France Motorhome Ski and Sun Tour Finale

All good things have to end and it's time for this Motorhome Tour to end. Not without a few adventures and experiences along the way though! Before pointing North we check out the beautiful Lac de Monteynard-Avignonet where we are surprised by not one but two huge himalayan bridges that we ride our ebikes over.
Then it really is time to start heading home, we overnight on an aire in the centre of Beaune. (Not so great as we have an attempted break-in) , then Chaumont and finally Damery near Epernay to celebrate our fantastic Motorhome Ski Tour with the Champagne Experience.

Don’t you two ever stop exercising? 😂 I can’t believe the colour of the lake without a blue sky - amazing. Also I can’t believe that Michelle said the Power bank is quieter than Andy. Poor guy usually can’t get a word in 😂 would have loved to go over the suspension bridge on our tandem 😊 well done on ploughing the fields Michelle 👍🏻

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

This one was relaxing...a wind down! 🤣 A Tandem over that bridge would have looked amazing, a viral video for sure! 🚲🚲 😀 Cheers...Andy&Michelle

[@agetyrrell]

Ah what a coincidence. That recipe was handed down through the centuries in our family too! :-) Great vlog.

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

Ha Ha 😀 its a great recipe, perfect every time!! Cheers...Andy&Michelle

[@AdventureswithAmandaandMark]

Another fab vlog and what a great end to your holiday. What a fab place to stay - reservoir looked amazing, such a stunning colour 🤩 A great looking cycle and you were so brave to go over those bridges not just once but how many times?!?! Very scary to think that someone tried to break in whilst you were sleeping 😱 that’s one of our big worries!

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the series 😀 I make it 6 bridge crossings in total, we loved riding across them especially as it was very quiet. Yes, not good about the attempted break in, its always a worry but won't let it stop us doing what we want to do. Cheers...Andy&Michelle

[@chrisbaker2558]

Brilliant trip... just come back from Epernay.. it is beautiful and so much to see.. ski trip in the mo ho needs to be done..

[@simonlees7031]

Hi to you both, now I live in france and this lake and bridge look fantastic, now it is on one of the places to visit when we get a campervan,but at the moment if you can't get to these places in a 40ft artic as that is what I am driving as a job then it on the list to visit, thanks guys, and happy new year

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

Hi, lots of parking there but a 40ft Hmmn, yes best waiting for when you get a camper! 😀cheers…Andy&Michelle

[@prou5]

Now I am really envious of your trip, a cold bottle of Grimbergan, all to yourself 🤤🤤

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

Got to love the Grimbergan Pete - especially when its a large ice cold bottle in the sun - not helping am I!! cheers 🍻 Andy&Michelle

[@lyndseymcconnell7157]

❤️❤️❤️ this vlog! What a superb end to your ski trip. Loved the bridge cycling - right up my street!! Glad you got your glass of fizz Michelle! 🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

Yes can't beat a bit of bridge cycling, this one was perfect for it 🚲😀 couldn't go to the champagne region without sampling the local goods!! 😀🥂🍾 Cheers...Andy&Michelle

[@colettebyrne]

Very enjoyable, really enjoyed following you on your trip. Pity someone tried to interfere with your motorhome, good they didn't do any serious damage. Your Vlog was well filmed and edited, well done and thanks for sharing.

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

Thanks Colette, its great to hear that you enjoyed following our trip 😊 already editing the next one 😀👍 , yes we were very lucky there wasn't any real damage and that we didn't realise at the time so we could continue enjoying our time away, Cheers...Andy&Michelle

[@ttxela]

That was a treat for Monday evening. I've enjoyed following this series 👍

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

Thanks Alex, a very diverse few weeks for us on this one, was good to mix it up a bit 😀 cheers…Andy&Michelle

[@Professionalmoochers]

That ecoflow is a bit of a beast! What a great end to your trip 🤩

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

Glad you liked the trip 😀👍 Yes.. the EcoFlow has given us a whole load of new freedom 🔋🔋🔋 😀 cheers...Andy&Michelle

Superb as always, really getting me in the mood for our French trip in just over a weeks time 👍

Superb season finale, thoroughly enjoyed 🤩

Thanks Lammypie, glad you enjoyed it😀👍 cheers…Andy&Michelle

[@TheBabblingBrookes]

Absolutely stunning, such a fantastic finale to your holiday 😍 Can’t believe that someone attempted to break in…we have been looking at cctv, think this is even more reason to get it. Thankfully they didn’t get in

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

Thank you 😍 it was definitely a holiday of two halves ☃️🏝 A lesson learnt was don't cover the alarm light with a sock because its flashing and keeping us awake! Cheers...Andy&Michelle

@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures OMG you never did….don’t know whether to laugh or cry 🤣😂🤣

[@andrea0307]

Amazing footage, feel like I’ve had a bit of a holiday now! 😂 Your bikes look brilliant, what brand are they? Anyway great job filming, looked such an awesome area! Thanks for taking us on your journey! 🙏

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

Thanks Andrea, great to year you enjoyed our trip😀 the bikes are Giant Dirt ePro+ they are a 2018 model. Cheers...Andy&Michelle

[@andrea0307]

@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures Thanks for confirming the bike brand, really helpful! 🙏

[@russelltownsend9981]

Love your videos. The French seem to call Grimbergen "Le Grim" - ha ha. The Hospices de Beaune look great from the outside, but if you didn't get to see inside then you didn't miss anything spectacular. We spent most of the ski season in La Plagne and then we wanted to travel around Italy in our motorhome, but the 90 day rule in the EU has stopped us: QUESTION: Have you been effected by the 90 day EU rule?

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

Le Grim...I know what to ask for now when I'm next in a French bar! 😀 Good to hear we didn't miss anything spectacular inside the Hospices👍 The 90 day rule hasn't affected us yet but it is going to get in the way next year when we want to spend more time away, the Ski followed by Italy for some sun is something we definitely want to be doing 😀 Cheers...Andy&Michelle

[@anneshirley1748]

OMG!! My vertigo just did a gamble when you crossed those bridges! The crazy twosome finish the series on a high note literally! Beautiful weather & scenery to die for, I would like to tour round France one day! God knows when that will be! What a series!! First comment on them but watched most, mum not well but I'm gonna have a marathon ( no, not the sort you mean Andy!!) Watching loads of your vids back to back!! I'll be in Scotland from next Thursday, Outet Hebrides to be precise! Cannot wait!! Shall post pics while there! So Wales is next then?! Look forward to it! Take care both! Hugs xxx

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

Sorry Anne, no vertigo warning on this one 🤣 The Outer Hebrides is definitely on our list, we'll look forward to the pics. Will you be seeing a certain friend of ours? Started editing the Wales Tour, there's a ton of great stuff to share😀 I'm all confused about the marathon - the snickers - the running and theres another meaning which I can't even write here!! Cheers xxx

[@anneshirley1748]

@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures Not Andrew, he'd have a fit if I turned up! No, do you know Cathy on Twitter? She lives in Lewis, she invited me up there, Richard too but he can't have the time off work! Only sight seeing in Lewis plus we're going to the Hebcelt festival on 3 days! Andrew is off on his travels again on the mainland so he won't be there anyway xxx

[@jaredb9281]

I can't believe you have the exact 'generator' I've been looking at getting. I think I remember you reviewing a Bluetti a while back, but the reviews and prices etc that I've seen led me to ecoflow. Now I can show my wife that our fave mororhomers are using it, and that might finally convince her! 😁 Did you consider the slightly larger model? And do you have solar? Thanks for the video 👍🏻😃 Our 3 week tour in central Europe from Finland starts this Saturday. Woop woop!

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

Hi Jared...Yes we reviewed the Bluetti which was very good but couldn't charge our eBikes, the Ecoflow mini is right for us as we don't have extended periods off grid and will charge from hook up every few days, we have solar also but that would probably take about a day to charge up and as you know we don't sit around! - A message for your wife - They are really great bits of kit, yes a little expensive but think of all the money you will save having more time off grid, and you can have the luxuries from the power bank!! A 3 week tour in central Europe sounds bliss! Cheers...Andy&Michelle

[@Allmighty954]

When are we getting the welsh tour just that I live on Anglesey and seen that you stayed there looking forward to watching it please let us know .ps love the Chanel.simon

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

Hi Simon, great to hear you love the channel 😊 we will be realising the first one from Wales in a couple of days, Anglesey starts from video 3 so it'll probably be early August, Cheers...Andy&Michelle

[@Sarahandlee]

Hi guys great finale vlog, we really enjoyed this one. The scenery was beautiful not sure I could have walked over the bridge too high for me 🤦🏻‍♀️Can I ask how you find your Aires please? We are due to go to Spain in September (if Sofia ever gets fixed) so not sure if it’s the same? Thanks Sarah

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it 😀👍 there were a couple of people looking at the bridge and couldn't get across through the fear, imagine their faces when we turned up and rode across without hesitating on ebikes at about 20mph!! 🤣 We find most of our Aires using the Search4Sites App. Cheers...Andy&Michelle

[@Sarahandlee]

@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures bet their faces were a picture 😂 ah ok brill thanks will have a look 😊 take care Sarah

[@FancyMcDancy]

I, and perhaps others, would be interested to know what you carry when you go off on your e-bike rides. I have a Riese and Muller Superdelite which, using panniers, I tend to overload with stuff - "just in case" - when I go on a long ride (40 miles plus). You seem to travel very light. So, what essentials do you carry, particularly with regard to possible breakdown / puncture needs?

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

I've just had a read of the Riese and Muller Superdelite bike - that's a really proper bit of kit! re what we carry, yes we are conscious on our long remote rides that we need to be prepared for the worst. We run tubeless, have a spare inner in my rucksack, have inner tube repair patches, a co2 tyre inflator with 2 canisters, a multi tool and a spare link chain. (we had a chain snap a few weeks ago and we we back on the road within a few minutes) I've had a tyre blowout before because I was running too much pressure in Spain, I did start carrying a spare tyre but have since dropped that idea. All together the kit carried is very small and light except the spare inner.

[@FancyMcDancy]

@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures Thanks for this, particularly your appreciation of my bike, Fridgard. Perhaps I don't carry too much kit after all, compared to your set up. My only additions are a spare tyre (I use inner tubes with Tannus Armour inserts) and a set of Allen keys / Torx wrenches. By the way, I'm not much of a gusher so I don't think I have previously said how much I enjoy your films. Well I do. They are quite special.

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

Thanks, appreciate that. I'd really recommend carrying the spare chain link, (and chain splitter - which I forgot to mention) they are so small and can get you out of a sticky situation. Cheers

[@FancyMcDancy]

@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures Well, I would carry a chain link if I didn’t have a belt drive!

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

@@FancyMcDancy ah.. yes. That does remove the need!! The more I learn about your bike the more impressive it is

[@marplemansadventures5618]

Love your videos but makes my life look very dull😮😂

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

Great to hear you are enjoying our videos 😀 we do try to get out and about at every opportunity but trust us, there are dull moments in our lives to! 🤣 cheers…Andy&Michelle

[@snoman1999]

Awesome series guys.. The last 2 videos have given us some cool places to check out ourselves locally (around Grenoble) Really unusual to get yr camper interfered with in France, but usually seems to be when in larger towns/cities or on motorway service areas 😤 🚐💨❤️ 🇫🇷

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

Thanks Ian - glad you enjoyed it and even more happy to give you some places to check out around Grenoble, we were only paying a quick visit as we headed home. We would have liked to explore more - next time 😀 Good to hear it's unusual to have a camper interfered with, it felt safe being with so many other campers but it was right in the centre of the town so will be more vigilant in that situation next time. Cheers...Andy&Michelle
