Hi Paul it’s a great place to visit plenty of things going on there 👍many thanks for your comment as always it’s appreciated 👍
Our turbo inlet hose popped its jubilee clip just before Le Mans … found the local FIAT dealer who agreed to help us out the next day … it was around closing time so we parked up on their forecourt, behind gates and plugged into their electricity … all mended next day . Whilst waiting they were preparing a racing Alpha Romeo, which went off on trade plates.
Heading off south after repairs, we drove around part of the 24hrs Le Mans circuit, which is normal roads when not racing. … very smooth sweeping bends ..ideal for getting the back out …
Hi Mike. Wow what a fantastic experience and how kind were they 😊😊
Blooming heck, I would of died with those steps. But wow what a fabulous old town. I’m like you the new wouldn’t of interested me.xx another lovely vlog thank you very much. ❤

Thanks for the info Julie I will do just that 👍
Just to say thanks for your blog on LeMans we are staying in the free Aires tonight loved the old town. The old van full of rubbish is still in the car park lol. Thanks Colin and Julie 😊
Hi both, so glad your there, it’s beautiful isn’t it ?
Can’t believe he’s still there 🤷🏼♀️
Have a wonderful time 😊😊
I must say, it's a really odd experience watching a visit of my city through the eyes of two other people who aren't from here. I'm a french guy, I was born and lived all my life in Le Mans, so I always knew everything about the cathedral, the ancient gallo-roman wall and all the history behind it (I've been to pretty much all of Le Mans main museums when I was in grade school). But watching you guys discover it and learning it yourself, I felt like discovering it again! It was really funny recognizing all theses places that I know so well while watching your video. If only I came across your channel earlier, I would've come and greet you in person! Great video, love wathcing them!
Hi we really enjoyed our stay in Le Mans it’s a very interesting place maybe one day we will revisit 👍thank you so much for your comment
Thank you for visiting my city 🥰🤩
Thank you for having us it’s a lovely city 👍
We are more or less following you and will be in San sabastion in about two weeks and will put le man's on the list.
Brilliant safe travels and enjoy 👍
always a laff rob has similar humour to me,laughed at the rob and lynn sign gag, my wife is a similar size i bought her at a garden centre came with a red pointed hat and a fishing rod..lol, lynn is correct on the way she says le mans i'm a motorsport fanatic love watching 24hr on tv every year , should have took the van down the mulsanne straight and got the back end out all the best on the rest of your journey.... Yah Can't Wack It !!
Hi David you always have to have a laugh that’s what life is all about 👍I’ll tell Lynn she was right begrudgingly 😂😂many thanks for your comment it’s appreciated 👍👍
Stunning vlog a location guys 🍾🍻👍
Hi Star, and yes it really is absolutely stunning 🤩
Wonderful video guys ❤happy new year from Australia
Thank you and happy new year to you too 👍
I’m always intrigued by people slowing down on motorways to look at a car accident or something similar.
To be honest most people don’t have a choice but to slow down as everyone else is 🤷♂️
Get little everything, oops I mean legs to run round le mans,will give you another 2 weeks lol 😆 😂
Hi Paul. That made us both chuckle. 🤣🤣
@@RobandLynnontour 😆
Excellent vid as usual. We ar 30 minutes down the road and heading for the same car park tomorrow.
Thanks Dave we wish you a fantastic time 👍
Great vlog, they've put the price up of the water services since we stopped at that aire but it was also out of order then.
Hi both, thank you, we couldn’t believe actually how much the water was 😳 but it was working
Hope you are both keeping well 😊😊
We are both good, some personal health issues going on but once sorted we hope to be back out adventuring soon
Thanks
Thanks so much your too kind 👍
Hi Lynn and Rob. Hope you are enjoying being back in the UK. We have just arrived in Le Mans in the exact same parking space as your stay in the free Aire. Looking forward to our walk around the city.
Beginning of a trip around France, Portugal and Spain.
Have been avidly watching all your videos and love your sense of humour.
Just a quick question, were you happy staying her overnight and did you feel safe? Road a bit busy at the moment but might quieten down later.
Liam & Sherrell.
Hi both, Le Mans is beautiful, and we felt 100% safe there, had no problems at all, hope you have an amazing trip
Happy With That 👏🤣🤣🤣
We are happy with that as well Kev 😂👍👍
So much history and the cathedral is beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you for watching Karen 👍
The cathedral was wonderful the old town was awesome what a great place to visit .
Impressive how you took on those stairs Lyn & Mavis ☺️
Hi it really is a great place to visit Lynn slept well after running up those steps 😂😂mavis wasn’t tired at all 😂👍
Hi to you two, nail on the head, a fantastic country, we lived there for 15 years , lovely people, we motorhome fulltime and back over to France soon.
Hi Mike we can’t wait to get back over there Europe has so much to offer we wish you all the very best in your travels 👍
Great vlog, thanks both, our van is a little higher at the back also, often level inside when on a slight uploads slope front end up. Tony and Julie.
Hi Rob, Lynn and Mave.
Ohh what a beautiful French Town, my Roberts eyes nearly pooped out when you said Le Mans as he’s a race car fanatic 😅
Lovely walk and some of those buildings were “ unbelievable “
How well did Mavis go on those steps, I think you should enter her in the olympics 😅her little legs can move quick bless her.
Thanks again, safe travels and Love Always 💜💜🇦🇺🇦🇺
Hi vicki it’s a stunning place to visit it a shame we didn’t have time to visit more places in Le Mans maybe next time lynns little legs did well with those steps as well many thanks for your comment as always 👍
That old van was there earlier in the year when we were there. The old guy was outside talking to himself. 😁
Hi Jason, awww it sounds like he maybe could do with some help, bless him
Le Mans looks like a stunning place , thanks for taking us there on your hols
Hi Doug and thank you for watching 👍
What a beautiful place and I love pictures of you both on posts everywhere you go 😂 Lynn those steps were unbelievable ❤
Hi both lynns little legs coped quite well with those steps 😂😂😂
I've toured a lot of France, but never Le Man's, which looks like a GREAT place to visit....‘Happy Holidays’ 👍 👍 👍
Well Ken, you’d better get back out there because you missed a gem. Wishing you a very happy holidays too 😊😊
Great vlog, kept me smiling all the way. Loved Mavis jump, the architecture, the banter.
Hi Donna, thank you, so glad we’ve made you smile, it means a lot.
Take care 😊😊
Another great vlog , great seeing the pictures of you both around the town😂, thanks for taking us with you on your tour, will definitely go to Le Mans, and the circuit when we visit 👍🏎🏎xx
Hi Colin & Julie Le Mans really is a great place to visit 👍thanks so much for watching and many thanks for your comment it’s appreciated
Another great vlog guys
Thank you 👍👍
Great video again, wish we had time for a look around all those years ago. Only been to Le Mans once. On our way from Salou to Cherbourg on a Sunday with our caravan. Motorways were not completed back then. Only one petrol station open on the outskirts of souilliac on the other side of the road - nah were not doing that (poor decision). Found a 24 hour station in Le Mans with red light flashing about 2 in the morning. Filled up and parked up around the corner
Hi Bob, thank you 😊
It is a shame you didn’t get the chance as it’s such a beautiful place to visit,
We absolutely loved it there, maybe one day eh.
great vlog happy holidays
Hi Mark, and thank you.
Happy holidays to you too 😊😊
Go Mavis ❤
She’s a little star ⭐️
What a stunning place we will be stopping there i think only for one night sadly. Happy Holidays
Hi Steve. It really is such a beautiful place to visit, hope you manage to stop there on your way home,
Take care and of course
Happy holidays 😊😊
And they have a pretty good 24 hour motor race in June every year (well except for 2020, 2021 and a couple of years back in the ‘40’s due to the European punchup) I’ve been going every year since 1988, and I agree that cathedral is awesome. There’s a fair bit of history around that part of the city of Le Mans. Plus they have a very good tram system to get around on.
Tickets, camp site and ferry all booked ready for this year, can’t wait for June. Camping right by the track bit noisy during the race, but that’s the atmosphere. Most of the track is normally public road south of Le Mans, the main road to Tours forms the Mulsanne straight where the cars used to do 230mph, they’re pretty close to the same speed again now but there’s two chicanes now. If you’d travelled around that area a bit you might have noticed some yellow and blue painted curbing and four layer Armco barriers, if you did you’ve been on the race track.
Hi Charlie, thank you so much for the information, we hope you have an amazing time.
It sounds absolutely awesome 😎
Le Mans avait l'air fascinant. Bonnes vacances😊😊
It really is Pete 👍
The old architecture is stunning. I'm sick of the sight of B&M style buildings, so thanks for showing us round. Exquisite would be a better word. 👍🏻
Hi and yes we absolutely agree, you can’t beat the old stuff, the architecture was so much better than today’s modern ideas, and yes that’s a perfect word 😊
@@RobandLynnontour Safe travels 😉
Loved Le Mans, with regard to the walls I'd guess the lower part is Roman & the upper mediaeval they would originally have had a ballista ( large crossbow) mounted on top of each bastion.
The best example of Roman over here i think is Porchester castle nr Portsmouth built around 280AD the most complete walls in this country.
Did enjoy Mavis on Turbo up those steps 😁😁👍
Hi Andy and thanks for the information it’s appreciated 👍 mavis was like a little whippet running up those steps bless her 😂😂
What a lovely place 😍
I think I'll definitely try and plan that in as a stop on the way back.
As for synonyms for stunning you could use extraordinary, remarkable, outstanding 😁
Happy holidays both 💜xxx
Hi Suzy, yes definitely stop there if you can is extraordinarily remarkable and especially outstanding 🥰🥰
Take care, looking forward to watching more of your amazing adventures 🥰🥰xx
Thank you for this. I visited Le Mans when I went on a French exchange aged 14 or 15. You definitely caught the essence of the place I remember but I wish I could go back now and tell my younger self to take in the architecture and history. I could write a book about 5he 2 weeks I experienced! Could you use spectacular or fantastic or incredible. Take care Gill
Hi Gill, I also went on a French exchange, they wouldn’t allow that nowadays would they ?
Just dropped us off to be picked up by a family and took off for two weeks 😳
It really is such a spectacular place 😊
Take care 😊
Is this near or where the 24 hour race is? Looks very nice Olde Worlde :-)
Hi Peter yes it is close 👍👍
Amazing vlog So olde and beautiful and you Rob hehe btw Whats your job /u have to do ??? Been watching yr vids for hrs 2day Older ones etc Love you both and the doggy o f c XXX

Hi Linda we absolutely have loved Spain & France and we are so happy you have enjoyed our tour too 👍👍
That does look like a lovely old town. Well done running up those steps Lynn. Hope your legs are OK x
Hi Denise. Great place, and yes but I did ache a bit the next day 🤣🤣
the architecture in Le Mans is amazing the craftsmanship is next level another great vlog 😀
Hi and yes it really is on another level, such a stunning place
Thank you 😊
We spend the summer in Vendee its great for beaches and restaurants 2022 average cost £107 site fees a week with EHU where we will be going 2023
Hi Raymond. That sounds amazing, we will have a look
Thank you for you comment 😊😊
You showed the blue sign and I’m sorry Lyn but I laughed,❤❤
😂😂😂
Should have taken off your cap in the Cathedral😉
Hi Steve it never crossed my mind but you are right I should of 👍
That was a fabulous vlog I really enjoyed it, I'm heading back that way so now contemplating staying there two nights, I stayed on that car park last year and it's a great park up although water is ridiculous €8 is stupid, but everything else is fine. Have a safe journey back to the UK it goes too quickly doesn't it ❤️
Hi we would definitely recommend two nights, there is so much to see, just make sure you fill up with water before you get there, as you said €8 is ridiculous
Yes sadly it really does 😩
Le man's is pronounced le mauns, just thought I'd put it to you before rob does.
Hi and thanks for that 😊😊
@@RobandLynnontour we live in york and before rob said that it reminds him of york, I said to my wife it looks like york ,well the bar walls around york we're built by William the conquerer so there is a connection.
