France

In the summer of 2017, I had gotten the crazy idea of cycling the Mont Ventoux 🙂 To get some altitude meters in my legs, I decided to ride the Gorges de la Nesque the day before. Second to only the Gorges du Verdon in the Provence, the Gorges de la Nesque is a...

Coming from the Calanques, via the Camargue, Arles and Aix-en-Provence, it was time for what turned out one of the most difficult things I have ever done. I never had it on my bucketlist, but now that I have done it, I am sure it belonged there all along. Cycling Mont...

I drove through the French Pyrenees with Bas at the end of the summer 2017. As we both really love hiking and the outdoors, we'd thought to give hiking in the Pyrenees a try! And man, it was worth it 😀 I read about the Vallee du Louron and the area around...

I was travelling with Bas in the campervan through the French Pyrenees early September 2017 and I was kind of getting so tired of the cold weather! So we decided it was time to move onto the coast. In a few days, Bas would be flying back home from...

In the summer of 2017, I visited the Camargue in France. For some reason, the land of the white Camargue horses had always been on my wishlist and now I had the chance 😀 I visited the Camargue with my campervan and got to explore the area quite well! The Camargue,...

After I spent some time in the mountains of the Jura Region and the Gorges du Verdon, it was time for some beach! After spending some time with friends in Toulon, I took off to Cassis. I spent one night in a lovely camper spot in Cuges Les Pins, before...

In August 2017, I spent 5 days in the beautiful area of the Gorges Du Verdon. I had seen a video on Facebook a couple of months earlier and was determined to go here 🙂 I was just a couple of weeks too late to see the amazing lavender fields, so I focused on cycling...

Leaving Besancon, it was time to get back to the French countryside! In my Lonely Planet “France’s Best Road Trips” (Buy this awesome travel guide here!) I had read about a road trip through the Jura region and decided this was definitely an area for me :-). Famous...

Living out of your camper or campervan and finding a free camping spot in France is great! There are many great spots and some have good facilities and amazing views. But recently, I arrived at a spot that didn’t feel quite right. It was a large parkinglot of a...

After having left The Province de Namur in Belgium, I quickly moved into France. I was on the way to the city of Besancon and had a couple of (planned and unplanned) stops before I got there. Montmedy I had read about the Citadelle of Montmedy in one of my travel...
