    Thank you very much for your lovely movies from your France journey! We are a Swedish couple that have spent 2 weeks in France every year since 2012. By car, rented mobile home, our own caravan and the last years by car again (combined with overnights at hotels and B&B's). We are closing up to retirement and will buy a campervan within a year or two. We love France and we also recognize your challengies! We are used with the right side driving but there are still other challenges. :) France is fantastic and we will continue to follow you! Br, Johnny & Ewa from Sweden

    It's lovely to be able to sit outside your van and just relax. It's a rare treat when you're touring and such a beautiful outlook too. You're definitely right about the cost of campsites here in the UK. Most now around £30 and we're even charged £25 a night for one in Scotland. It was with EHU but when we told them we didn't need it. They replied It's still £25 because it's provided! 😬🐕🚙

    • @getawaygeese
      @getawaygeese  Před 6 měsíci

      Yes a lot to learn I don’t think the value is seen to a local area - we’re parked up in Donegal 0.33 euro per hour so that 2.4 per day !!! That’s all
      We will be here two days - buying food / had drinks / lunches - they understand the value that we bring
      Charge 25 per night you don’t feel like spending in the local shop
      Rant over lol

    It always makes me chuckle a little when Europeans refer to teeny tiny patches of trees as “forests”, when 86°F (30°C) is considered “hot”, and how a “long” drive is a mere 2 hrs. 😊

    With regard to the outside table, we use our internal table outside by using a fold out Christmas tree stand in which I have put a hole in each leg and use tent pegs to hold it down.

      Aires are generally run by the local council, the aim being to encourage tourists to shop/eat locally.
      Some of them don't encourage "camping behaviour" like setting up a table and chairs.

    • @getawaygeese
      @getawaygeese  Před 7 měsíci

      Yep I think it works to generally at the edge of towns and villages - we rarely put our chairs out but it seemed ok here as many wee doing the same I guess due to the space. I think every other Aire as you say didn’t do it - thanks for watching

      Agree entirely - I spend locally so like to think it keeps people employed to - it’s in the dna in many places to have a simple facility with reasonable charges - some free of course.
