I do like the look of the French Royal Horse - Drawn Carriages.
Beloved King Louis.
Love the camping carparks, shame we don't have them. Thanks for sharing👍Mark & Coral
Hi guys, hope you are well. France is easy in the Motorhome for sure. Some of the stop overs are better than others of course , but the Camping Car Parks brand have a consistent approach. Thanks for watching Helen and Martin.
Fantastic history and gorgeous photos! Thank you for Aire information helpful too - Glad you are having a wonderful trip.. see you in a bit XxRR
Hey guys thanks very much for watching , we have hit south of Alicante now so getting some sunshine thankfully. Hope you're having a great time still. Helen and Martin
Hi Helen and Martin. Lovely video - Incheville looked so picturesque, and the chateau was amazing. Enjoyed the history around it and the area, and the photography was just superb ! Smashing video and looking forward to more. Thank you. george and Trish.
Thanks , sorry for bombarding you with replies to all your comments at once , just taking advantage of availability of WIFI we have just been in the Mountains where it was a little iffy. Beautiful is France isn't - for photography it's something else. Thanks for watching H and M

Beauty and the Beast (French: La Belle et la Bête) is a fairy tale written by French novelist Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve and published in 1740 in La Jeune Américaine et les contes marins (The Young American and Marine Tales). Her lengthy version was abridged, rewritten, and published by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont in 1756 in Magasin des enfants (Children's Collection) to produce the version most commonly retold and later by Andrew Lang in the Blue Fairy Book of his Fairy Book series in 1889. The fairy tale was influenced by Ancient Greek stories such as "Cupid and Psyche" from The Golden Ass, written by Lucius Apuleius Madaurensis in the 2nd century AD, and The Pig King, an Italian fairytale published by Giovanni Francesco Straparola in The Facetious Nights of Straparola around 1550.
Wonderful location and very informative. It looks like you are having a fantastic time. Thanks for sharing a great video.
We are really enjoying the trip Sylvia , we are in Spain now and enjoying the sunshine. The Chateau was a high point on the way down. Best wishes Helen and Martin
Great footage guys and what a location. Safe travels,, Sue 😊🚐
It was tops Sue and we had it to ourselves at 5pm - it was terrific we snapped away in isolation. Poppy enjoyed the space and the freedom to. Thanks for watching best wishes Helen and Martin
The Chateau looks amazing. Glad you have the lovely weather. I like those park ups and not badly priced. Great pictures, Looking forward to the rest of your adventure.
Thanks a lot guys, hope the van sale goes well . Thanks for watching Helen and Martin
You’ve got it sussed!! It’s all in the planning and really interesting to see you travelling abroad.
France seems really well equipped to cater for travellers. Looking forward to seeing more. Take care! Helen & Dave
Thanks for watching guys , we are natural planners I am afraid not big fans of winging it, although each to their own of course. France is well catered for camping no doubt but we have hit Spain now and enjoying the warmer weather. Hope you are both well best wishes Helen and Martin

Hi Guys , great to hear from you, we particularly enjoyed the Chateau stopover. The Camping Car Parks option for aires we find is a great tool to have in your back pocket, it just provides options for when you want to guarantee a location in France.
Just love watching your videos absolutely first class. Glad you visited the chateau as were off to Domme in the Dordogne for 2 weeks end of June and I’ve picked our stopover site Sandaya Chauteau des marais which is nearby so we can visit the Chauteau Chambord. Thank you for showing this and stunning photographs
Thanks very much that's very kind of you , we really enjoyed Chateau Chambord . It was a fleeting visit through France on the way to Spain but we do love France especially the Loire Valley. Thanks very much for watching and have a great trip in June. Best wishes Helen and Martin .
What a beautiful place 🥰. We are yet to venture into France, so thank you for sharing the information 👍 Stunning pictures as always Martin
Thanks France is awesome you'll love it. Are you ok with the issue of reverse polarity the adaptors that you might need - if not DM us via messenger. Thanks for watching best wishes Helen and Martin
Louis XV (15 February 1710 - 10 May 1774), known as Louis the Beloved (French: le Bien-Aimé), was King of France from 1 September 1715 until his death in 1774. He succeeded his great-grandfather Louis XIV at the age of five. Until he reached maturity (then defined as his 13th birthday) on 15 February 1723, the kingdom was ruled by Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, as Regent of France. Cardinal Fleury was chief minister from 1726 until his death in 1743, at which time the king took sole control of the kingdom. (Beauty and the Beast. Originally Published in 1740).
Very interesting Rob - you like your history we can tell . We like our history to , thanks for watching.
Thanks. You're welcome.
Very nice place and lovely vlog. What a lovely place to stay and love the parking aires why oh why don’t we have places to stop like that in England
I know what you mean , it's just so much easier here to get parked up they are really geared up for us. Thanks for watching best wishes Helen and Martin
Variants of the tale are known across Europe. In France, for example, Zémire and Azor is an operatic version of the story, written by Marmontel and composed by Grétry in 1771, which had enormous success into the 19th century. Zémire and Azor is based on the second version of the tale. Amour pour amour (Love for love), by Pierre-Claude Nivelle de La Chaussée, is a 1742 play based on de Villeneuve's version. According to researchers at universities in Durham and Lisbon, the story originated about 4,000 years ago.
Cheers Rob , thanks for watching mate
You're welcome.

Lovely vlog thank you. We are off to France / Belgium/Germany- Rhine area in the summer and although we have a sat nav I like to use real maps as well for planning a route. Just wondering what you use for route planning. There are several map books available not sure which to go with.
Hi Jo, thanks for the question, I use several map books. I have a large Philips European map book so I can look at a full route and see the “big” picture. For more detail I use both Philips A4 size books or A4 size Michelin books. Both makes do a great job but the Michelin ones have laminated pages so you can use marker pens on them. You can’t beat a good map. 😀 happy planning. 😁 Helen x
@@HelenandMartinsTreks Thanks Helen, certainly like the laminated pages idea so that’s what I’ve ordered. Hope you’re enjoying your trip we look forward to watching your future adventures. Thanks again for the advice.
Hi great help we are going to be 1st timers in Europe bit nervous .. camping car park do you need tap connector with screw thread ? Also would you recommend a dashcam? Merci beaucoup
Thanks for watching , I’m sure you’ll be fine . It’s much easier driving in Europe. I have a bag of tap adaptors of different sizes that I have collected over the years , but you will need some. Amazon did have them. Have you got the electric adaptors covered to. Camping Car Parks should be fine , but some of the aires and sites re still using two pin connectors so it’s good to carry an adaptor and a reverse polarity meter and adaptor too. Any other queries feel free to give us a shout . Good luck. Helen and Martin
@@HelenandMartinsTreks thanks for that advice your blogs are great to watch
Hi great vlog, what's the name of the park up near the Chateau?
Hi Jon it’s on the estate itself - here is the what three words reference- Here is a precise what3words address, made of 3 random words. Every 3 metre square in the world has its own unique what3words address.

@Helen & Martin's Treks that's great thanks, what3words is so much easier! Carry on travelling
Can you stay in a caravan at those Aire parking sites
Sadly generally not , it was seeing those aires and realising the convenience of them while travelling through France with our Caravan and was the final push for us to swop t a Motorhome. Not the only reason but the icing on the cake as it wasn't easy for us to give up our caravan which we loved. Thanks for watching best wishes Helen and Martin.
