That’s the Bai de la Somme and the tide goes out for miles! Last time I looked at that Aire it was choc a bloc with no room. Really enjoying your videos. Thank you for all the effort it takes to produce them. à bientôt
The first time we went to the south of France we flew into Nice airport and had two weeks in a house with a pool in Garéoult, just inland from Toulon, the French naval port. We visited Port Grimaud and all around that bay area. Have fun.
bloody brilliant vlog ann so glad you and mr slaw finally got away not through a lack of trying hope france is treating you well and the dogs are loving life xxxxx
What a great first video of your trip, i love coming along and watching your hols, they are thoroughly enjoyable, and you do a first class job of filming, hope you slept well, and look forward to video 2 xxx
We have watched all of your videos, this has been our absolute favourite. Thank you for sharing. Currently in our own Scottish Motorhome adventure. We love how honest and natural you both are and our little Ted (a Shorkie) loves the ‘twins’ as we call them. Have the best time in France. Amy Paul & Ted 🐾 x
Hello Mr & Mrs Slaw. We have been watching you for sometime now. The last vlog was very informative and we are thoroughly enjoying travelling with you through France. We are hopefully going ourselves in October and have found your information very clear and detailed. Thank you.
Love your videos… have spent the last 15 years convincing my husband to come on my journey to buy a Motorhome and at last (thanks to the pandemic) we pick ours up in May. Your videos are such fun, so honest and informative I feel we’ve found some kindred spirits. Love that alcohol plays a part in your adventures, keep them coming 😘
That’s a great video, very useful Mrs Slaws “top tips” about timings etc. We thought the pet check in was hilarious imagine you have to actually take your pets - that’s mental! Watching that on the iPad from the wonderful Hendre mynach site in Wales - trying to figure out which pitch you guys were on. Lunch at the lobster pot was amazing! We’re delighted for you finally getting away and a useful Aire too! Looking forward to following this trip!
really enjoyed this video felt like we were with you.The tunnel looked a bit complicated though,You must all be shattered after leaving Holmfirth so early especially the dogs!looking forward to the rest of the journey.
@@mrsslaw9242 Enchentée, Madame S. J'espère que vous passez de merveilleuses vacances, et des moments des plus agréables. A bit of a ‘booger’ at the Tunnel check-in, though. Is that why they call it the Euro Tunnel ? We want all your Euros... but your good ol’ English Pounds will do just as well. 🙄🙄 May that be the only tiny let-down of your entire trip. Enjoy.... you have utterly deserved this long-awaited sojourn. 👌👌
Great video Mrs Slaw, we went to the Barnmouth Site in May having watched your post from there👍 We’re from Yorkshire too, had our van for three years, been to Scotland x3 and Wales but not ventured over the channel yet so your video is very useful thanks. Looking forward to following your adventures more.😁
Thanks Christian! Hope you enjoyed Barmouth as much as we did. Do venture over the channel. We’ve been doing it since 1997 (2013 onwards with a camper) It’s a great adventure 👍🏻
We've just found your Channel, so have watched most of your France trip. Fantastic Vblogs, especially the drone shots. We are hoping to go down to Spain for six weeks via Eurotunnel November 21, so all your covid information is great. We use the French & Spain/Portugal Peage electronic Tags, very convenient & easy. The Van's got to be MGW of 3.5 tonnes though. Worth looking at & the administration is based in Harrogate now. Al & Jan. New Subscribers.😎🙋♀️
Hi, so sad to see you return from a wonderful holiday, thanks for the roadtrip vlogs. Very good. Does Mrs Slaw ever drive the van and does Mr Slaw ever cook?
Great video we are just on our way back in our motorhome from south west France we use park for night it’s really good but aim to be in the Aires by 6pm to guarantee a space
That was a great watch. We are heading out on Tuesday for our very first trip to Europe in our motorhome. Nervous but very excited! Just taking a week to Amsterdam for our first trip, then if that goes well we are booking a longer trip. Did they check what food you were taking across at all?
I only found your channel a few days ago and im already binge watching. Amazing videos and such a wonderful couple! Do you know the name of the little tune at the very beginning of the video?
Been enjoying your videos for some time now but looking back to try and find info re Heads Up Display. Still not sure what yours is. Mine is poor in bright light and very very difficult to change speedo units. Enjoy Mrs Slaw`s French speaking. What`s French for "had us tea"? Hope Simon is fully recovered after his stint in hospital.
Thank you! Slaw is doing really well. I’ll have to brush up my French for that one 🤣 Our HUD is an Aramox A8 from Amazon a few years ago but they do newer versions 👍🏻
Thanks Gazza! We were totally prepared to be legal after all my research. They only checked the gas was off! No checks of food and no request for the Declaration of honour. Hey-ho 🤪
Hi Albert, we’ve been on both and there’s pro’s and cons for both. I would say the ferry is simpler and easier. You could get a tag for the tolls so you just drive through.
Mrs Slaw. Question ? I noticed you used the M25 do you get charged LEZ zone while using M25 or are you ok to use M25 as long as you don't exit it into any London boroughs I know you have to pay for A E bridge Thanks
Fantastic video thank you. So informative. You obviously can speak French which must be a huge advantage - my foreign language ability is zero, which makes me hesitant to travel to France. I trust you’ll all have a wonderful, healthy and safe trip. Can I ask was it difficult to get the dogs vaccinated for rabies on the French side as I understand you need a health check and dog passport when you arrive OT soon after?
Thank you! Both our dogs were vaccinated against rabies and had Pet Passports. Although the passports are no longer valid (post Brexit) the vaccinations are still valid, so we got an Animal Health Certificate easily. Coming back into the UK the dogs just needed a worming tablet and health check by a vet. This was recorded on the AHC. No problems either going out or coming back 👍🏻

Thank you P, K and Bentley!
Love those dog baskets, but I don’t think my labradors will fit in one of those! I enjoyed that, loads of info for a newby like me. Bonne nuit zzzz.
Glad it was helpful! Bonne nuit 🇫🇷
Beautiful couple. Kiaora from NZ
Thank you Cherrie ☺️

It’s a beautiful area Harry! We particularly love it because the campsite is on a dog friendly beach. A bit of a rareity in France!
Great video and very informative, hope you enjoy your holiday I look forward to your next one
Thanks Steve!
We used to go to Camping de la Plage back in the late 60s and early 70s.
It’s a very well established site!
What a lovely and enjoyable video 🤗 Can’t wait for the rest!! 👏👏

Hi Al & Jan! Welcome to the channel! Glad we’ve been helpful. Have a fantastic trip. Slaw is never fussed for a tag. I wonder why 🤪
Hi, so sad to see you return from a wonderful holiday, thanks for the roadtrip vlogs. Very good. Does Mrs Slaw ever drive the van and does Mr Slaw ever cook?
Thanks Phil! Yes to both questions 👍🏻 Our next vlog is me driving and you can find Slaw cooking on ‘Slaw reviews the Lotusgrill barbecue’ vlog.
Great video & yes dont foget to factor the qually in the slaws love a bit of formula one ☝️
Thanks Simon! We do indeed 🤣
Great video we are just on our way back in our motorhome from south west France we use park for night it’s really good but aim to be in the Aires by 6pm to guarantee a space
Thanks Keith and Sonya! Good advice re aires. Hope you’ve had a great trip 👍🏻
Brilliant 😂
Thank you!
Very enjoyable vlog love to go to France itsjust driving on the wrong side that scares me lol
Go for it! It’s not that bad. You soon get used to it. I found roundabouts the worst at first 🤪
That was a great watch. We are heading out on Tuesday for our very first trip to Europe in our motorhome. Nervous but very excited! Just taking a week to Amsterdam for our first trip, then if that goes well we are booking a longer trip.
Did they check what food you were taking across at all?
Thank you! Hope you have a great trip. Only checks were passports, covid passes and gas off. No onboard checks 👍🏻
I only found your channel a few days ago and im already binge watching. Amazing videos and such a wonderful couple!
Do you know the name of the little tune at the very beginning of the video?
Bon voyage

Thanks for the info. Will have a look@@TheSlawsAdventures
Great video! Where did you get your HUD and who fitted it?
Thanks & keep them coming!
Chris
Thanks Chris! Slaw got the HUD from Amazon and fitted it himself. It plugs into the OBD port 👍🏻
@@mrsslaw9242 Thanks for the response. Loved the British Grand Prix series btw!
what document you need to travel with pet step by step ?
Fantastic video really happy you made it we are do the tunnel next week, can I ask if they checked for food in you fridge or was it just the gas check
Thanks Gazza! We were totally prepared to be legal after all my research. They only checked the gas was off! No checks of food and no request for the Declaration of honour. Hey-ho 🤪
Do you think the ferry is simpler to get on??
As a solo traveller, paying for the tolls will be a pain.
Hi Albert, we’ve been on both and there’s pro’s and cons for both. I would say the ferry is simpler and easier. You could get a tag for the tolls so you just drive through.
Hi, are the French still confiscating dairy products like milk and ham? Were you searched when you reached France? Thx
We were so good in the planning and took nothing we shouldn’t do. However, no checks other than passports, covid vaccinations and gas off!
Tell you what, the guy in the Carthago wasn't hanging around.
He was tramming a bit!
Do you use Tesco vouchers to reduce the cost of your Eurotunnel crossing?
Hi John, we have done in the past. We live so far away from a Tesco though we rarely shop there.
Mrs Slaw. Question ? I noticed you used the M25 do you get charged LEZ zone while using M25 or are you ok to use M25 as long as you don't exit it into any London boroughs I know you have to pay for A E bridge Thanks
Hi Michael, no charge for M25. Just the Dartford crossing charge (£2.50)
@@mrsslaw9242 thanks just gone round M25 no charge.thank you

Great viewing as always. Well done, very jealous. Did you take on water at the aire or carrying sufficient for the first night
Thanks Jools & Deb! We always carry at least half a tank just in case 👍🏻
@@mrsslaw9242 thanks for the info, have a great time
Passport control Pita !!! ,,, just hope we can back into EU and back to normal one day
It is a faff going on the tunnel. A lot easier on the ferry 🚍☀️
close it
