We Have Visitors in France - Van Life Europe

[@1sheinz]

Happy New Years GUY'S! I'm sure your aware about the new remote I'd rules for drones there in the EU . Even with an under 250gm you must apply for a drone pilot registration just like a local. Sure don't want you too run into trouble . I lived in Belgium on the French border long ago and am just loving to relive the sights thru your videos THANK YOU CHEERS AND SAFE TRAVELS Steve h.

[@sandradummer4726]

And Snow…we did miss you. Keep feeling better. Bless you and Curt and the kitties.

[@Bb14029]

I had to stop the video to look up the caves. There is a virtual tour on the museum’s website. Absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing the story. How fun to meet up with family!

[@SnowAndCurt]

They were epic!

[@jules2565]

I just read that the original cave has been closed for decades and that these are all reproductions. Still interesting

[@Yvonneb_]

So pleased your feeling better Snow. I agree it must nice to meet family on the road x x

[@marthataylor5709]

I imagine this visit with your cousin was more than special in view of what you have recently gone through. So glad you had this opportunity. So sorry for your loss.

[@annieoakley5075]

I just love your videos. At 74 I could never afford to go back to Europe and yet I am seeing it through you travels. Thanks so much for a window into your adventures.

[@Nickelson28]

Love how clean the small towns are, not so much in the big cities. We lived in Germany on the economy for 3 years. Some of the best times of our life. Enjoy and stay well.

[@Diatom27]

We did miss you Snow! So happy that you are starting to feel better. Meeting up with family after so many years is just so special. Bet you never wanted it to end. That food looked absolutely delicious! Another amazing church. Take care of yourselves and safe travels. ❤

[@colleenrobinson5806]

I am absolutely LOVING watching your trip through Europe. I have been in France, and other European countries, but it was a long time ago! Watching your adventures brings back the “flavour” of Europe! Thank you for the superb videography!

[@queens6583]

That museum was really cool. It's amazing to see what kind of civilization lived thousands of years ago. How they created magnificent structures and art without modern day tools is truly mind blowing. So glad you got to hook up with family. I imagine that's one part of traveling that sometimes can be difficult and missing out on family gatherings. I'm so sorry for the loss of your sister Curt. Try to stay dry and I hope Snow continues to feel better. Here in the U.S. all kinds of respiratory illness are up.

[@suziperret468]

Thanks! Enjoyed the caves and rainy France from my dry living room! Glad you got to visit with family!

[@lisacottrell5924]

So good to see you up and around Snow!! Missed your beautiful face!! Although, Curt is awesome at entertaining us!! Love you guys!!

[@loriegreene9375]

Snow, I have missed you. I am so glad that you are feeling better. You guys complement each other so when one is out sick it is obvious. I really love France so far even if it is a bit rainy and chilly. Take care of yourself.

[@wyomingwips7540]

So nice that you were able to meet up with family. WOW, the sights there, Amazing!! And the church, Gorgeous 😍 Glad Snow is feeling better. Take Care, Blessings 💕

[@cgreen186]

Good to see Snow is getting better. That cave tour and the Museum was so neat to watch. I love all of the historical buildings that you're going to run across and have run across in France and will all of Europe. When I did so much travel in Europe at the middle to the end of Springtime it was such a beautiful time of year because of the reins and the snow and the gray gray skies started clearing up a little and we got to see the blue skies a little more summer is a beautiful time in Europe.. so good to see your little kitties take their walk, they looked so happy that they were getting to go on a walk. Snow I'm glad you're getting better. Take care of yourself. Kurt you're a good guy you always watch out for snow. The church so beautifully, I love all of those chandeliers. Be blessed, in all your travels. This was a wonderful video that you did.

[@SnowAndCurt]

The old buildings are just amazing

[@elizabethsad8023]

The most wonderful video. Snow thankfully getting better 💗 as we missed her so much. Take good care snow stay warm & safe with Curt 🩵. Gorgeous town full of history 🫶🏻🥰 The museum was incredible so special loved it. Furries all happy. Mike & Betsy so lovely & super meet up. Sorry about the rain & cold, but it didn’t stop you exploring 👌🎉

[@OLDS98]

Thank you for sharing so much as you explore and travel Europe. I am glad to hear Snow is feeling better. I am sorry she was not well. I am glad to see she is up and recovering. Thank you for being open and taking so many people on your journey. The French communities look interesting indeed. There is so much out there in the world indeed. Please take care Curt and Snow.

[@srameypr]

I loved the cave art! And OMG, those narrow streets! What an adorable village!

[@stephainerose8765]

❤ I'm so glad you're feeling better Snow keep up the healing process girl🎉Stephanie 🌹 Rose here from, FLORIDA🌴 B Safe, Stay Well 🙏 THANK YOU

[@catherineromero1862]

My one complaint about your videos is that they all end! Haha. But anyway the cave paintings are truly amazing to see even 3rd hand. That is so wonderful you had a reunion with your cousin, especially given your recent loss, and how special that you have future meet ups to look forward to ❤❤❤

[@SoniaKolesar]

Snow good to see your feeling better, you were missed. What a blessing to meet up with your family, they are so sweet and kind. Can't wait for your next adventure. Stay safe. Sonia from So Cal.

[@Cali_Fornia869]

Omg!!! What a different world than the one we live in, love the towns, just so cozy and artistically designed. The cave was phenomenal wow!!! Once again I could never se anything like this without you both taking us on this journey 😊 Say hi to your cousins Take care, safe travels Susie in Michigan

[@terrythomas3755]

Thank you for another great post. Snow you a natural commentator. Curt your French pronunciation is ‘interesting’ 😀😀 The endless rain and darkness in winter, is one of the reasons we Northern Europeans rush down to the Mediterranean at the earliest opportunity.

[@tayloredtravels5271]

So great to have you guys back!! We don't mind the rain if you don't. Such a beautiful country and how wonderful it was to be able to explore it with family. Can't wait for the next installment! Luv U Guys ❤

[@heartradiant]

This video is awesome. I had no idea such a cave existed. The older I get (67) the more I've come to realize I really know so little of the beautiful World I live in. So thank you for sharing this incredible treasure with those of us that will never (more than likely) ever get to experience this 1st hand. My love to you both, the kitties and a special thank you to Mike and Betsie (sp) and their priceless gift of this tour.❤

[@patriciatwalsh4479]

Nice to see Snow up and about. Good to see the kitty’s out walking . That’s nice surprise to meet up with relatives. Snow please stay healthy. I’ve enjoyed the videos in France. 😊

[@patriciatwalsh4479]

Glad you had a good visit with family . It sounds like the tour of cave was amazing. Stay safe in your travels. The church was beautiful.😊❤

[@Jana-wz7dr]

Missed you Snow, but glad you took the down time to recuperate. The caves! Wow.

[@TheJustineCredible]

How special to be able to spend time with some of Curt's family while traveling! And what absolutely fantastic history! Thank you for sharing the museum and cave reproductions, that's so incredible! Glad to see you're feeling better Snow! Something my mom and I used to love was visiting old churches on our travels, love that you share these as well!

[@anneandrew3298]

Lovely to be travelling with you again. So glad you are feeling a bit better Snow

[@kathleendougherty9807]

The cave art is absolutely fascinating!!! Thank you for sharing.

[@TonSsss76]

Glad to see that Snow is better again! And wonderful that you were meeting up with family. Can't wait for you to visit Portugal/Spain and of course the Netherlands. Can't wait to see my own country through your eyes. Enjoy!

[@bonniegoodwin234]

Thank you for taking me to France…. It is absolutely beautiful, I would have loved to see that artwork in the cave, and the little towns are so gorgeous…thanks guys🥰

[@HildaHickey]

Bon Jour guys! I am glad Snow is feeling better and Curt you have done a good job videoing. I had one year of French in high school. I can read it better than I can speak it, LOL

[@russellault2391]

So glad to see Snow up and about and the tour looked super the wall paint must have been awesome glad Kurt got to see a cousin he hadn't seen in years that also was great safe travels

[@karap5882]

we really missed Snow's excellent and informative narrating last time! so glad you're feeling better, Snow! :-)

[@violetatcontentboutique7188]

How cool to meet up with your long lost cousin!! Snow, you look Great!!! Soo glad you're feeling better!! Those caves were Breathtaking!! ... and those overflowing plates of food looked absolutely scrumptious! Looking forward to seeing Mike & Betsy again!! ... I'm sooo glad the roads in France have been kinder than *especially* those memorable Andes mountain roads and so many bumpy roads in S. America! It really is a whole new world over there ... with mowed lawns & all ... but they do share those tiny one lane city streets with S. America ... perseverance furthers ... 😺💜

[@kew3264]

Wonderful video. Thank you to Mike and Betsy! Such a fascinating museum. What gorgeous villages. Grateful to you all for letting me join this virtual journey.

[@mrs.rubytang9183]

We're so glad Snow is feeling better, you were missed in the previous few videos. I hope you'll get to experience the Camino as your cousin did - really was an experience! PS: you don't have to walk the entire 500 miles to get your Compostela certificate 😉

[@hazelhallsworth7773]

Snow glad you are feeling better. Amazing cave art and to share the experience with family how lovely.

[@pamelarw58]

Good to see you are feeling better Snow! 😊 What an incredible Museum & Cave Art! Safe travelling 🤗💜💙🇦🇺🐨

Thanks so much!

[@fleurbrun]

Enjoyed immensely !!!! I’m so happy to see Snow feeling well again 👏🏽

Rain or not, this was a wonderful video! From the cave art to your family meet up, you both look so relaxed and happy! 🕊🙏🌐✌️Lady Rusted

Very nice. Glad you are feeling better! (Sidenote: Curt, could you consider removing your hat when inside churches and restaurants? That would be a good sign of respect. I understand in the Americas it has become the ‘norm’ to never remove hats. But that is not the case in Europe). The locals would he grateful! Thank you for your wonderful videos. My 98 year old Belgian mother keeps calling me to ask if you have more from Belgium! She says ‘they are such a nice couple!’ Thank you!!!

[@saranncoulter9405]

So good to see Snow feeling a bit better and family show up just when they were needed. Thanks for sharing x

[@cheleshows]

What great story tellers you both are. The beautiful details in the buildings even the cobblestone designs of the streets/walk ways, I luv it all. Such character and warmth to spaces/towns.

[@debyarger3084]

I'm recovering from the flu myself. Rest well. I bet these towns really pop when the sun shines. We've had very little sun and lots of rain in Michigan, too. Hope that weather clears up for you too. Be safe!

[@kathykenyon2079]

Good to see you Snow! Glad you are on the mend. How fun to hook up with family in France. 🌟💕

[@gabygaedecke2411]

What a lovely "rendezvous" with your cousin, so heartwarming. It has long been a dream of mine to see the Lascaux caves, hard to wrap one's head around how old those paintings are.

[@pacaluvr7963]

Thank you for your wonderful video covering the cave art. I would’ve had goosebumps for most of the time I was in there just because of the age of it and yet the colors and the design are beautiful. And I have to say that lunch looked pretty good too.

[@SnowAndCurt]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@megortiz7343]

I'm in tears watching and listening . You are an awesome storyteller did you know that? So neat you were able to meet up with your cousin especially after your sister's illness. So sorry for that sadness. You are so cool one of the fav words here sometimes.. 😎 cool biz...keep on keeping on!!

[@sleepycheetah]

So many wonderful things to see in Europe. Thank you for sharing all your experiences with us. 😊

[@marywalker2896]

Snow u look good just a little thinner. Good to see u much better. Awesome blog awesome wall art and do good to see family!!

[@lindagolden9892]

This is such a wonderful and delightful experience sharing in on your travels via KZbin. I’m so impressed on how detailed oriented your videos are in sharing facts and tidbits along the way. Thank you ever so much as I doubt I’ll ever travel abroad alone. 🌟 🎥 🍿 👏

[@BoriquaBBW]

I'm so happy to hear you are better, Snow, and yes, you were missed! I love all the architecture in europe, but miss the colors of South and Central America. I'm sure the fact that it is winter there has a lot to do with that. It makes everything seem gray because I know there is a lot of color there. And how nice for you to get to see some of Curt's relatives. Thank you for sharing.

[@reneemelton9330]

So happy that u r feeling better Snow, &yes I missed u immensely. Loved the cave art even tho it was replicas.

[@pattaylor5376]

Recently discovered your channel and really enjoying your videos. France is a wonderful country, beautiful historic medieval villages, good wine, great cheese, the best bread, wonderful countryside but a shame about the weather. 🙏 it will improve soon for you.

[@kathyfawcett220]

Good morning you two, so happy to see you I’m glad your much improved Snow, loved the video, enjoyed it so much I didn’t want it to end, it’s funny how one gets attached, they are just so well done. Nice to see you were able to enjoy family looks like fun for all. Thanks again for the tour makes my breakfast taste better and I can pretend I’m right there lol.😊

[@nancleo]

So glad you got to see an amazing part of France. I'm a retired Frrench teacher in Texas, but have been 2 x to the Dordogne region. I went through the caves at Les Eyzies 2 different times, 80s and 90s, and it just took my breath away to see close up these ancient paintings. I also got to take my French students to a traveling exhibit of Lascaux in Houston, and it was a very impressive experience. I am really enjoying your travels in France and Europe. Here's to sunny skies ahead! Just love watching and listening to you both, Snow and Kurt. Thx for sharing your lovely journey!

[@jeanniemarie1960]

Very special spending time with your family. That last church was beautiful. I'm glad you're feeling better Snow.

[@sherrywarren-biers3327]

You have certainly opened my eyes to historic France…..thanks so much, Snow and Curt! Loved hearing about the painted caves, how they were discovered and seeing the exact reproductions. Meeting up with your cousin and wife was a real bonus. How generous of them to pay your way to the caves tour. 😊

[@imagseer]

That segment about the Lascaux caves was wonderful; and it certainly makes you think about what life they lived back then. I remember reading a story called "Shaman" by US author Kim Stanley Robinson which explored that theme in North America.

[@debbie8935]

Wonderful video. I hope your visit with your cousin and his wife was a fantastic reconnection . I was missing the wildlife in South America, but this is a wonderful change for you and for all of us to follow along. Safe travels. 😊

[@MerrilyVan]

Oh I loved the cave museum and the story of the discovery. Just fascinating!!!

[@chrissylee4476]

Beautiful scenery! I bet it's even more beautiful in the spring and summer!

[@pattyfarghaly1821]

Love your cousins they are awesome . The tour fantastic. Love the small towns and Snow I'm glad your better. ❤❤

[@claireriepe7832]

That was a fascinating video. Thanks for filming as much as you could. I'm so glad you had the opportunity to tour that museum. It's truly one of a kind. And, it's wonderful that you got to spend time with your cousin after so many years. I hope the skies clear soon. You must be feeling a bit soggy after four weeks of rain. Safe travels.

[@elizabethbarros667]

Vive la France!!!!

[@kerrybyers257]

What I see is CLEAN! No trash!

[@Noselfies-zm7dd]

Great video, If you are still in the region, pop over to the Lot department and Rocamadour, you won't be disappointed. Also lots of smaller villages, Carennac, Autoir, Loubressac to name just a few. Lots of caves also at Padirac, LaCave, Grottes de Presque. You could spend months here and still not see everything. It is turning colder but sunny for a week from tomorrow.

[@delynndehardt1859]

This is the best thing you have showed us with the lone exception of the huge Waterfall between Brazil & Argentina. Kudos. I knew the cave had been resealed. But I did not know about the reproduction & museum.

[@gtyler-2551]

Wow!!! Very interesting about the cave just amazing!!! Glad to see you feeling better 😊 Beautiful churches ✝️⛪️ ❤️ ☔️Thanks for sharing ❤👍 Cheers guys🥂👋

So nice to see you again, I hope you didn’t have the flu Snow, my husband and I have it now and it is brutal! You guys are amazing, I would be so depressed with all those dull, rainy days. Great tour, glad you were able to meet up with your cousin and his wife!💕🇨🇦

[@deestanley9836]

The museum history was a special treat. Very interesting, thank you!😊❤

Oh my! I got waves and waves of goosebumps when I saw the word Lascaux 🥳🙏💞👏✨ and the gothic churches make me wonder. There’s so much history that we cannot possibly understand.

Super interesting, the cave was amazing, actually a weak word to describe something so beautiful and moving, I will check out the virtual tour someone mentioned.

[@iluvstuff6618]

💕 hello hello 🤗 Wasn't that an awesome day! The cave art was spectacular.... replica or not. What an amazing discovery for those kids! When me, my daughter and my Garry are out on journey we are always looking for fossils and arrow heads etc. In Alberta where I live, we have a dinosaur bed with hundreds of bones from many dinosaurs piled upon each other possibly from a flash flood. (named Pachyrhinosaurus (lakusti- after the science teacher who discoverd the first fossil ) . Family touring Europe as well! How perfect is that 😉 Thank you to your cousin for gifting this experience to you and all of us 💝 Thanks again for another wonderful day and history lesson . Safe travel ☺️💕

[@yaminthegrey]

Hari Om First, so glad you are up and about again Snow!!! I am sure, also, that you will have seen the news that this endless rain is just EVERYWHERE over the continent (and reaching the UK). It truly has been dismal. But you are surely making the best of it and that is all one can do. That visit to Lascaux was tremendous and those historic streets everywhere... what fun to have folks to share it with, too. YAM xx

[@LilyWasHereMB]

How amazing it must have been and a very special day for you meeting up with family so far from home; who could imagine?. When you were showing the Lascaux caves, I was thinking how good it was that the French scanned the caves and sealed them back up. In the US, we'd have turned such a wonder into an amusement park. On a personal note, love Betsy's long white hair.

[@sharoncochran8508]

I like that the people used their talents and resources to build beautiful, elaborate church buildings to honor our Creator.

Oh wow! you crossed over the area where we used to live until 2 years ago, La Creuse! We lived there for 6 years, we were 2 hours from Lascaux and you know what? we NEVER visited it. But we did visit Padirac caves.an hour east of there, and whilst there were no drawings sadly, it was still an amazing visit. Well done to you, you work so so hard to bring us these videos with brilliant commentary. Thank you so much. Safe travels!

Snow, so glad you're in warmer weather. Anything under 40 degrees and damp just makes breathing harder. Enjoy heading farther south!

[@kimbrandom2789]

And yet another amazing video! I too rarely get to be a passenger so I know what you mean. My son and I went exploring a ghost town in our region a few weeks ago and I told him what a treat it was to not be driving! I got to sight see the whole way and it was fabulous.

[@michelleclark9445]

Good morning Snow and Curt ☀️ Welcome back, or almost back to full health, Snow. As much as we appreciated Curt taking on the sole tour guide role, you were missed! I'm happy for you guys and jealous, all at the same time. La Grotte de Lascaux has been a dream of mine since learning of them in my art history classes in high school. It's amazing what they were able to create on cave walls using just the raw materials their environment provided. What an incredible opportunity to walk through a recreation of the Grotte and to visit the museum that explains its history and what they believe the drawings represent. Curt, how cool was the timing of your travels that you were able to meet up with your cousin Mike and his wife, Betsy. I can only imagine how lonely it must be on the road away from family and friends. Hopefully you'll have more meet ups in the future. Safe travels, 🤗🇨🇦

[@monasantos3346]

Wow the caves are amazing! What a treat to meet up with family. So glad you are feeling better Snow. Love seeing the felines. God bless
