MOTORHOME TRIP TO FRANCE - STOPPING AT BEAUNE- LAKE ANNECY - CHABLIS

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”

Great video guys, safe travels 🚐

[@brianmetters6416]

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!

[@rollingwithchunky3472]

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!!

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 😍

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

[@rollingwithchunky3472]

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 ??

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.

[@rollingwithchunky3472]

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 👍

[@glyntimmins8929]

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

[@rollingwithchunky3472]

@@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!!! 😊
