The Slaws are on their early summer holiday to France. They leave Honfleur and head for Pontorson. It's an interesting journey as Slaw tries to deviate from Mrs Slaw's maps and ends up in the middle of nowhere.
141 miles and 8 euros 20 cents on the tolls and they safely arrive at Camping Haliotis.

Using the ACSI card saves them over 5 euros per night off the list price of the campsite. More details can be found here www.campingcard.co.uk
The Slaws visit the famous UNESCO world heritage site at Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy. They cycle there down the Couesnon. An easy 6 mile 45 minute ride and there's plenty of doggycam of Billy and Jessie in the Happy Trailer. Slaw gets fantastic drone footage of the mount with his DJI Mini 3 Pro.
The Slaws use Solbio in Helga. It's the world's only 100% natural toilet fluid.

Thank you Julie! Very kind words x
Most enjoyable vlogs
Thanks Ian!
brilliant
Thank you!
We were there on Thursday and it was heaving. We arrived at 9.45 and the queue fir the shuttle bus was hurrendous a lovely place to visit tho.
It does get very busy! That’s one of the reasons we went on the bikes 👍🏻
Really enjoying your videos!
But Mrs Slaw you have to be Jane Mcdonald in disguise or her sister 😅
Thanks Mark! It has been said before 🤦🏻♀️
Really enjoyable watch, loved it wet our appetites for owe visit later this year, thanks Pete
Thanks Pete! Have a great trip 🚍☀️
Mont-saint-michel was breathtakingly stunning! Slaw's drone footage was, yet again, exceptional. Slaw was certainly full of beans jumping out of Helga on 'the next day'😂 and Mrs Slaw, you looked beautiful in your summer dress. I did chuckle thinking of Slaw being harpooned on the beach....touchè indeed Mrs Slaw😂 Sending hugs to the adorable Jessie and Billy 🐶🐶 x
Thank you Peta! It was a lovely day ❤️
Been all over Europe in a motorhome but my heart always belongs to France, its a country with it all, mountains, lakes, beaches and forests, it is the ideal motorhome campervan country - they really cater for the mobile traveller, it may not have the some of the gorgeous scenery of the like of Norway or Switzerland but they lack the other things France has that captures your heart - enjoy the Holiday Mr & Mrs Slaw
Thank you! France is a fantastic country to visit! We’ve been holidaying here since 1996 en famille ❤️
You can see why most French vacation in France
Normandy is the place I'd visit if I ever found my brave pants . The tiny streets were so quaint and pretty. I was so pleased to see you'd uploaded ❤
Thanks Lisa! Put them pants on and get over here ❤️
@The Slaw’s Adventures looking forward to seeing the food I'm a very traditional eater not very adventurous
The mighty Merguez - I have some in the freezer from our last trip, you just can't get them in the UK
I know! We’ll be filling the freezer on the way back 😝
Another brilliant vlog, scenery, food, weather just glorious, thankyou as allways, xx
Thank you Linda! xxx
One of the most enjoyable travel vids I've seen in a long time. Thanks very much Slaws! 👍
Thanks Tommo! We aim to please ❤️
Love Mont San Michel and St Malo.
Beautiful ❤️
what a lovely day with you again in France, and the weather is 'gorgeous .Slaw with two pairs of glasses on his head was funny. we are going to your Happy Place tomorrow for four nights so will have to catch up with you later. Enjoy.xx
Thanks Margaret! Enjoy Castleton. Get up on the Great Ridge ❤️
I visited many years ago in 1976, it was so beautiful its somewhere ive always wanted to return too. Great video guys ❤
Thanks Jo!
Oo I’ve not been here since I was a kid. We loved travelling with you. You guys eat well!!eating into beer time - brilliant! Yep it’s me on the maps too!! Oh wow not been there since I was 11!! We need to visit here, it’s stunning and I am remembering so much. Slaw so drew the massive member on the beach! Pouisson and chips - amazing! Looks delish. Absolutely stunning drone work guys. We love doggo cam! Great bbq. You guys live the van life so well. Cheers 🍻
Thank you! Yes, we like our food and our alcohol 🤣
Brilliant !....cheers 🍻👍
Thanks David! 🚍☀️
We watched your vlogs in the wrong order 😆 those castle shots on the drone are just wow!! Love the dog trolley our dogs would love that! 😊 xxx
Ha ha!! Hopefully they made sense in that order! Billy and Jessie love their trailer ❤️
Another great vlog. Mont. Saint-Michel looks amazing, another one on the list. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! It was a lovely, if very busy, day 🚍☀️
Glad you have good weather, we visited only 12 days ago and it was still quite a chilly wind. Wish we were back but reliving our trip through your vlogs but in reverse. Drone footage is brilliant 👍👍
Thanks Mike! We’re having amazing weather ☀️☀️☀️
Very nice video! Thank you for sharing 🌻🌻🌻
Thank you! 🚍☀️
Great video thanks for sharing. Love this place. Remember taking the kids there when they were little and actually parking the caravan up on the car park (yes really you could drive right up to it at one time)adjacent before the major works to construct the bridge.
Thank you! Wow! I can believe it. Times have changed 😘
Love the dogs , in the trailer,so good they are ,great vlogs , must find a pub .
Thank you! They are very well travelled dogs 👍🏻
Thanks we both love your vlogs .I have been watching all your last Europe trips as we plan to do a month in France end of August. I now have some great locations to visit.
Thanks Ray! Would you believe, Mrs Slaw doesn’t have a road map for Greece! Only a travel guide 🤣
I always check polarity before plugging my old van in to see if needed a crossover cable. CEE socket with exposed earth you can put in Europlug upside down reverse polarity. Look like a good trip.
Thank you!
Mont St Michael is firmly on our bucket list! We visited St Michael's Mount in Cornwall in 2019 and so we need to complete the set!
Make sure you do! It’s a stunning place ❤️
Many thanks guys.that saves me wondering what that place was like. It’s a lot easier from the sofa than climbing all those steps.
Thanks Deryck! It was hard going climbing up 🥵
Just arrived in Saint Benoit des ondes just along the road from there!, hope your having a great time cheers 🍻.
Thank you! We are! Enjoy your trip 🚍☀️
Looks beautiful 😮 you are still ahead of us 🚴🏾 we are there next week. Great video guys, looks like your having a great time and the pups are too 🐕 🐕 😃 safe onward travels 💙🚐 Trev n Sue

Your trip so far looks lovely. We've only seen France in the winter 😁xx
Thank you! Hopefully you’ll get to see France in a different season soon xx
You should have gone on the coast road from caen to mont St Michel
It's a lovely drive
Maybe next time! 🚍☀️
Nice tour vlog,we are looking to go to Greece next year but don't like our sat nav ,is Mrs slaw and her map for hire ,three weeks next year 50pence a day and all found?❤😂😂
Thanks for the reply. Your campsite in ill de re are you pre booking that one , or just turning up . I will be heading there early July, with nothing booked . You give great bits of information on your videos , about the towns , the maps , the campsites etc , great material . Thanks Gareth .
Thanks Gareth! Glad you find the vlogs helpful. We booked the pitch on Île de Ré a few months before as we got an early bird discount. It was very busy when we arrived as it was a French holiday - Pentecôte. However. It really quietened off after that. You can check availability for your dates online. If you really want an emplacement privilege, I would book in advance to be sure 👍🏻
@@TheSlawsAdventures thank-you Mrs Slaw, enjoy your travels .
I glanced at the name of the camp site and thought it it said "camping Halitosis" lol 😮💨😮💨must be the garlic, there's a specsaver joke coming !!.
Ha ha!! Yes, it’s one to read very carefully 😝
Hi, I love the car seats ye use for the dogs, would you mind telling me where you got them please.
Thanks Fergus! They’re Kurgo travel seats and we got them from Pets at Home 👍🏻
@@TheSlawsAdventures thank you for getting back to me.
Super vlog guys, so jealous... 😢 We covered Brittany last summer coming in from cherbourg side. We visited north Normandy over as far as bayeux and then all of Brittany. Pontorson, Dinard, Rennes, Vanne, where our favorites from our trip. Enjoy your trip and we will keep watching 😊
Thank you! We’re having a fantastic time! We’ve been to places we’ve visited before and we’re now exploring new places 🚍☀️
Great vlog Mr and Mrs Slaw, really enjoyed it. I love it that you always have your dogs with you wherever you go and they are never left behind. Beautiful doggies👍
Thanks Jane! Billy and Jessie are the stars of our show ❤️
Great Vlog guys. Still one of our favourite vloggers. Great drone footage. Fantastic trip. Can’t wait for my turn with my Kazy. X
Kazy “n” Garth Adventures
Thanks Garth! Being in the van abroad is fantastic 🚍☀️🇫🇷
@@TheSlawsAdventures yeah I can’t wait. Next year here we come x
Hello , loving the French trip vlogs as looking to do next year fingers crossed . My question is if not already been asked is what is the map book your using please that has the roads colour marked for free or tolls etc , thanks in advance
Hi Tom, glad your enjoying the trip! I’m currently using the AA Easy Read France 2022 road atlas 👍🏻
Great video . May I ask , where are the dog leads from , the ones in the ground , stakes . Thanks
Thanks Gareth! They are Life 360 stakes and we got them from Amazon 👍🏻
That’s OK mate as long as you have Mrs Slaw with the bible ( a road atlas ) it’s great through
Hi guys we really enjoying your reviews ,you know how to have a great time ,sick all the vegans to be true ,youse ,by the curb,butlers empire ,and northerners on tour ❤
Thanks Graeme! We love life! Including meat and alcohol 😝
Ha ha Slaw. All I can say is that it is a good job that you aren't staying there for long, otherwise they are going to need a much bigger boat - oops I mean re-cycle bin. Drive carefully, from Steve, Halifax. You know which one.
Thanks Steve! 🚍☀️
Fish at lunchtime looked spot on 👍.....which one.of the dogs has always got pole position ?
It was delicious Terry! It’s Jessie who always gets herself right out. She bullies Billy too 😝
Great Vlog guys you cant beat France 😊 hows your Airride? whatched your Vlog having it installed, rang em up and mine is being fitted this Wednesday, thanks for the recommendation......oh yes I mentioned you and got me discount 👍😁
Thank you! You’ll be really pleased with your suspension. Gary and Rob will do a great job 👍🏻
Great video as always, we are going to Normadcy in a few weeks, can I ask you if the ACSI card is worth it, and is Solbio as good as its made out?
Hi Chris, if you are travelling out of season ACSI is definitely worth it as you get a discount at partner sites. We’ve been using Solbio now for a couple of years and wouldn’t use anything else 👍🏻
Are you not scare incase ur doggies jumps out off the trailer on the bikes. My heart is jumping kipper they almost hanging out of the trailer
Hi Janette, they are both tethered in the trailer at strategic lengths. They can get front legs out but that’s all 👍🏻
What make's your windbreak? Like the idea of poles instead of guy ropes.
Hi Paul, we have a Kampa Dometic Pro 3 (not an air one) The sturdiest one we’ve ever had 👍🏻
@@TheSlawsAdventures Thanks.. Will have a look ...
Did you have to pre book the site by mont Michel? Thanks
Hi Gareth, no. We’ve been in September and May and just turned up on both occasions 👍🏻
Lovely vlog , was that a set menu ?😊
Hi Ray it was! We had a couple of choices for each course, but we both chose the same 🤣
I have a lotus grill question I have just bought the XL but when I put the meat on I dont get the sizzle like you do with a normal BBQ. Am I doing something wrong do you think. Turn airflow to max for hot correct? You guys looking like you having a blast.
Hi Paul.
Yes if you turn up the fan it will get hotter so should sizzle. Maybe not as much as a normal charcoal barbecue as you are using less charcoal. With mine I just cook steady away. If you put things on the plate in the middle they tend to sizzle.
Talk about a tourist trap.....
Massively!
Heading to France in a few weeks, what maps are you using Mrs Slaw? Thanks
Hi Colette, I’m currently using the AA Easy Ride France 2022 road atlas 👍🏻
Are dogs allowed in more places if they are in a backpack on your back?
Hi, I don’t think so. It seems to be a blanket no dog rule. But to be fair, we never asked the question
Can I ask what your bbq please
Hi Mark, it’s a LotusGrill. We’ve had it about seven years now. We reviewed it in this vlog 👍🏻 czcams.com/video/siCkZxqB2FM/video.html
hi what map do you use? thanks
Hi, currently it’s the AA Easy Read France 2022.
Thank u . Happy travels 😊
