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 ;)
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 👍
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!
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.
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!
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!!
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…
Been there a few times in car and two motorhomes Rented electric boats and kayaks to go up the gourge. 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.
Sounds like you got it right. Well done 👌💙❤️
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!
Exactly, with so many incredible places it's just not worth spending time where you feel uncomfortable!
Good call, be vigilant and stay safe, Jim
Thanks Jim, appreciate it!
Loved the scenery. And stay safe guys❤❤❤
Thanks Dianne, there’s some lovely places in France isn’t there!
awsome video guys. nice scenery. well done trusting your instinct and glad nothink happend to taco his a lovely cat
Thanks Adam, yes definitely some lovely places but we couldn’t risk staying for any longer than we did unfortunately

Proud of you both keep on travelling much love ❤️
13:15 that's what you call "rock hard" :D
Love it hahaha
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.
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 .
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 👍
Very true.
Yep, we've said a few times how different that day could have ended!
Aww thank you, we're trying our best 🙊

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.
You're absolutely right, we couldn't take the risk. Especially with Taco, he's our main priority!
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!
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 ;)
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
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
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 :)
Van life does look so appealing, but the thought of being broken into is, I'm sure, on everyone's mind. Stay safe
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…
We also would of left that car park, no worth the risk. The does look amazing shame about the car break ins.
Glad it wasn’t just us overthinking it :)

Don't get me wrong I also get paranoid if i tead on park 4 night it is dodgy.
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!
If it don’t feel safe trust your instincts .
We would have never forgiven ourselves if something had happened!
Maybe that man and woman were trying to have a secret romantic tryst and you two got in the way 😅
😂😂 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.
I think you’re right, we’ve not felt uneasy anywhere other than here and Grenoble
