Vanlife France is weird and wonderful. It hasn't been exactly what we expected but it has been great. We visit a cider farm, experience a pizza vending machine and visit one of France's must-visit tourist destinations Mont Saint-Michel.

⭐ About Travel Beans:
Hello and welcome to our channel! We are Alex & Emma, a British couple who have been exploring the world together for over 10 years - from backpacking to vanlife:
2012/13: We both embarked on our own solo backpacking trips through Southeast Asia, where we would eventually meet at a hostel in the mountains of Thailand and begin traveling together. After a year and a half of backpacking around Southeast Asia & Australia, we returned home and to the corporate world!
2015: Travel Beans was born and we filmed our first videos on a road trip around Europe with friends! This was our biggest trip yet.. and you can go back and watch the entire adventure because we filmed ALL of it! This trip took us through Russia, Mongolia & China, on the longest railway journey in the world. Followed by highlights such as staying on a local island in the Maldives for a month, going on safari in Sri Lanka, couchsurfing & hitchhiking in Korea, seeing the snow monkeys in Japan, island hopping in the Philippines, trekking 60km through the centre of Myanmar, exploring the Indian Himalayas, and checking out some of the incredible US National Parks.
2016: Despite an unbelievably memorable year and a half of travels, which we were incredibly grateful to have had the privilege to experience.. we found ourselves in New York City, battling depression. At this point, we decided to go home and confront this problem head-on.
2017: After 6 tough months at home we decided to go away again, but this time with a goal in mind.. to turn travel into a lifestyle. We left the UK with just £500 in our bank account and a dream to make a continuous travel lifestyle happen! We both got online English teaching jobs to be able to fund our travels and to keep creating videos. We can't quite believe that our younger selves decided to take this plunge but we are so grateful they did as we are still on this journey today!
What now?
Over the years, we've discovered that we LOVE road trips and even decided to renovate our very own little VWT4 van into a campervan to be able to enjoy vanlife and spend more time on the road. We are now the proud owners of 2 awesome little campers - one based in the UK and one that we keep in the USA. You'll often find us using one of these vans to explore Europe and North America. If you enjoy this kind of content we'd recommend checking out our Italy Road Trip series, USA vanlife series and our Japan in a Tiny Van series as well as our UK vanlife content.
Our time spent overcoming depression has influenced our outlook on life dramatically! We are now traveling the world in search of what makes us happy. We love sharing the highs and lows of our trips through our videos and hope to spread a little positivity and light to all of the beautiful people who take the time to tune in and watch each week!

[@roseb3387]

Why are you still advertising better help?

[@welshfae1249]

My grandad had ptsd too and he never spoke about his experiences in the war until close to when he died. He too went into Belsun and spoke quietly about the bodies for a few minutes, before he started to tell us more positive stories. RIP Stanley and everyone else who fought for us ❤

[@sroberts605]

My grandad too, though not only did he rarely mention it, but there weren't the words for their trauma. It only came up when he had to take the stairs as he couldn't bear lifts - hauling people out of trenches and collapsed buildings gave him claustrophobia (another word he never used, just 'I can't go in there').

[@KeithChegwin24]

@@sroberts605 I grew up in a family of serviceman and women, my dad was in the Royal Tank Regiment and my mum was a driver. I joined the army at 16 and stayed in for a little over 12 years until 2004 when I went into private security and went to Iraq...14yrs later I was blown up in Afghanistan and ended up having a stroke through complications from the explosion...I can't even imagine how much worse it was for yours or my own family members who endured WW2, but I can relate to them not wanting to talk about anything they witnessed. I don't talk to my own family about anything I witnessed over the 14yrs I spent in Iraq and Afghanistan. I have PTSD and i'm on a cocktail of drugs to help, but talking about it isn't something I can do either.

[@janiewilliams48]

Hi Beans, From Ohio, USA. So sunny sunsets would be great to see. So glad you go so in-depth with your experiences. We love watching about food and the camping part of your trips. I would love to make a crocketed blanket or two for you guys. At no charge. I just wish I could send it to you somehow once you're in the country again. If you'd provide an address I could ship you one. The pizza was especially different even for the USA, we have drive up everything. Take care and have safe trips. Looking forward to a PM from you Janie Williams, Ohio

[@laurahillier619]

Loved this, my favourite Uncle must have been with your Grandfather, he was a tank driver & his was the first tank to destroy the gate entrance to Belsen to allow the soldiers in. He too suffered with PTSd from what he saw but his total meltdown was due to a book that was released in the 70’s about the survivors of Belsen & a woman survivor named my Uncle as her hero, calling him Wally my mum showed him the book not knowing that this would trigger his PTSd & he lost it, screaming & swearing he barricaded him & my mum in the dining room we kids were made to go outside while my Aunt & my dad tried to work out what to do but my mum just told my Uncle it was ok & to tell her. So for the next 3 hours he poured out his heart & Soul to my mum. Writing this has brought me to tears remembering the harrowing scream that came from him. What those men saw I can’t imagine. In memory of my beautiful Uncle Walter & my Beautiful Mum. Love & miss them dearly!

[@ZEVONLIN]

I sincerely hope that he is at peace now! That is beyond a poignant story

[@WagnerGimenes]

Now I'm crying. I thank your uncle and appreciate his sacrifice.

[@susanwallis7249]

Thank you for sharing that. We have so much to be grateful to that generation for. Your poor uncle, what pain he must have carried and for so long.

[@jacksrus]

😢thx for sharing that RIP uncle Walter and all that were there.😢

[@laurahillier619]

Thank you guys for those beautiful reply’s, I never realised how much that still affected me, I have just read what I wrote & your reply’s to my dad, who is 92 this year and going strong & it too bought him to tears remembering that day & how he is so afraid that we are now heading to another world war. 😢

[@corid1897]

Thank you for sharing your grandad's story. As that generation passes the world feels a more unstable more dangerous place. The awfulness of war should never be forgotten - we need to keep sharing the memories so no one forgets.

[@sroberts605]

Yes, that's why I'm so furious with a certain person for starting another war in Europe. I thought we'd all vowed to never again.

[@lauramurphy4022]

Am I the only one who feels there is a lil person in the vending machine who doesn’t like to talk to people living their best life making pizza without people bothering them and they are hearing the beans giggling outside like school children 😂

[@EFTProf]

That's AN ill person! OK?

There's gotta be some little person working there happy job inside.

[@anniedonnelly7416]

[@donaldwallace7934]

Happy Birthday Alex! And a very big thank you to your Grandfather for his service during WWII !! Like you, I can’t even imagine the horrors that they saw, and dealt with! 😞 🇨🇦🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@laurabatton]

I love how real you two are. So many would have cut out the hot food segment, but I loved the authenticity!

[@KeithChegwin24]

This has to be the most normal channel on KZbin! From spitting your food out and leaving it in to mentioning the 'paid for' advertising, it's a breath of fresh air to watch a normal family doing normal things! I just wish you put out more episodes. Happy birthdaty, Al!

[@RockDove5212]

Thank you for the Juno Beach bit and talking about your grandpa. Very poignant and interesting.

[@claracb51]

My grandad was also British and attached to the Canadians on D day at Juno. He never spoke about his experiences until his later years and when he did it was harrowing to hear what he had seen. We had the privilege of going to Juno beach a couple of years ago and the sense of history was palpable. May we never forget. So glad you got to go and experience it in peaceful times. Happy travels in a beautiful country Xxx

[@WagnerGimenes]

Guys, I've been watching your videos since before the fire. This has to be one of your best videos I've seen. So lovely to see Noah taking steps where his great grandfather did those heroic acts. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@maryddd3546]

I agree, I have enjoyed many of their videos but this one was the best!

[@deborahadamson8066]

My grandfather was there, with yours, with the North Novas. He was taken as a POW as well and suffered from ptsd during his lifetime. Thankful he made it back to tell us some of the tragic story. I sponsored a memorial brick to him at the visitor centre at Juno.

[@PositivelyLife]

Happy Birthday! Thank you for sharing that story about your Granddad and his service during WWII, the beach at Normandy and so much more. So sorry to hear about his PTSD as it was not very well treated back then. He was truly a hero.

[@teresad6513]

Such a touching tribute to your grandfather on Juno beach. Moist eyes here. Touched my heart.

[@gypsyroveradventures6133]

Thank you so much for your respectful and loving memorial to your grandfather and all those men who sacrificed so much for the freedoms we so often take for granted💕💕🙏🙏

[@johnrandazzo7158]

First of all, thank you for your granddad's service. It was nice to see your family connection. I can't think of any crazier vending machines-EVER!! And I've yet to say it but have thought it many many times-Noah is just ADORABLE!!

[@michaelatkinson8291]

Everyone should from time to time remember that we can only enjoy places like that beach with our children & loved ones because of the bravery & sacrifices of those incredible men & women in World War 2.

[@rankfastpro572]

Your videos are a source of joy and inspiration. Keep spreading the positivity!

[@4WhatItsWorth]

Oh man, 11 min 55 hit hard after Em's comments a second earlier. That build-up and investment in your journey and story, that pacing and timing..... That is filmaking. That is why I watch your channel. There are lots of people with cameras out there chronicalling their lives but it takes really special people to make me want to follow along. Well done.

[@kenandcoreen7179]

Happy Birthday Alex! We also visited Juno Beach on our 9 days driving France in October. As Canadians, we felt all the emotions. To think of the horror of what went on, and then to now look, and walk on this beautiful beach - well I did shed some tears. We also visited the bunkers, and Beny-Sur-Mer canadian cemetery. Along our travels we also visited Mont Saint Michel - WOW. SO impressive. Love that you will head for Spain - that is where my vote went😁😁 - Coreen

[@becorations1]

Happy Birthday, Alex!!! Thank you for sharing the story about you grandfather. It must have been so surreal for you to be on the beach he fought for freedom. Your story made me tear up. I am an empath that loves history, and visiting locations like that always overwhelms me emotionally.

[@TheresaPowers]

NO one is an empath at all. That is only New Age BS.

[@user-by1nd2tr1m]

Thank you for sharing the story of your grandfather. It was very special hearing you retelling his experience. We visited Omaha Beach over a decade ago. It’s extremely moving to see the landscape and hear about the insurmountable odds the brave soldiers had to overcome in the D-day campaign. Such a sobering experience!

[@donlop9103]

Your gramps a hero thank God he survived. Look forward to your travels

[@arlenesolis024]

The ninja chef knocked it out the ballpark with that amazing chili…yum please post the recipe. You have to buy Noah a French barrette

[@Kermit-Si]

Yes Alex, we have such alot to thank your grandad and his colleagues for because we would be living in a completely different world if not for them. 👍🐸

[@paulamatthey9878]

Very moving images/story on Juno beach. ❤

[@dgreen71]

Thankyou for great video. Yes we must never ever ever forget their lives for our freedom. Thankyou to all that served for us.

"escaping a very gray winter in the UK" France is 30 miles away.

So maybe they wanted gray winter in France?

[@brianhiesermann452]

Love watching you two opps you three now. Such a breath of fresh air. Love Emma laughing at you and that pizza

[@brad4texas]

❤❤❤❤ Loved the D-Day Normandy beach visit. And the cute French cider farm party with pizza vending 😊. The French Monte… basically mount castle village: how awesome! 👏

[@monicamestas7566]

Pizza vending machine?!? Who knew? That is hilarious! Two olives. Followed by a Better Help therapy commercial. I can't stop laughing. Happy Birthday!

[@heatherangellight8558]

Thank you for sharing your grandads story and for honoring him. What a wonderful trip you are having.

[@lissamtate66]

I just love your little family’s adventures! Hugs to all of you, and Happy Belated Birthday to both of you!❤

[@rexsteigerwalt3411]

I also follow Snow and Curt. They were showing the pizza vending machines. I am glad you bought one so we could see the results. I live in Colorado and started watching you two recently. I like your realness and explorations. I really enjoyed your Colorado experiences. I hope you come back.😊

[@OnTheOffRamp]

Great video. Nice piece on DDay and Normandy. As a Canadian it is a source of pride that our troops were involved in the event and our kids are still taught about it in schools today. We have heard many stories about PTSD experienced by the men involved in the fight

[@melissamoeller9608]

How incredible that, because of your grandad’s actions so many years ago, you’re now able to come on your birthday (happy 🎉birthday!) with your sweet family. A priceless gift!

[@4WhatItsWorth]

Omg... Emma with the food.... 😂😂😂😂😂 I'm dying 😅 I haven't had a huge deep sustained belly laugh like that in I don't know why long. Thank you 😂❤

[@alisonhedgecox3763]

A very moving piece about Juno beach ,God bless Grandad and all whose lives were lost.

[@DaveBrandt96]

The first time I visited France was in 1959 while I was stationed in Northamptonshire with The US Air Force. En route to Sevilla, Spain, we landed at one of our bases in France for fuel. My limited interaction with the French civilians working on the base was decidedly not enjoyable, and I decided that I would not be returning. Fast forward to about 2007 and My wife, and I, along with our daughter and granddaughter were staying over in Windsor on our 47th Anniversary trip to the UK and I said, let's take the Chunnel train to Paris. So, off we went over to Ashford and got on the train for Paris. That trip, even though it was only for the day, changed my mind totally about France as in every interaction, we were received with total courtesy and acceptance, and if I ever could return, I would jump at the opportunity.

[@cindywernert9309]

A dear friend’s first husband died at Normandy. She was working in the post office in New York at the time and found out he passed when she received his belongings while at work. So so sad. She rarely spoke of it and she wasn’t on the beach herself. I can’t imagine. Bless her ❤ she passed away herself this year at 101! Thank you so much for sharing this video and family history for us.

[@johnkeenan4184]

Hi Guys, if heading south, would recommend Parc Naturel de Carmargue, wild horses and flamingoes, & also further east, Port Grimaud, a Venice like town, & of course nearby St Tropez!

[@mielubland]

I really loved the scene when Emma would spit the food for being too hot while Alex would fully enjoy the moment, with no trace of empathy whatsoever. :)

[@andynightingale7335]

Aw Noah! His little face when he was going swimming!

[@itscarolinemary]

It’s amazing that your grandpa survived ❤ how surreal it is that you’re on the same beach where he stood. Beautiful and poetic. Seeing Noah also walk on the beach brought tears to my eyes. 🥹🫶

[@MartiJo79]

This has been one of my favorite videos you've ever done. Loved it!

[@jilllusey7001]

Great video. I love that part of France. As an American I also appreciate what happened there on June 6, 1944. We have been there twice and would love to go back.

[@eileenderheim3768]

It is surreal to see the difference of a beach 80 years later. Bonus for 'Baby Bean' taking steps on the same beach. . Thankful for your Granddad's service along with all the other allies that fought against the inhumanities. Hope your family takes the journey to visit for your Granddad. Appreciate you sharing Mont Saint-Michel, a place that has always intrigued me. Look forward to the sun adventures. ☀

[@griselapuerta8644]

Nice to learn about your grandpa's service during war. Love both of you for your great sense of humor. Your son will love it.😂

[@HUHBAT]

Yall are so wonderful! Happy travels! Wonderful of you to say something about the history and well said as well! Happy Birthday!

[@sarahmeagher738]

It's so true. When I was little, I went to France with my parents to see my brother, who was spending a year overseas. When we were in Paris, the people at the hotel found shows I liked to watch (granted, they were in French), helped my mom do a French Tooth Fairy, and then made some sort of fancy meal for my sister and me so my folks could have a night out. All just as part of being in hospitality and genuinely nice people.

[@malice41414]

[@laurenrs]

Thank you so much for sharing your grandfather's story. It's so tragic to hear of all those "lucky" ones that came back only to suffer tremendously with PTSD. I lived in Normandy at one time, and I always felt that the beaches were a somber place.

[@Roz31573]

Great to see you back in mainland Europe, and vlogging like a travel show in times past. We use a lot of your older Europe trips as inspiration for our own

Thank you for sharing about your granddad. My great-uncle was there fighting alongside your granddad with the US Soldiers. I’ve visited the Arc de Triumph which he walked through afterwards, but I haven’t had a chance to make it to the beach. Very moving. Thank you for sharing. ❤️

[@dianegriffith3006]

Thank you Alex and Emma for this very sobering video telling us about your grandfather’s experience having been there during the war. So surreal I’m sure. This video was fun as well with all the side trips you took. Noah is just adorable too!! Blessings!

[@soxrox2574]

When you were at the Pizza Vending Machine all I could think of was your video when you had "Pizza Crunch" 🍕 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@alexandral6273]

Hi, as a french woman, I NEVER bought any food on this vending machines ! LOL It's true that we have some in some places, but I never see anyone waiting in front of them for bread or pizzas ... On the other hand, there are more and more (in the country side) selling fruits, vegetables, potatoes, flowers, local cheeses or else ... and those are much better ! Theses machines are great for people who live far from cities or supermarkets for exemple. Or for local farmers to sell their specialties. I'm glad you got to visit the Mon Saint Michel ! It is a very special ans gorgeous place, but as you said, it survives because of the tourists. I'm also annoyed of touristy stores !! In the summer, millions of tourists come and the very small streets are overcrowed, so it was the perfect time for you to walk around, especially with Noa in his stroller. Have a wonderful day ! 😜

[@toobydude41]

Bless your grandfather and all those gave the ultimate sacrifice. Thanks for sharing that touching story Alex. As far as tourist shops, they don't really bother me. There could be some nifty items to be found among the tacky commonplace stuff . Such as that hat you spotted Alex. You're not contributing to any " problem" by getting it. And yes they may be needed to help sustain these places. Not to mention, please don't forget, you are tourists in a sense too. That Mont Saint-Michel sure packs a lot into what seems like its tiny size! Lovely video Beans

[@chautiendung]

I’m from Houston Texas USA n I’ve never been in Europe. Thanks for sharing your experience. 👍

[@sjwillis1137]

So very moving to see little Noah being walked on the beach where your Grandad had been in WW2. His tiny feet on the sand of the Normandy landings . Enjoy the rest of your adventure . 👍 16:26

[@tammieflemal7871]

My great uncle fought with the US Army. He saved the life of another soldier while being wounded himself. He was part of the concentration camp liberation and never would speak of what he witnessed he had been so traumatized

My Great Uncle travelled with NZ troups to battle near Valenciennes and was killed there. I have visited his marked grave. So sad. Such a waste of so many young lives. Thank you Beanie family for yet another awesome video! Love from NZ. Travel safe 💌💌💌🙋🏼‍♀️🚐 🌏

Tres bien, for trois beans! Enjoy the sunshine, wise choice and hopefully Noah will love learning to walk in the warmth.

[@bobknull7502]

As far as vending machines, one that is more brilliant than weird is located at the Popcorn Tavern in LaCrosse Wi. This is a local music venue that has had live music 7 nights a week for many decades, They have a vending machine where you can buy.....Guitar strings, picks, drumsticks, batteries for effects pedals, and of course........rolling papers.

[@ginnieashmore988]

@bobknull7502 as a fellow La Crosse-ian I concer lol

[@carolemurray4532]

Loved this video. So glad you are going somewhere warm though. No weird vending machine experience to relate.

NIce film. Normandy has some fantastic museums dealing with WW2, you don't have to be a military buff to enjoy them. l still recall my visit to the Memorial de Caen even though it was many years ago. The museum showing off the Bayeux Tapestry is also amazing. Unfortunately the region's weather is similar to southern UK so you've got to keep moving. Regarding destination I'm glad common sense prevailed. South of France has been enjoying good weather recently - you may not even need to go as far as Spain. Santé!

[@debbiewilliams2653]

Happy belated Alex. Great video guys. Thank you for sharing about your Grandfather and What they all did for all our freedom 😊Can't wait for more videos
