Nr. 49: Vanlife Frankreich: C’est la vie

354 Tage Van Life: wir überqueren die Grenze zwischen Spanien und Frankreich und biegen gleich dahinter wieder ab, um der Einladung einer unserer ersten Followerinnen zu folgen. Sei mit dabei, wenn wir uns in der realen Welt kennenlernen.

Unser nächster Stopp ist Avignon. Zusammen durchstreifen wir diese wunderschöne Stadt in der Provence begleitet von einer ganz besonderen Stadtführerin. Wenn Du schon länger mit uns reist, erkennst du sie vielleicht wieder.

Zusammen rollen wir weiter Richtung Norden. Auch in Frankreich gibt es in einigen Gemeinden freie Stellplätze mit Servicestationen. Ein paar davon haben wir genutzt und teilen unsere Van Life Erfahrungen in Frankreich.

Unsere letzte Station ist Mulhouse im Elsass. Hier legen wir eine Kaffeepause ein und schlendern durch die schöne Altstadt, bevor wir uns Richtung deutsche Grenze aufmachen.

Wir sind Petra und Christoph und für ein Jahr unterwegs mit unserem Pössl Kastenwagen 2Win R. Unser Weg führt uns nach Osten über den Balkan, durch den Kaukasus und die zentralasiatischen Staaten Kasachstan, Usbekistan und Tadschikistan entlang der Seidenstraße. Jeden Sonntag berichten wir aus unserem Van Life.

Welcome to our new video from France. This week we are guests of one of our first followers. We visit Avignon with a city guide who is very special to us, and we reach the German border and get

Closer to home little by little. All this and much more is after the intro. Stay tuned. We are Petra and Christoph from Hamburg. We spend a year in the smallest space with the greatest possible freedom in our Pössl van. Our journey takes us across the Balkans,

Through the Caucasus and the Central Asian states along the Silk Road. On this midlife journey we fill blank spaces on our personal map. Filling.White.Spots. We are leaving Spain and are really looking forward to a week in France. We are even more pleased about the open intra-European borders, after having

Experienced waiting times of up to 10 hours at the previous 19 border crossings. Surprisingly, immediately after crossing the border we realize that we are no longer in Spain, because both the landscape and the houses look clearly French. Our first destination is the Catalan village of Laroc-des-Albères. We are invited there by

Claudia. As one of our first followers, she has become a kind of virtual friend for us over the last 12 months. And after we happened to greet the New Year next to each other on New Year’s Eve, but unfortunately unnoticed by each other, in the same square in Villar de Arzobispo,

We no longer want to leave our encounter to chance. She and her husband Mark own a beautiful house in one of the town’s historic streets. Nevertheless, we have to move on, because of course there is a lot

For us to discover in France too. As a farewell, Claudia provides us with home-made lemon and orange jam from her own harvest. Mmm. Thank you for your hospitality and hopefully see you soon in Hamburg. Good morning from Avignon. We had originally planned to be down by the Rhone.

There is a campsite and a few inexpensive free parking spaces. Unfortunately, the Rhone is flooding, there is flooding and so we drove to this alternative parking lot and slept very peacefully here. Are now on the way to Avignon. We are

Now setting off on a little tour of the city, and we have a very special city guide today. Anyone who has been traveling with us for a while may recognize her. We meet Adele again. She traveled through Central Asia on her bike and

Made the transit through Russia to Georgia with us because she had no chance of getting a visa as a bikepacker. We’ll link the video for you here. Between her 2-year bike tour and upcoming projects, she lives with her parents in Avignon and is excited to

Show us her adopted home. Avignon has just over 90,000 inhabitants and, with its medieval old town, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Avignon is exactly how you would imagine a French city to be and it felt like we were walking through a relaxed Petit Paris.

Avignon was the seat of the Catholic popes from 1309 to 1377. Evidence from this time is the massive Gothic Pope’s Palace and while Christoph has an online meeting and works, Adèle and I use the time to look at it.

Of course, everyone who hears Avignon immediately thinks of sur le pont d’Avignon and Adéle is a little surprised that not only she, as a Frenchwoman, had to sing this folk song at school, but also we as Germans. As lovers of street cafés, Avignon is a paradise for us and

Despite the temperatures of just over 10°, life takes place outside. Our vanlife life continues and we are happy to always find parking spaces with public water points. Unfortunately, Christoph is providing new content for the bad luck and breakdowns section at one of these locations, as he probably forgets

To load our Kalle the cable drum back in after filling up the water. Someone is probably happy about it now. Many greetings from La Chapelle-de-Guinchay. We are now an hour and a half north of Lyon Arrived here late yesterday afternoon and made the great discovery that in

France, similar to Spain, there are often free parking spaces in the smaller communities, some of which also offer services such as fresh water and gray water disposal. Same here. We slept very peacefully and relaxed here, will probably go to the bakery again to leave a few euros in the community and definitely wanted

To tell you about this service. It’s about 20 minutes from the motorway, but I think it’s sometimes worth just turning right to discover a really nice place. We reach Mulhouse, also called Mulhouse, which is because the city is

Located in Alsace and therefore in the border triangle of France, Germany and Switzerland. German is spoken here as a regional language, alongside French as the official language. Mulhouse became famous and rich through textile printing. The city of 100,000 inhabitants has beautiful Renaissance houses

Around the Place de la Reunion . Of course, we enjoy the wonderful weather and the special French-German atmosphere right in front of the 19th century St. Stephen’s Church. At the weekend we prepare ourselves strengthened and with clean clothes to cross the final border on the way home. Merci e au revoir France.

That was our week in France. As you can see behind us, we have arrived back in Germany, and next week we will be driving through southern Germany and visiting a few friends and that’s why there won`t

Be a video from us next Sunday, but we have a great topic in two weeks prepared for you. And if you don’t want to miss this, then you know, hit the bell, subscribe to our channel and we’ll see you again in 14 days. Until then. Bye. Bye.
