you both seem so refreshed after your boat stay! Thanks for introducing us to all these small villages. They are so romantic!
I love how Charlotte holds up the memory of her beloved mum in so many different ways. Heartwarming.
What are the odds of Charlotte finding an item with a Bull and Flamingo on it ? hahaha Expect something, yeah?
The music score was amazingly, Amè. Spanish guitar. Soothing....
You two are easy to watch....thanks for sharing your journeys.
Thank you for taking us away from it all! Watching you navigate all the beauty of France, is very relaxing indeed. Best wishes and Love.
Only a ten hours drive north of L'Isle Sur la Sorgue, June 6 1944, almost 160,000 troops landed on the Normandy beaches of France on D-Day 80 years ago. Casualties during the landing numbered 10,300. Freedom is not free nor to be taken for granted.
That would make a great shirt. The World Just Needs To Chill The Fuck Out!!! Lol
Great to see you back after the boat trip what a beautiful place you showed us the antique place looked amazing cant wait for Charlotte to do some cooking again she makes some lovely meals ❤
The Venice of Provence looks really charming! Good vibes!
RUclips is the new television...you guys are famous.
Nice to see Charlotte walking. Be safe, guys. 🙂❤
safe from what exactly??
Hi IM glad to see Charlotte looking herself after that bad illness, and looking quite radiant i must say. And all of you looking good so relaxing watching your videos it has been a wee bit cold in uk.
What beautiful flowers and scenery..
Thanks for taking us along
What a beautiful town.
That little house boat was really cute looking. Would you all consider doing boat life full time? You could put the girls 🐶🐶🐶in the bike basket, That would be an adventure. I absolutely love watching your videos and you capture the towns so beautifully Rob, with or without a fancy camera. Your videos take me places I'll never have the opportunity to visit, I cherish the hard work you all put into your videos.
Love from Texas.🫶🏼
I absolutely loved today’s episode…I normally don’t comment but I just wanted you guys to know how much I appreciate you sharing your lives and experiences with us! Also to let you know how much I enjoyed the antique shops and your stories today! It was such a feel good episode!!! 🥰🤩⚡️👋🏼
Hi guys, enjoyed your vid as per usual...I could be wrong but I think the heart represents thr sacred heart of Jesus.
that was amazing thank you.
You can really see where Ame got her classic personality from , you guys are fantastic 🇦🇺👍
Charlotte is the most attractive vanlifer and you two are clearly in love! A great combination for the lifestyle you crave. Subbed!
The gold heart that Charlotte bought is called a Sacred Heart, the sacred heart of Jesus, it's a religious ornament ❤🔥😇
That’s right.
Yes that is the Sacred Heart of Jesus! It’s really a Catholic symbol and common in Catholic paintings and statues! It’s beautiful and how you were drawn to it without even knowing what it was!
Good to see you walking comfortably Charlotte. I loved the little town with all the water features. I too dislike the rushing and stress in big cities. This little town looked so peaceful without traffic or crowds. I loved the antiques shop especially that amazing water garden! Thank you for the ride along, really loved this one. Stay safe and well.🙏🏻🩷
So much in this latest video - really enjoyable. The story about the daddy duck stepping up to look after the ducklings would have made a great story for "Springwatch" currently airing on BBC. Chris Packham would be beside himself with excitement.
Fab video. Very calming. Charlotte, you look really good, you are giving Carole Bouquet vibes.
so true !
Great. 9:49 "You've reached your destination. Don't let the seaguls steal your chips" 😂😂😂
Great film, beautiful scenery, the marina looked very promising. This part of France is much more appealing to me than the Riviera towns your daughter is so in love with. Good luck!
Please don't apologize for your videography. You become my favorite channel. I dream of taking my wife to france one day. I've been to paris, but there is so much more to that country. And I am learning so much by watching your videos.
0:34 I'm glad you added 'lip'
Poor little GiGi looks so lost. It must be so confusing for her when Aimee comes to visit her mum and Dad, then doesn't take her back with her when she leaves. Bless you both for taking her. I did the same once when I was young and I didn't realise till years later how my little dog must have felt. I will always regret it.
Beautiful video. You are both stars. I love your channel. Hope Charlotte's foot has healed well. Love the antique shop. ❤
They have said recently that Gigi doesn't actually like to leave thr other dogs lately, and gets fomo snd acts up, which is why they are having her a bit more.
Hi lovely blog the place you stayed was gorgeous and relaxed. Hope to see you again next week . ❤
One of the great things about living in a Van. I can see is that you can go to antique shops and stores. And don't buy anything because you have no room for it. Save so much money. But still good to enjoy seeing the stuff.
Thank you for taking us along. For all of us are unable to travel we appreciate the ride along.
Charlotte I love your belt buckle!! Stay safe
💜
Avignon is really nice.
Really enjoyed this one .😊 What a lovely place . A feast for the eyes . 💕👍
Hey guys, in the middle of video where you are talking about where to park and wondered if you have heard of France Passion? Lists vineyards and olive groves etc you can stay at as part of their scheme. Think it is more south of France and costs about £35 a year to join from what I saw on another video yesterday but there were loads of places. Maybe worth a look? Have a blessed week 🙏
Parking was free but think they like you to do a wine tasting or buy a bottle of wine…olive oil etc but did look like it was very laid back from the 2 places they stayed and they only brought some wine or stuff they needed.
So nice to see you & your adorable doggies🐾🐾🐾
🌴Hello from California🌴
Avignon, one of the most veautiful places i remember visiting in 1988 ona Contiki tour, as well as Paris,Antibes, and Monte Carlo, just incredible
Very pretty and picturesque. I'm shocked to hear that in that little cafe you were sitting in they were playing the American song from the 1970s Love Train❤
Enjoyed going a long with you two glad to see Charlotte foot is better 🎉
I love all the beautiful places you take us that I will never get to see for myself! You both bring so much joy to so many people around the world.
You best be using sunscreen from this day forward! Good to see Charlotte’s healed.🙏🏻 Take care! 💙
Ah France! This makes me miss it! This is the area I lived in and I too love water and did not love the bog cities there- loved the small villages! I think you would love the Ardeche Gorges.
Proper Ricard bottle opener you’ve got there. Beautiful setting and fun shopping. Very efficient dog alarm as well. Cheers
Such a great town and such wonderful guides. Thanks guys1
I follow you, from Romania. You are special for me.
Wow I think this is my favorite little village so far. Great video and thanks for sharing!
I could see you both living on a boat, looks really relaxing. You’d need the van still to get around and visit places a boat can’t go. Please sun protect your skin though, Rob.
Thanks guys...love watching yee
Lovely episode, and so good to see you really relaxed after the boat break. I hope it gave you some thoughts of midlife boat life lol
🌷Thank You🌻
Love you guys for sharing your experiences and stories.
ive missed you guys! doug from colorado! i fell last year and broke my neck, hand, shoulder, sternum and yes... my head lol ive been in therapy, oh my gosh. 4, 5, 6 therapys at once. then i caught covid pneumonia. wrecked my lungs. ive been therapy for that alone for 6 months. so, i havent watched youtube in over a year. of all the channels im subscribed to yours is one i began looking for first. and yea, people need to chill out! lol hey. im looking forward to watching your boatlife. my brother lives on a boat about 1/2 the year. we/ve got a small houseboat than the one at the beginnig of your vid. its 26' so... we dont take it out much anymore. its a fun little boat but i cant find anyone in the area to work on it. small town in the middle of the rockies. peace and love i say ✌❤
Enjoy looking ❤❤❤❤beautiful town😊
Spirtual sun & enlightened heart. Love that shop with the flowing river. One of a kind. One love! 😘✌💓
Beautiful sightseeing. 😍 Now I so want to go to France thanks to you two. 🎉🎉🎉
Lovely scenery, that is a beautiful part of France. I prefer countryside over towns too, generally speaking. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us
You likely found some really great camping spots. Boats are a great way to get some privacy. 😎
My greetings and hugs to you all . In the village where I live was until four years ago the monastery of the Pationists. So I think to recognize the heart to be as the sacred heart of the Pationists.
Uzès my Favourite town
I so enjoy your videos and also Amen's to and the fur babies are so cute.
Bet you could get a good deal on a fixer upper long boat that's somewhat liveable.
Charlotte looks great in the snoopy orange sweater, sounds like these two prefer “greendale” or “trumpton” for parking, better scenery and landscape views ✌️❤️🇬🇧
The boat is insured by Allstate !
Great video, beautiful scenery, and you find the grandest places to go and visit. Enjoyed your journey together with you. Stay healthy, safe, and happy, and wishing you an amazing week. 💯♥️
It would be great if you could put the names of the places you are visiting on the screen. I live in France and would love to visit some of these places but can't always work out how to spell them after you have named them!
Nice vlog guys thanks. Just wonder if you speak French with the locals? Would be great to hear.
See you next time.
Loved the video today of you both. I was wondering in your videos if you could put the name of the place you visited as I’m in Australia and would love to visit there sometime.
Ah I wish!.I could come along with you two for real..but I'm stuck in my 7th floor apt in Ottawa,Canada.I will just experience the joy through your eyes..ants are a pain I had some up here what da ....lol
Good luck with the ants. I've been dealing with them myself.
My wee westie always barks when i am on the phone and like you trying to do things lol👺
Where was the duck camping spot on the river? Please I am on my way😅
Love your channel. The Aussi Nav Man, that diva dog Gigi (blame the mother) and your ability to capture the beauty of the places you visit want me coming back for more. ♥️
Love the video and Haha, I love your Australian navigation voice. Just can*t imagine why. 😂
You guys are so heart warming. I know in France it’s called “faire le Bisse were I’m from it’s just a bear hug. 🤗 if I ever get close enough to you guys and Ame you will never escape my bear hug until I feel your grace flowing through my soul. Love you guys ❤
We had the Erie Canal in NYS that was like the canal there, but the state let it die.

Nice to see you two back out with the three dogs 🐕 back in the van I think you will miss the boat that's what you could do with a little house boat 🚢 stay safe and stay healthy one life enjoy blessed be
This video was super enjoyable to watch. I feel like a have been on a short vacation to the south of France myself.
I do wish they would explain why Gigi is with them now. Or maybe they did and i missed it?
I think that symbol is a sacred heart. Possibly Catholic. I've seen some prayer lockets like that. Does the heart open up?
I like your flowered shirt Robert and Charlottes Snoopy sweater.👏🏻👏🏻🥰
Factor 50 girls and boys !
Both looking great 👍 especially Charlotte in orange 🫶
Thank you for your amazing videos and beautiful sights that you showed us. Great work ❤
You two are an old married couple.. we can tell by the way you complete each others sentences😊
Much love ❤️ 😊😊
PS i love your Aussie gps OH those greedy sea gulls 😅
There are reasons you like water small negative reasons, here is one description of the benefits.
“as the air around water is supercharged with healthy negative ions. You've probably never heard about healthy negative ions, but when you breathe these negative ions in, they have such a healthy impact on your body, helping with everything from stress to energy levels. Not only do they accelerate your ability to absorb oxygen, but they also naturally increase your levels of serotonin, the key hormone that stabilises your mood, feelings of wellbeing, and happiness. They also clear the air of airborne allergens such as pollen, mould spores, bacteria, and viruses. That is why a deep breath while walking along the beach can feel so good and make you instantly feel better.
It doesn't end there either, negative ions are believed to revitalise cell metabolism, enhance immune function, purify your blood, and balance the autonomic system that helps promote deep sleep and healthy digestion”
I couldn't agree more about living on the Water. It's calm and it's storms...equally magnificent. And looking out over it daily, it's like a fish tank or fire for staring out over it. The light changes constantly via reflection of sunlight/cloud.
Ooooooooooommmm... peace
Love you guys..you both look so cool walking around that beautiful village❤
The boatlife is more interesting because the places are more in accessible.😊
Can't imagine what van life will be like before, during and after the Tour de France and the olympics....good luck with that.
I'm with you relating to being near water.
Lovely little towns and villages! ☕
Thank you so much 👍❤️
Boat life & van life share many similarities. A year or two cruising & living on the European waterways would be an amazing experience, (see if you can find Watersteps Through France by Bill & Laurel Cooper).
Ocean going boat (yacht) life - Now there’s a whole new adventure (the coopers did that too on their ferrocement yacht “Fare Well” which they documented in their book Sell Up & Sail).
I have no connection to them but had many similar adventures in my own boats - I just didn’t write about it!!
😊👍
❤
There is a steakhouse down the street that just opened.....if location location location is a thing...they nailed it here...they will be competing with another steakhouse across the street called "Steak 44" and the one that just opened is named...."Le Ame".....now I stopped believing in coincidences long ago but I still think this deserves a wtf. Anyway....thx for the video...glad all is going well. I am not too good for a floating cargo container conversion thing somewhere to chill on......I think that is very interesting. I would probably sniff it out like a dog for a day or two before climbing aboard....make sure it is safe lol. Happy travels...bye bye for now.
Enjoyed this video so much! You guys always provide such a relaxing time; love it❤
You seem to have Gigi quite a bit??? Love seeing her...
Where I’m from you can still get the box 📦 and the straws from Macca’s!

Hello ⅔ of family and I must say your energy levels and life hunger is so change after boat vacation... its life in you bought, must say france is really best country in Europe. I can imagine aa antikvariat old stuff, best place to shop if you find simple home in land of wine garlic and everything is backwards like..nato= otan...love France..peter ❤
Beautiful spot! Lovely getting the tour around. Hope those ants get packing!
Another cool video keep on keeping on wishing y’all the best
Chiming in from Perth (West Aussie). We recently returned from 6 weeks in UK (Maidstone area in Kent to Harrogate in Yorkshire) & Europe (Amsterdam to Budapest by river boat and the rest by Train hopping all around Europe). We spent some time in France & enjoyed the small villages (we were actually north of you outside of Lyon exporing the region). Did not realise how expensive both UK & Europe had become re both accomodation & food eating out when your touring. Hated the intensity & chaotic madness of the big cities. Venice was saturated with tourists as was Paris. Uk was madness with the small villages overrun with mass volume of small cars on skinny roads not designed to handle population density. (we had a hire car in Kent) Best way to travel was train hopping for sure living out of a suitcase. Van Life would be good for a venture but where it is your full time only home living the gypsy life that would be tuff for sure and i take my hat off to you.
Makes us appreciate the vast space we have around us in our daily lives back here in Perth (where our peak hour traffic on the freeway on a monday morning would be a normal Sunday drive in the UK) and i can now see why so many poms (my wife included) migrated to Perth over the years which is why its knickname is "little Brittain" haha.
We definately needed to brush on our French language in france as many in the retail trade did not speak English at all (not the case in the rest of Europe)
Thanks for sharing your experience. I live in Kent and agree with everything you said. I also agree that visting the big cities in Europe can feel overwhelming and it's not easy to connect with a place when you have to fight through the crowds. I much prefer exploring the small villages and towns, where you can actually talk to the locals and learn about the history of the area and hidden gems that very few know about.
Charlotte, with your health scare a few months back related to the campsite showers causing Legionnaires disease. What would you recommend to hopefully never have that happen again? I’m a new RVer and every time I think of using a public shower, you are the first person I think about!! Hope you are doing well with your poor ankle as well. ❤️
Much love guys! ❤xxx
❤ Corn starch also works on Aunt's.....

Great vid. Great music
