Our First Adventure in Europe - VAN LIFE IN FRANCE

[@zoll3ttina]

Hello Snow and Curt! I just wanted to give a little reminder that 1kg = 2.2 lbs and 500g is about 1lb. That was a cute little farmer’s market. Thank you for all you do!

[@adriannavanderpoll4745]

Most van life channels only, or mostly, show park-ups and nature walks, I love that you also take us on these slow walks through towns, villages and cities. ❤

[@SnowAndCurt]

More to come! We like to show as much as we can! Happy to have you along for the journey

[@lindao1327]

‘Life Is Too Short ‘Channel are great at showing different places in France. Worth watching. Also, John and Mandy amongst others.

[@sammayet9002]

Awesome, amazing and wonderful ❤❤ enjoy 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@jenh9252]

Such pleasure for us Europeans to watch your sheer are at what we take for granted😊

[@kerrybyers257]

I can tell Snow’s mental calculator is on overdrive making sure you stay within your budget. So many tempting foods. Wait til you hit the Christmas markets….!

[@trickshotters1577]

Love seeing this through your eyes. A little tip. Always greet people with “ bonjour”, The french are very friendly and always greet as they walk into a shop. It is appreciated when we do this as well. So I am told.

[@vickihogan8207]

I can imagine struggling with claustrophobia in that village. Especially if there is no sunshine. But I can envision the villagers of centuries gone by walking through the city. I can understand better how many of the movies we see are dreary and cold. Please stay safe! I'm ready for you to get your van back! I know you are, too! Thanks for taking us places that most of us will never visit in person. Love it!

[@sharoncochran8508]

When thinking about the history of Europe, you realize how young the United States really is. Stunning vlog!

[@SnowAndCurt]

It's crazy history!

[@terizumbusch8408]

That cathedral is stunningly amazing. Not only is it beautiful architecture but it was built with no electricity, No cars and trucks to bring supplies, No home depot to purchase stuff... I can't even imagine how long it took to build that and how many people. It is glorious thank you so much for sharing it with us. And to know that this city managed to make it through. The wars it's also really wonderful because I know so much beautiful history was destroyed. It's gonna be fun to travel with you through europe.❤❤

[@anniepurse2831]

The cemetery you walked by with all the white crosses is the final resting place of many Scots who fought the Germans in World War 1.Drone footage of this area would have been lovely. Cobblestone streets make so much more sense than all that toxic asphalt we use in North America. Hope the weather improves for you soon. France is known for its amazing food so don't be afraid to shop the markets.

[@SnowAndCurt]

I can't wait for a break in the weather to pop up the drone. In due time I am sure 😊

[@kathy-xy1hm]

So amazing . Thank you for taking us with you . looking forward to the trip.

[@sofia_ines]

After a long day at school teaching English to several classes of 8th graders here in Portugal, there's nothing more relaxing than going for a walk with you guys through that beautiful old town "en France"! The narrow streets, the stone walls, the market...both your soothing voices and the lovely music...Thanks for this!❤

[@mimiks3784]

Another great adventure! 🩵🚐I have to tell a quick story I think you’ll get a kick out of it…last week while sitting with my 6 year old grandson on a sick day, we watched some Christmas videos on KZbin…I asked him “hey, do you want to watch my traveler’s?” He said yes and ended up we had to binge watch several videos!! He loved it!! 😅 you’re basically all-age friendly channel! He loved the monkeys and many other things! Cheers guys!

[@queens6583]

I love the old world charm of European cities and like you Snow, I imagine nobles, peasants and foreigners walking on those very cobblestone streets hundreds of years ago.

[@maridougcividanesestrella]

You made your absolutely best decision of traveling around the world. You enjoy nature, cultural differences, geography, history, architecture, and many more. I feel so much identified with your preferences that it is for me like traveling and seeing through your eyes. Thanks for this.

[@suefitz2498]

I totally love this ep! I was taken back to my roaming through those little cities in France. The produce, meat, cheese and seafood is so fresh and so good. Well done n handling those narrow streets ❤❤

[@SnowAndCurt]

So cool!

[@Angela-zc9xv]

Hello Snow and Curt ,gotta congratulate you both on this video in France ,it brought back so many memories for me as our first trip away from UK 1975 was camping / Caravaning in France we live in Spain have done for 21 years retired early due to health issues ,we would have moved to France but the medical care 21 years ago wasn't as good as Spain so here we are very happy to be here but really loved your walk about ,it's so easy to take these places in Europe for granted it's good to see through your eyes the joy of discovering new places ,ideas and the history of it all ,keep on looking ,so much to see and feel ,stay safe I will look in again soon wishing you both well ...Love from España.

[@ChaiLatte13]

Europe's history is really incredible. Every little village seems magical.

[@SnowAndCurt]

It's beautiful!

[@mauricioquitero]

You guys should come to Spain for a warmer experience! It's the perfect time to visit Andaluzia in south Spain with temperatures around 15ºC to 20ºC during the day. You guys should stop in cities like Granada, Córdoba and Sevilla!

[@cgreen186]

I agree, that's what I did. Winter wasn't as nice for travel for me. You will love the break from the cold and either rain or snow. It's worth the break! And your Spanish will be closer to what you can get a hold of sooner. What a beautiful cathedral absolutely gorgeous.

[@kathysowers]

"The market" in French: le marché. LOVE the outdoor markets 😊 Enchanting video!! Thank you!!

[@SnowAndCurt]

What's interesting is between the bits of Spanish and Portuguese we have picked up along the way, we are able to comprehend or at least figure out most of the signs and a fair amount of French words.🍻☮️❤️

[@kathystevens8163]

That Cathedral was gorgeous, it was like a religious experience.. Those stained glass windows were magnificent... Thank you for taking us along..

[@SparkyTuttle]

Thank you for taking us where we may never have the chance to go. I have become a creature of habit and yet, you give me a safe way to see the world. I know you will inspire the young to take a little time wherever they travel. Beauty is not always where tour guides tell you to look. You have proven that... time and time again. Thank You.

[@Bindismom]

Your words resonate with me too. I love seeing the world with Snow and Curt. We are in our 80’s now so our big travel days are over. This travel with them is just perfect. Each adventure is a class AA+ experience.🤗👍👍💖

[@SparkyTuttle]

@@Bindismom , I'm 70. I traveled all over Europe in the '80's. We just had a Rail pass and we rode the trains where we wanted to go. We did avoid France because there was widespread hate towards Americans and we were cautious regarding Iran because they had American hostages . Went to England where my companions had family. We had to wait for available seats on the Freddy Laker air bus. I think about that plane, jam packed like human sardines and I now know, I would never set foot on a plane like that again. Still, somehow we all survived! Thanks to Snow and Curt I have traveled through South America , a place I never thought I wanted to go. Now, I wish I had the strenght and money to go. Beautiful people and colorful country's filled with wildlife . Well, you are not alone on their travels, I'm riding right beside you!

[@doodlebug4022]

You are in my favorite country!!! The food is fantastic, the people are kind and caring and the history is incredible. I can’t wait for you to get your van back, get settled in and enjoy all that Europe has to offer.

[@SnowAndCurt]

Couldn't agree more!

[@susanfoster4303]

Beautiful old town and church I'm looking forward to seeing more ❤

[@meowzic]

Imagine growing up there, how magical it would be to play and wander the streets, such a connection of deep history.

[@suecbrn]

What you experienced is exactly how I felt when we were in the south of France in those ancient villages! We loved the markets- such great looking foods and in some they have some artisan crafts too. The depth of history also blew mind - so amazing! I only had 11 days there. I would loved to have the opportunity you have to be in a van! I’m so excited for you to see all the things and to take us with you!

[@SnowAndCurt]

We are so excited to travel.slow and find some hidden places!

[@debyarger3084]

The stone workers in the USA came from Europe. They certainly have skills. Thank you for the slow walk through the town and telling us all about the history. That's what I love about you two!!! I relate to the four days of rain,we've had that two, and today 12/6 it's snowing! I just want some sunshine!

[@SFNativeGal]

How marvelous. I do remember the delicious chocolate crapes, made right outside my dwelling when I stayed in Paris. The street Vendor was so sweet. I’ll never forget his beautiful smile as I came back to sleep after a days journey. Thank you for sharing so much in such a short video. Can’t wait for more!!

[@pattykittencat]

This was a wonderful trip today! Can’t wait for next video!!!!

[@SIDISTAFFORD]

My wife and I have been following your van adventures for a couple of years now and really excited that you are in Europe. We lived in Belgium for four years and highly recommend you put Brugge Belgium on your city to visit and Monschau Germany just across the Belgium boarder.😊

[@howbigisyourlove]

My mother was born and raised in Ireland and met my dad who was a Canadian navy officer in 1957 .. she came to Canada after a three week courtship and marriage :) she always said that Canada was a baby country in terms of history basically in its infancy .. she was so right about that .. what a wonderful journey so far .. I am really enjoying this new European van series .. it's exciting to see the way they live .. also surprising to see that their food sources are much much healthier than North America... although I could never afford the seafood in France .. the quality of food there tells me how important health is for the French . xo from Canada

[@SnowAndCurt]

Canada and the USA are baby countries for sure!

[@BJ-xs7np]

Thank you for taking us along with you. That cathedral is AMAZING, even from a distance. I am about imagine your jaw dropping when you walked inside that beautiful structure. I really liked those outside markets also, everything looked so healthy and fresh. Kurt, I think you are doing amazing driving that stick shift, and Snow, you are really walking a great amount so I am praying this is strengthening your heart a great deal.

[@OshayrDeZwirek]

I have been anxiously waiting for the next video. Thank you for taking us on your adventures.

[@debrafricano1486]

French countryside is beautiful. Thanks for taking us along.

[@Jana-wz7dr]

What a lovely tour of a beautiful little town. As you said, you wonder when in such an ancient place, what life was like way back when, who all walked the same winding streets. Were they happy? Or was life super difficult? If only the ancient walls could talk.

[@clm3436]

Yes, food quality requirements in Europe is higher than the states. Don't rush from country to country. We did six countries in a month and it was a little too fast for us. You have to see the Netherlands, Haarlem. Also, head over to Eastern Europe when you have to leave the Schengen zone. I hear if you have T-Mobile you don't need to change SIM cards.

[@margietucker1719]

That is true. T Mobile works all over Europe with no problems. No need for other Sim cards.

[@monasantos3346]

I'm so enjoying your UK journey and your kitty cats are a joy too. Thank you

[@pamelarw58]

Senlis (pronounced Son-lees) is the most beautiful Commune so far & the Gothic Cathedral was breathtaking!! Loved this walking tour as this place has 2000 years of history! Merci Snow & Curt for taking us! ❤️🇦🇺🐨

[@JaxonsDd007]

I am in France as well in Ernèe. Glad you all made it..Next two trips my apartment for retirement will be done here. Hope you enjoy your time in France 🇫🇷

[@JaxonsDd007]

😊I have been here six weeks and it has rained almost every day. But spring will be so beautiful..

[@mandystone3005]

O M G what a gorgeous video with the music in the catherdral its just WOW!!!

[@barbaraburke1676]

Thanks for sharing your video contents...what awesome architectures there, beautiful is what I can at least say if not more than that. The food there too looks so good also. Love to visit historic places like that as well, only time will tell if I could make it to any, if not at least one time in a life time to go see and visit such beautiful places, much on my bucket list to do and eventually go to. Blessings to you both and your precious fur babies. Looking forward to more of your video contents on your journey there in Europe, etc 🤗❤️

[@sharonhaas8503]

💝💖💕The cathedral was wonderful. Just the beginning of so many to see? The veggies were outstanding. Are they grown local? The city was amazing. So interesting. Thank you for the tour. Looking forward to your next video. Take care. ❇❇❇ PS 🌧 The rain is coming down in the northwest here in the states. Flooding all around us. Hope your rain stays light. ☔

[@myrnaedmisten599]

You are the most wonderful traveling companions! ❤❤❤

[@celestryalcelestryal6690]

There is a small village right over the border of France and Germany by the name of Hiilst (Germany). This is where my Grandmother was raised with her 8 siblings on the family farm. (Edited to add that this was considered "The Front" during the war and the large cement barriers meant to keep out tanks and trucks can still be seen.) She came to the USA just as WW2 was starting along with her sister. Her parents are buried in a small cemetary near a chapel that is now on part of what used to be their property. Her Father, my Great Grandfather, did not survive the war. As I stood at their graves I could litterally feel my roots through my feet. Oh the stories I heard growing up and they only make me think about the stories never spoken. As you walk through the streets of Europe try to remember those who walked there ahead of you. All of Europe is an amazing place with a history so deep for so many. I love watching you explore it.

[@celestryalcelestryal6690]

When you get to Berlin make sure to make note on the ground where the Berlin wall used to stand. They have the entirity of it clearly marked in the pavement. EVERY village you pass through will have a market in the main square! Look for them before you go shopping. As you get closer to Christmas fresh fish will be in abundance. As much as I loved Paris, you are right about the magic of the small unpopular villages. And that goes for everywhere not just in France.

[@celestryalcelestryal6690]

OH lol one more tip. When you head towards Normandie please, please, do not miss Mont-Saint-Michel. Count on spending a good amount of the day there. It's fabulous!!

[@anniedavis4569]

Love the cathredal and the music was very good also. Thank you both for sharing your adventures lovely town you’re in

[@rozebaum]

Snow, I have to tell you, “I love your hair”!

[@Secular-Serenity]

Oh boy, I’m loving Europe!!!! Thank you for showing us. 💙

[@thetwotravelers546]

The cheese seller and the seafood place was out of this world, as a food lover that place would of been like heaven.

[@SnowAndCurt]

Right?!?! 😁😁😁

[@SpacyMidnight]

You should watch French movies while there💜✨ you can pick up some language too✨🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ THIS is what I would love to see in France as well 😊 thank you for bringing us all along for the ride🇫🇷

[@delynndehardt1859]

I have never wanted to visit France before (except to hear the magnificent pipe organs in those churches and cathedrals). But that town is beautiful. And the market! Expensive, but if you love fresh food, I think it would be worth a splurge or two.

[@pattyfarghaly1821]

That was a great tour. I love the markets. Thank you. Stay safe.

[@barabaraboyer8740]

That church was beautiful. amazing.

[@cheryllundholm8779]

Wow! We are all going through culture shock with you! What you showed us today, is amazing!

[@SnowAndCurt]

Glad you enjoyed it! Culture shock for sure!

[@annabellegettingwell1531]

What a very beautiful start to your touring in Europe! I sure enjoyed this video. Thank you so much I love you! Explanations of everything that you’ve seen him what you doing I would love to have some of that nice fresh seafood!

[@oliviashuii364]

LOVE the European adventures. ❤️ and thank you for filming. My favourite part of your journey

[@mariamcclanahan470]

You both bring such fullness to everything. All the best as you travel with the🐈🐈they look good. Can’t wait to follow along in your journey. Thank you for keeping it real and sharing with us❤

[@SnowAndCurt]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@BrokerBarbara119]

The weather looks so much like SE Michigan this time of year! My daughter's in London this week and she said it's the same there too! Have fun guys, love the adventure...

[@susieq2544]

Magnificent! I had the opportunity many years ago, to travel to Paris with a choir, and to sing a solo in Notre Dame in Paris

[@cindycreateforlife]

I feel chilled to the bone just watching your adventure today, the market was beautiful and the cathedral was stunning! I am anxious for you to get your own van back, be with your stuff and get more comfortable! You two make the best of it for sure!💕🇨🇦

[@SnowAndCurt]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AilsaPehi]

OMG the fresh produce! Just wow.

[@Sunnysa123]

All I can say is wow wow wow amazing beautiful and old. I like it a lot. Thanks for sharing 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤stay save🙏

[@lanaguthrie3055]

Loved the way you used the background music in this! Your videos get better and better! I look forward to Wednesday and Saturday just to see you guys!

[@SnowAndCurt]

Yay! Thank you! We look forward to hearing from you!

[@rq1264]

You guys are great for sharing your experiences…😊

[@grumpyoldlady_rants]

Wow! I can’t imagine walking through such ancient villages. I tend to enjoy visiting places off the beaten path. I’m excited for you as you explore this continent.

[@SnowAndCurt]

Glad you enjoyed it... We are pretty excited

[@pattiwhite9575]

Excellent Video. I just love how far history goes back in the old world. How they build things to last. The U.S. just doesn't not have very many places that have even survived 500 years. You may not have all the wild life over there right now but you have all the history to boggle the minds and eyes. What? No cheese purchase? That would be the first thing to buy and some bread. I think I will make some chicken soup today. Your looked good.

[@MaryPothoven]

This was wonderful! ❤

[@SnowAndCurt]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mariaparker7545]

I could almost here you salivating when you were looking at the fish stall ha ha.. beautifully edited Curt the cathedral with the music behind it gave me goose bumps.. You both still look a bit lost but it is so obvious that you are enjoying yourselves and I'm really happy about that..

[@SnowAndCurt]

We still feel a bit lost.... But we are getting there! It's a whole new world over here!

[@kathyanderson1509]

Such a beautiful area . Stunning building and history. Ty for the afternoon walk 😊

[@SnowAndCurt]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@janegarrison3569]

Everything is so beautiful, even the food trucks and vegetable stands. So very different to South America. I'm loving this new series of videos.

[@SnowAndCurt]

Thank you so much!

[@LilyWasHereMB]

Such an adventure! Snow tossing leaves over her head: spontaneous joy and wonder; This is going to be fun. So glad I found your channel way back when.

[@SnowAndCurt]

Thank you so much! We are excited 😆

[@terizumbusch8408]

We'll say this many times throughout your adventures. But I am so grateful not only for the beautiful videos and the love you have for glorious nature, But thank you also snow for sharing so much about the history of places and pieces of information. I love your posts. They cover so much personal ad slow add where you are at. So be blessed know that God's guiding and directing you, And know that we are joyfully traveling with you❤❤

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

Thank you for the tour of that beautiful town!!

[@Yt-hb4wh]

I love seeing and hearing history!

[@grant7345]

wonderful guys I think that your channel is one of the best on KZbin, in any event it would be great if you could one day visit Romania and tour Dracula's castles for us the the exPAWers are super cool too with their two little doggies un their van

[@ziggy_bandicoot]

The weather looks good on you Snow!!😊

[@sarahoconnell7801]

Loving your videos!!!! My son and his GF just took me to Europe (England, Ireland, Italy and France) for a 2-1/2 week trip for my 70th birthday - I'd only ever been to eastern Canada. It was the most amazing experience of my entire life. We rented cars (with stick shifts) in all 4 countries and my son did the driving on those narrow roads. It was cool weather, but we ate at outdoor cafes almost everywhere. I used the Orange Holiday sim e-card and it worked great. Looking forward to your future adventures.

[@SnowAndCurt]

What an amazing birthday present that was!!!!

[@ScottBryant-wi7gb]

I love rain. And I love cool weather. France seems perfect to me. If you come across WW2 sites I, for one, would love your perspective on those.

[@sunshinensprinkles9322]

I'm so excited to watch the new European adventure. I hope you guys get to go to Germany and browse the markets before Christmas 🎄❤

[@SnowAndCurt]

🎄🎄🎄❄️❄️❄️❄️☃️☃️☃️🎅🎅🎅

[@lorrainemorris1151]

Wow, what an absolutely stunning town!

[@iluvstuff6618]

💕hey guys 🤗 Oh sooooooooo excited for the small villages throughout Europe. You are so right Snow. I too envisioned the donkey carts and medieval dress. Spectacular 😍 Be safe, happy travels and of course much luv 💕💞

[@SnowAndCurt]

Can't wait to share!

[@susantaylor8554]

Beautiful Beautiful

[@LovingAtlanta]

👍🤩💝I loved watching. 🤩💝

[@SnowAndCurt]

Thank you 🤗

[@MelliaBoomBot]

Yep I stumbled across a market the other day here in France, cheese, meat, bread, vegetables..what did I buy? A pair of trousers and a red pepper! This was in a town called Valencay, old but not medieval but it has it's own chateau (castle). Wait til you visit the Loire Valley, chateaux a plenty! Safe travels.

[@sallydacre438]

Great find. France has so many amazing places for you to explore. In fact Europe is so beautiful. I use park4night and stayed in vineyards and farms. Not sure if they're open in the winter! Have fun ❤

[@margoth01684]

Great to see you in the other side of the Pond, I fallow this lady Ame in a van she is in France and she visits all This beautiful little Towns

[@paulcoveney5232]

Just came across your channel. As a Brit who does a lot of European travel in our motorhome it is interesting to see some American takes on Europe. I don't envy you doing Europe in Autumn/Winter!

[@coffeeatdisney8054]

Hi there, I absolutely love the Cathedral, so beautiful and just breath taking! The village is amazing! I’m loving every minute, thank you so much for sharing this with us. I just wish I could be there 😊 Stay safe have fun God Bless ❤

[@SnowAndCurt]

Thank you so much!

[@francesn33]

I am so excited to watch your European tour.

[@lisakeatingyoga]

Wow I love love love the off the beaten track magical spots 😁 so grateful to be taken along ❤❤❤❤

[@SnowAndCurt]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@susieq2544]

In Covington, Kentucky there is a replica of Notre Dame scale being 1/5 the size. Inside there is a mosaic of Christ about 24”x18” with 17,000 pieces.

[@RuthAnnnMorris]

I lived in Naples Italy for a year and went through out the “street markets” and they block whole streets and have everything you can imagine in these markets. We found a “shoe alley” street once and there were so many shoes!! I went with other Navy wives, (I was 19) and clueless! I bought things from like the black market because we got rations of cigarettes, liquor and gasoline and traded them for goods. Those wives taught me a lot! The history where you’re at amazing… can you imagine living back in that time?

[@mirandaash]

It's so fun to see you marvel at places we take for granted. Thanks for helping us see Europe through new eyes. Highly recommend visiting Ypres in belgium for WWI history. The town was destroyed in the war but they rebuilt it using the original plans - it's very moving to visit and equally as moving visiting the surrounding warm cemeteries.

[@SnowAndCurt]

We will... But not now.... We will return in better weather!

[@kittanygames]

France looks so beautiful, would love to visit there someday 🤩

[@marygilogley9955]

Gorgeous! And, g great filming and collaborating it all... Looking at it all again I'm humby grateful 💜

[@SnowAndCurt]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@firstsando]

WOW, the church is beautiful.

[@tamicox990]

So incredibly beautiful- oh how I’d love to see France someday

[@wyomingwips7540]

What an absolutely stunning cathedral, WOW!! Oh the history there, I'm so excited to watch and learn all that there is there. Blessings 💕

[@jodybogdanovich4333]

There is a button on my cassette that I push to help facilitate emptying (something to do with an air lock). Also, once emptied, it's best to add some water, give the cassette a shake, then empty again to rinse. Final step is to add some water and a deodorizing/bacteria-breakdown product (can do this inside by flushing some down your toilet). However, maybe this is not allowed in Europe(?). 🤷‍♀️ I wear disposable gloves while doing this task, and spray the outside of the cassette around the spout and the handle with an antibacterial spray. Now I'll watch the rest of the video. Wishing you safe travels overseas!

[@mperez660]

As you go north you guys should go the city of Honfleur is a fishing village maybe one of the most beautiful city in France

[@sherrywarren-biers3327]

Fabulous place…..love all the history everywhere you look. Thanks so much for taking us to Senlis, France!! 🥰

[@SnowAndCurt]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@tonyahenry5158]

What a beautiful area thank you for taking us all along
