Two French Aires and an Accident! Camping-car Parks , Felleries and Amnéville

[@RobertSmith-cv1cu]

These camping car parks are great places. You can leave your van while you walk town and feel its secure. Inexpensive too. Highly recommend. They are all over France.

@@RobertSmith-cv1cu love the way you can see the available spaces on the app too.

Thanks, David, yes, as a newbie the camping-car gives you some security at the fraction of the cost of campsites. I'm using a few more of them on our next trip. Also was worth paying extra so I could prebook my space.

Well that is literally crazy stuff!! Brilliant vid absolutely enthralling - obviously it wasn’t for you guys at the time! 😨😨. I remember you posting on the FB group. I have an itinery for September and that Camping Car Park is on it! If we do get there I will have to look out for mad drugged Audi drivers. So lucky the idiot didn’t hit you. You remained remarkably calm there mate. 👍 That little road you mistakenly drove along looks a lot worse than some of the Scottish roads 😃 I’ve just registered the drone for Europe but looking at the flight maps of where we’re headed, only a few miles where could use it 😃🤦🏻‍♂️ Can I just ask about the wifi data sim you use. We use Three and Vodafone sims in the phones and a Vodafone data only sim for the WiFi but wondered if you had bought a local one there as some do. Again, great vid Chris

Thanks for that, yes crazy at the time and in hindsight, it's easy to think I should have reacted differently; like pinching his keys etc. Still, no one was hurt. Just a pain as we had a long drive the next day and had to use toll roads to shorten the trip (next episode :) ). We're on Three too but was not going to pay the daily charges! I got a data sim from helloiq.co.uk/ with 100gig of data for a month. No contract, you just add more data for the next time you wish to use it. I put this in my phone so we could use google maps as our plans changed. Didn't use it all and even managed a video call back to England with it. You may have noticed the walkie-talkies we used for closeby communication in place of our phones. France seems very fussy about drones, We're going to the Loire in September but most Chateau have No Fly Zones.

@@GoWithGustav thanks Chris. Very useful - yes we’re thinking about getting walky talkies too. I know a few people have them - very useful for those sticky situations!
