Hi Trev and Sue, so pleased Joe and Sheila got their motorhome sorted for your trip🎉. Nice campsite after you got off the tunnel. Lovely amongst the trees. The Chateau was beautiful. Lovely architecture on the buildings. The deserts looked amazing 😅 in the little cafe. Love the new hat Trev. Marina looks lovely. Hope you went in the tuk tuk x Julie and Tony x

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Haha perfect few days except we didn’t get a tuk tuk so will have to do that next time 😃 thank you for your lovely comments 💙🚐 Trev n Sue

Hi Trev and Sue what a fabulous video which I really enjoyed watching I am so glad Sheila and Joe were able to get their van sorted it must have been a nail biting time for them to make it It looked a really lovely site and town and an area where you could relax and enjoy the French way of life it’s that I enjoy about France and have had many happy holidays all over the country one of my favourites is Provence! Looking forward to your next adventures all the best to you all Daniel

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Thank you Daniel, I am currently making the video from the D Day celebrations but there is so much footage, I don’t know what to use. It’s beautiful on the Normandy coast and we are only just touching the surface with this tour. Much more to come 😃🚐👍🏻💙 Trev

[@stewchesman5259]

Great video again. Beautiful site and surrounding area, and the hat suits you too. Enjoy your time ;))

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Thanks Stew, it was a lovely place. A great start to the tour. The hat has been keeping the sun off my face, It’s been quite warm here just the same as UK 😀🚐💙 Trev

[@HoneyandMe]

How nice to be able to just drive over to France! Glad your friends were able to get their MH fixed and able to go along. Loved the donkey and beautiful horse! Plus the lovely old buildings! So much history! Vive la France!

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Thank you Sue and Trev, we love the short journey from where we live. We can be in France from our house within 4 hours. It’s amazing and we chose such a wonderful place for our first destination 😃🚐💙 Trev n Sue

[@donnysweekendvanlifetravel7854]

Looks great trev been enjoying the photo updates all the best donny

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Thanks Donny. After a bumpy start with Joe’s van, we got to enjoy our first drinks on you that evening after arriving at Saint Valery. We were sorry we didn’t spend longer with you this time but we must make a date later in the year to overnight somewhere with our two blue campervans 👍🏻🚐💙 Trev

[@donnysweekendvanlifetravel7854]

@@PoshcatsCamping def will look foward to it

[@tracysconce772]

We were in Saint Valery last week and took our 2 beagle boys to the Vet on the main street. No appointment needed. Open 5pm - 7pm Mon - Fri. Note, emergencies only at weekends so need to be prepared for that. Very helpful, vet who spoke excellent English and was very experienced in the dreaded health certificates - and disagreed with them as much as me! He much preferred passports. €55.60 for both dogs. Would recommend the vet and Saint Valery ☺

[@PoshcatsCamping]

That sounds perfect 👍🏻 We had planned to use a vet that we tried last time in Saint Omer as we are in that direction later on the tour. It’s a small but busy practice and the Vet was very helpful 🙂👍🏻 Thanks for the tip, we really appreciate it 👍🏻😃💙🐕🐕 Trev n Sue

[@perrinstow5302]

Pleased you all arrived safely, what a lovely site and local town, just beautiful, enjoy, take care, looking forward to the next video, all the best, Perrin & Marilyn. 😊

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Thank you, we were very happy with our first campsite and the local area was beautiful. Saint Valery was a delightful place with the old medieval part mixed with the modern boats in the harbour. Great day out 😃🚐💙 Trev

[@NatureAndOther]

Very nice video. Nice camping and such a beautiful and nice town, so many things to see, so many different architecture

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Thank you Roni, we chose a fabulous campsite and first location on this tour. It was so exciting to be outside the UK again too 🚐💙 Trev

[@HitchUpAndTow]

Glad everyone arrived safely. Looks like you picked a nice site and I'm now looking forward to the exercise video🤣. Stay safe Mark & Coral

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Haha yes we tried to stitch Joe up again 😂 Poor Joe, I am sure he will het his own back 👍🏻🚐 Trev

[@debshamish6533]

Bit of a stressful start for Sheila & Joe, but so glad they got the motorhome fixed in time 👍 The first spot you’ve chosen looks lovely, so pretty and clean - thanks for the tour and looking forward to the next video, when Joe will no doubt be looking ‘hench’ (as the kids say) after all that exercising 💪🤣. Safe travels, Debs 🚐🍻

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Thanks Debs, we were so relieved when the Merc was fixed. It meant a long journey at the last hour from Exeter to Folkestone but now we’re back on track and enjoying our tour. Joe is keeping fit but didn’t come up the 400 steps to the top of the lighthouse yesterday 😂 Take care 😃🚐👍🏻 Trev

[@HappyPlaceCamping]

I wanna ride on the ferry 😁 looks like a lovely place to spend time with friends. Please tell me you went down the slide on the playground! 😂 I totally would have lol. Love that little town. And the church is gorgeous! Mmmm crème brûlée. Never had it. Need to try it one day! Wow. Over 4 hours is a good bit of time to wonder around a little town. Course I probably would too. I’d be taking pics like Joe lol. A great start to your adventure!

[@PoshcatsCamping]

We were so pleased we chose this campsite and location. Saint Valery was so beautiful that the historic buildings and the warm friendly atmosphere of the place kept us there all afternoon. The was of course that super large desert to eat and a string of shops to browse too 😂👍🏻 Thanks for watching from the other side of the pond, we love that you stick with us on our travels 🚐💙 Trev n Sue

[@birdnest5814]

Beautiful road trip to beautiful places. Not even a speck of litter anywhere. Wish our towns were that clean. Cute Trev and Joe have matching hats now. Easier for the ladies to keep an eye on them 😉😆💕

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Haha yes, the hats are a giveaway and we have been called the terrible twins 😂 💙 Trev

[@Goldenretrieverandacampervan]

Great vlog thank you, we will be doing our first van trip to France next year & also with our 🐕 so keen to see how you get on 👍🏻

[@PoshcatsCamping]

The process is quite straightforward with dogs but the Vets do like to charge a small fortune for what seems to be a few bits of paperwork 🤷🏼‍♂️ However, ours are good travellers and they are used to the motorhome wherever it is 😃🐕🐕 Trev

[@Goldenretrieverandacampervan]

@@PoshcatsCamping Thanks Trev glad to hear it’s quite straightforward 👍🏻 I know you’ve done it a few times, have they ever checked the dog food since the Brexit changes? We will have to change the food he’s on to one we can buy over there but not sure how much they look at, from other channels it seems they are mostly concerned with gas rather than meat content?!

[@PoshcatsCamping]

@@Goldenretrieverandacampervan We take a little of their normal canned food but it’s heavy so we have to buy it when we are away. Vans are checked randomly for foods but we have never been picked before. If your dog has a special diet, you can get a letter from your vet stating this so you can carry what you need. 🙂

[@Goldenretrieverandacampervan]

@@PoshcatsCamping Sounds sensible. We read you are allowed to take a little of specialist food. Think we will just play safe, switch him gradually here to something available in France. Thanks for replying now get out there & enjoy your travels 😎

[@mpaws]

Wish I was there.

[@PoshcatsCamping]

It was a fabulous start to our tour. We didn’t travel too far on our first day and with the warm welcome from the campsite, it got us of to the perfect start. 🇫🇷🚐💙 Trev

[@LeisureBit]

Great video as always, thanks for sharing the tunnel process as we’d love to do France next year so very helpful. Lovely. Enjoy the rest of your trip! All the best, David & Rachel 👍

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Thanks guys, you’ll have no problem with Eurotunnel with your van. It’s so easy and before you know it, you are driving on the right hand side 😂👍🏻🚐💙 Trev

[@NBNatureTrailvan]

That’s really cool Trev and Sue. We stayed on that campsite many (many many) years ago when the kids were small Really beautiful place St Valery

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Thank you, We were warmly welcomed by the campsite staff and really enjoyed our stay here. Saint Valery had something special about it that was perfect for the first part of our tour 🚐💙 Trev

[@malcolmbrooksmhomechannel]

Great video Trev & Sue…Have a good time…Hope the weather stays good for you. 👍😊

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Thank you Malcolm, we appreciate your comments and hope you are both well 🚐💙 Trev n Sue

[@andrew-karens-adventures]

Looks a lovely site, and the little town looks lovely as well, must go back to France in the future, gkad Joe and Sheila gor MH sorted 👍

[@PoshcatsCamping]

This was the perfect start. It wasn’t a long journey to Saint Valery and it was a very warm welcome. We were settled in by mid afternoon and ready to enjoy our French adventure 🇫🇷🚐💙 Trev

[@tonymarsh6748]

beautiful

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Thank you Tony, this was a fabulous place to start the tour and so family friendly. We spoke to a family from Reading that come here every year with their children as it’s the same distance for them as Cornwall or Yorkshire. It’s the same for us. Despite an early start and having time to do our grocery shopping, we were on the campsite by lunchtime. Sue was in the pool and I was opening my first beer by 3pm. What a way to start 😂👍🏻💙🚐 Trev

[@MarilynChandler-gu5vt]

Another lovely vlog Trev 👍 🍷

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Thank you. We will definitely remember this perfect start to a tour. Despite the difficulties with Joe’s van, we chose the perfect campsite and location to begin our tour 😃🚐💙🇫🇷 Trev

[@MyChannel-di2ho]

Love the video. We are new to motor homing and I am wondering why you took the chunnel and not the ferry. I have looked and it seems much cheaper on the ferry... looking forward to watching the rest of your adventure.

[@PoshcatsCamping]

It’s pretty straightforward really. Ferry is often bumpy and takes longer. Dogs don’t really like ferries and nor do I. It’s cheaper booking through the CAMC and choosing an early train 7:30am or thereabouts (there’s loads to choose from all day and evening). You only need to check in one hour before departure and the ride is 35 minutes. Staying with your vehicle and pets is no problem. We were in France and well clear of Calais and done our shopping before 11am. That left the rest of the day to do as we pleased. Well worth the little extra cost 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev

[@deenunya7735]

Nice Video, Nice Place. That repair Bill Wouldn't be Cheap from a Merc Main Dealer 🤯

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Thank you 😊 Joe’s campervan has suffered from a number of intermittent problems like this with engine management issues. None of the independent dealers have been able to get to the bottom of it so the only way out was a Merc Dealership. Finally the van is now able to be trusted again but it was touch and go right to the last minute. 😖😃🚐👍🏻 Trev

[@raystewart6524]

Black Horse was always our last stop in UK..before we jumped on the ferry for France..

[@PoshcatsCamping]

It’s very convenient and has everything you need in those circumstances. We only live 2 hours from Folkestone (on a good day) so we are going to try “Ipswich to France in 4 hours” on one of our trips. I am sure it’s possible to save the nearly £40 the CAMC charge for an overnight stop 😃🚐💙 Trev

[@peterrider3471]

Hi trev if your passing threw Riberac pop in and say hello

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Hi Peter, thank you for your kind offer, from Le Mans we will be heading west so we will miss you this time. I am sure we will tour in your area in future 😃👍🏻🇫🇷🚐 Trev

[@williamchanning9055]

Did u mention the cost of your pitch? Looked lovely.

[@PoshcatsCamping]

The pitch cost was between £28 and £30 per night when you add in the 2 dogs and local taxes that are paid in euros on arrival. This makes the campsite very similar to UK prices. Hope that helps 🙂 Trev

It's legal 😃 just sayin' 😝 Trev
