Provence – Route Map

Provence – Route Map

One of the most poetic and diverse regions of France has surely captured many a heart – ours included. After nine weeks wandering this enigmatic Provence countryside, we fell in love with its mountains, gorges, villages built into the rocks and coastline.

Perhaps Provence is most famous for its lavender and its celebrity status along the Côte d’Azur – French Riviera where bling will outshine even the most sparking water. Although Provence has so much more depth offering you colour, texture and flamingoes.  And how could you forget the eight Les Plus Beaux Village de France that are just waiting for you to succumb to their charm? Who would have thought that one region could have so many ways to captivate its visitor, leaving them surely wanting more.

From the Camargue with its wild white horses, bulls and salt flats to the deep valleys of the Gorges du Verdon and De Loup to the craggy coastline that commands the respect of the richest of the rich – Provence will delight and amaze.  Check out our highlights from the last two years in this interactive map that lists our camping options and must-see spots by clicking the icons.

This is one part of France that deserves your time, your admiration and your adventurous spirits and I defy you not to fall in love….

6 month mashup- Part 2

Well, a whole 12 months has gone past and we’re still alive. WHAT A YEAR! 13,000 miles plus travelled, 10 countries visited.It’s been a blast As we sit watching the flamingoes feeding in the Delta D’ebro just south of Tarragona in Spain Ms Moneypenny turned to me and asked ‘What’s the best bit for you about our new lifestyle’? I replied immediately, ‘The variety’. Having just finished the second 6 month mashup video we’ve had plenty of variety, that’s for sure. We hope for many more but now this is a brief reminder of what we did in the second half of our first year on the road..
