      Cheers, we might have been over cautious, but it's not worth the risk in our eyes!

    Good call! It would be horrible for your car to be broken into but for you, the van is your home. Lots of other lovely places to see in France!

    • @Thenomadpurr

      Exactly, with so many incredible places it's just not worth spending time where you feel uncomfortable!

      Thanks Adam, yes definitely some lovely places but we couldn’t risk staying for any longer than we did unfortunately

    Great video as always 🙌🏻 what a beautiful place 👌🏻 you 100% made the right decision. It’s a shame that others have to make you feel pushed away like that isn’t it 😤

      Thanks dudeee, yep both places were pretty special in their own ways! You’re right, but like we said, I guess that’s travel 🤷‍♂️ you win some you lose some! To feel uneasy in one place out of four weeks travelling can’t be bad ;)

    Went in peak season this summer when very busy. Parked close to main Rd so felt comfortable leaving the van with the amount of people about.

    • @Thenomadpurr
      @Thenomadpurr  2 месяца назад

      Sounds like that would have been the better time to go, safety in numbers I think!

    Great video guys , I know a lovely little campsite there where you do a few early morning sessions. I had them to low 30's earlier in the year .

    • @Thenomadpurr
      @Thenomadpurr  2 месяца назад +1

      Oh really? That would have been awesome!!

    Never question your intuition!
    I think, (and I'm sure you guys do too), have saved your van being broken into there.
    Great vids, keep up the good work 👍

    • @Thenomadpurr
      @Thenomadpurr  2 месяца назад

      Very true.
      Yep, we've said a few times how different that day could have ended!
      Aww thank you, we're trying our best 🙊

  • @wheelersinthewild

    So glad all is ok, horrible when something like that happens, makes you nervous about leaving your van, we caught a bloke on our security camera wandering up and down our van and crouching down at the back of it, we were in Wells a nice place and was going to park the night in the carpark but left after seeing that, checking underneath for tags before we went!

    • @Thenomadpurr
      @Thenomadpurr  2 месяца назад

      Yea it does make you question everything doesn't it. We've never had a problem in nearly 3 years of full time van life, but this did just feel a bit off...
      That's really concerning, was that whilst you were inside? Things like that do make us think about getting cameras etc ourselves. We've been to Wells too, you wouldn't expect anything like that there would you!
      I think your phone flashes up if a new AirTag follows you as you move, don't quote us on that though.

    Better to be safe than sorry even if they didn't break in a attempt would of cost you and spoilt your trip. keep safe you two.

    • @Thenomadpurr
      @Thenomadpurr  2 месяца назад

      You're absolutely right, we couldn't take the risk. Especially with Taco, he's our main priority!

  • @onemaninaboat

    Been there done that, but i drove along the gorge (up the river) and it is breathtaking in places. There is an old track that goes along the gorge which you can walk and it tunnels through the mountain in places (requires head torch!). Anyway enjoy your travels!

    • @Thenomadpurr
      @Thenomadpurr  2 месяца назад +1

      Ah that old track sounds so exciting! It’s a shame we cut our visit a bit short as that would have been great to explore. Maybe next time ;)

  • @adventures_with_wilbert
    @adventures_with_wilbert 2 месяца назад

    You did the right thing…I would of done the same thing. It’s your pride and join and does sound suss. Have fun & enjoy! And most of all stay safe

    • @Thenomadpurr
      @Thenomadpurr  2 месяца назад +1

      I’m glad it wasn’t just us being a bit paranoid! You’re right though, and to be fair our biggest concern is Taco. We couldn’t have anything happen to our child!!

    Have look at Just Touring. They stayed at a very nice campsite at the bottom of the Gorge Du Verdon

    • @Thenomadpurr
      @Thenomadpurr  2 месяца назад

      Will have to give them a look, a lot of places are shut this time of year. But it’d be nice to be parked somewhere safe when we’re next passing :)

  • @AliceGoss
    @AliceGoss 2 месяца назад

    Van life does look so appealing, but the thought of being broken into is, I'm sure, on everyone's mind. Stay safe

    • @Thenomadpurr
      @Thenomadpurr  2 месяца назад +1

      Appreciate the comment, it’s VERY rare that we’ve ever felt unsafe either being in the van, or leaving it. This situation however did have a different feel to it, and we still look back wondering what could have been…

  • @Alivefrom45
    @Alivefrom45 2 месяца назад

    We also would of left that car park, no worth the risk. The does look amazing shame about the car break ins.

    • @Thenomadpurr
      @Thenomadpurr  2 месяца назад +1

      Glad it wasn’t just us overthinking it :)

    Never seen nor had an ounce of trouble Great area You could just be a bit paranoid
    Don't get me wrong I also get paranoid if i tead on park 4 night it is dodgy.

    • @Thenomadpurr
      @Thenomadpurr  2 месяца назад

      Glad you’ve had a good experience there, like you say we could have been a bit paranoid but you can never be too careful!

      😂😂 You could be absolutely right, we've outed them now! Oops 😬

    I dont think that France is so dangerous, just the touristic spots attract the criminals.

    • @Thenomadpurr
      @Thenomadpurr  2 месяца назад

      I think you’re right, we’ve not felt uneasy anywhere other than here and Grenoble
