well worth a visit beautiful city.

[@dax6376]

Really enjoying following you guys on your travels. Interesting to see your reactions to Cornwall, knowing so well myself, glad you liked it so much. Looking forward to following you through France, Spain and Portugal.

[@martinjones2397]

We took our 50 year old Vw camper to Italy in August from the Uk didn’t use a single toll road as she’s happy trundling along at 50-55 and it meant we were able to enjoy the best scenery , towns and villages on the back roads.Looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip.

[@racebanning6390]

The Locals.. 😂🤣Lol, I like this place !😁😋😁So epic, oh the French cuisine. Has to be the Best in the World. Happy Travels🙏🙏🌃🌉💛🧡Sunshine & blessings.

[@BrassLock]

What beautiful views of French building styles at 13:20 where you feature the walls expanding outward to accomodate extra rooms upstairs. I love the toppling building that didnt fall down for hundreds of years at 13:39 😅

loving your travels - France looks beautiful - thanks for letting us join you

[@amedeekingchef6552]

Your lovely voices are back! 🤩

[@hugovandermeer1566]

Quite surprised actually as I'd always thought that you're both vegan. No matter you're lovely people and your travels remind me of my travels in the 1960's. Although a very different world then. I love Ben's music, reminds me of Steve Hillage and also early Robert Wyatt. Marvellous. Thank you.❤️

What a lovely place, and guided tour by our favourite pair! You make everywhere you go magical! Hope you find some warmer weather soon. xx

[@lydiaasscher1203]

You two will have the most fantastic time exploring the peninsula around the Brittany coast. Me and my partner slept in the back of my car all round there and we always think of it as one of the best trips of our lives so far

Looks like a lovely place to visit. I would love to go to Brittany.

[@johandemondt8028]

I love this older buildings. It's of the have a soul. This new buildings of glass and concrete don't have

[@anniemac3075]

@@johandemondt8028 I agree with you 💯, modern buildings are soul-less shiny blocks. Older construction was solid, characterful & interesting with nooks & crannies & attractive stonework.

[@natashab2304]

Those galettes and crepes look so delicious 😋. Lovely episode - thank you 🥰

[@dingnextstop]

I loved seeing the little Goats, hens and cats… I to would be in my element there…😊

[@canalcreations]

lovely stuff. we used to live near fougeres at st mars sur la futaie. we now have a cottage in the woods in LOT (dept 46). if you are heading down there its well worth checking out Rocamadour. A religious pilgrimage city built into the cliffs. safe travels. chris and justine x

[@dutchrosetravel]

A nice place to visit is on the border of Portugal (Algarve region) and Spain (city of Ayamonte), in a town called Vila Real de Santo António (Portugal). It is at the Guadiana river. Next to the marina is a Camping spot. Ayamonte is also nice. And this time of the year the weather is usaually great.

[@arthurpearson3717]

Have a lovely time love watching ❤ happy new year

[@sparsh415]

You two look like your enjoying the Christmas holidays and having a lovely time. It must be lovely knowing you have weeks of fun and adventures ahead of you when most people are battening down the hatches for a few bleak months and the dreaded return to work.

[@philipgallagher3234]

Fougeers is a lovely small town. We visited in 2001 and again in 2017. The lower village close to the castle is lovely.

[@pilpelet100]

What a great place. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Get somewhere nice and warm!

[@dr.chrismort8448]

Safe and happy driving in beautiful France. I love the aires. They are so different and very often you can find one within walking distance from a village or town

[@markduke8878]

Thanks for taking us on your journey. Always makes me look at a map and do a bit of reading about your itinerary. Of course deciding to travel over 2000 km in winter in a van to find some sun and warmth is bonkers! But that’s what makes it fun for the rest of us. Enjoy your adventure.

[@stephennowicki7158]

What a nice video! Thank you. Go to the warmth! 😊

[@petervandevelde-e7n]

Best wishes for the new year. Let 2025 bring a lot of love and music!

[@Angryhippo9117]

Best to use the A roads (also known as N roads … Route Nationales) …. you see so much more of the real France. Motorways are great for long journeys when you need to get somewhere quickly but can be expensive. Recently drove from Geneva in Switzerland to our home in SW France and the toll fees alone were over 90 euros. Fuel was half that price! By the way, lots of cats are feral in France… especially in the countryside. They keep the rodents in check! If you’re travelling back anywhere near Pau or Toulouse you’re very welcome to stay with us in a little village in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Plenty of room for the van and Mountain Views.

[@eon498]

Happy to see you both,enjoy yourselves,,I know you will anyway,,❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊

Hi do my pancakes creps with vinegar and sugar sometimes other thing's I remember once when I was short of ingredients to make desert.had some of my kids friends at ours. I did pancakes with some syrup on with sliced peaches rolled them up and spiked some icing sugar on . delicious.

[@jennymarshall8340]

Love going to places I’ve never been to. Here’s to great adventures!!

[@RobertSchroeder-f9c]

Brazil is a great place to visit during the winter months because their weather is summer like at this time of year. In the meantime have a wonderful time regardless.

[@SallyCurrell]

Fantastic Fougere. What a beautiful place. Love the castles in France. So much history, and so well preserved. Have a great time and enjoy all that lovely food. Happy new year xx

[@Daytona2]

Love the mustard plaster & wooden beams. I guess you've always rushed through Brittany on a mission to find heat and then rushed through to catch a ferry on the way back. I wish all the old mills in the UK had dynamos, to mill electricity.

[@shirleygreaves9650]

It’s a beautiful area but as grey as England. Those crepes looked absolutely delicious! Looking forward to seeing more. Lovely animals.❤️Take care, safe travels and Happy New Year. xxxxx

[@annjarvis9300]

Awww good luck for warmer weather tc love the oldies 😍😍

[@RobertSchroeder-f9c]

When you’ve got a cold you should sleep sitting upright or at least leaning upright so you can breathe easier. I know that it’s a bit of a pain but over a little time you’ll get used to it. Also see if you can get Halls lemon mentholyptus drops and Halls defense drops. The menthollyptus drops are for upper chest congestion and the defense drops are for dry throat and vitamin C. If not try Ricola drops

[@JDESP]

Hey guys! My wife and myself have 2 apartments in Spain. One in the Garrotxa and one in the Costa Brava. You are more than welcome to use either one of them. Maybe we can show you some of the nice areas? Just let us know. All the best!
