- The Slaws finally arrive at their destination in the south of France; Camping de la Plage in Grimaud.
They have a beach front pitch and it is heavenly stepping out of Helga their Hobby motorhome straight onto the Mediterranean sand. @HobbyCaravan

• Travelling through Fra...
The view from the pitch is Saint-Tropez to the left and Port Grimaud to the right across the bay of Saint-Tropez.
This vlog is a compilation of clips of The Slaw’s adventures on the campsite.
These include arriving at the campsite, Helga the dune buggy getting onto pitch. Late night antics at the pizza takeaway.
Early morning coffee and croissants, swimming, sunbathing, long lazy lunches under their canopy.
Meals in the beach restaurant, including party night with a live band and dancing.
The Slaws give you a tour of the campsite, both beach side and wooded side, and Mrs Slaw shows you pitches to avoid.
Slaw takes some stunning night photos and takes his usual drone shots over the site and surrounding area.
All their trips out of the campsite are on separate vlogs; so don’t forget to watch those too! Saint-Tropez, Sainte-Maxime and Port Grimaud by day and by night.
Also, the Slaws celebrate the 1st anniversary of their travel vlogging and their 3000th subscriber on this trip (see separate vlog)
Sadly, this trip is coming to an end. Keep an eye out for the remaining vlogs as the Slaws head north.
Brilliant video and thanks for explaining about the acsi card. We've been thinking about it for a while and will definitely buy the 2024 edition.
It’s well worth it Tanya! Our best saving was the first year we used it, back in 2012. The people in front of us paid 45eu for the pitch (5 star in S of France) and we paid 18eu with ACSI 👍🏻
I am binge watching…..and I live in the south of France!
Thank you! Hope we did it justice 🥰
Beautiful camping at the beach.....keep spirit
Thank you!
I really enjoyed your video. 🤩⭐️
Thanks for Sharing! 👍🏼💕
Greetings from Albania. 🇦🇱
Thank you!
Good morning !

You’re very welcome Kevin!
Really enjoying this series, like I said before, normal people enjoying life, brilliant 😁🇫🇷

Thank you for coming with us! You’ve been very welcome 👍🏻
Another lovely vlog Mr Slaw...I'm surprised that you can move after all those carbs and fries ...& the deserts are absolutely awesome...Ann you look good in your bikini 😍
Thanks Terry! We love eating 🤪 And French food is lovely 🥰
@@TheSlawsAdventures I'm a lover of seafood myself ...the lobster you had in Barmouth looked scrumptious xx
looks like you had fun, we could only dream about a Hol like that .🤟💌
It was great Paul! We love France. We’ve got two big road trips lined up for next year, but not all in France 👍🏻
What a beautiful camp site x
Yes it was!
Hi Mr & Mrs Slaw hope you are having a great weekend 👍 on a previous video you posted you recommended thermal screen covers we can remember the Silver screen which was the other make you recommended we need to order one for our weekend at Castleton next week unless it snows again 😀
Thanks Alan & Sharron
Hi Alan and Sharron, apologies for the late response. The other make are Taylor Made. taylormade-covers.co.uk/
Laughing at the drive over the beach and the strange looks 😆 but you gotta do what you gotta do and what an amazing pitch and location to stay at. Fabulous! ATB, Sue x
Hi and Hello Slaws
So this is my 3rd video of yours that I now find myself watching.
The 1st was a walk you did in snow and up a hill with snow.
I found you both so entertaining in the 1st one that I knew I wanted to see more and more I did. It was like 2am in the morning when I finished my 2nd which was you pair traveling back from France so the video I am on now is you guys in France.
I was gonna look for them in shower but no not right now cos I want to see more Traveling With The Slaws. I love your wording, how honest you are, your tips and wow you guys are so funny I just am really really really really loving you two and your video's so far very very very very intertaining and very interesting too. You two dogs are fantastic too but in this one your dog's went in the sea for a swim I that so I have told that that bred of dog don't like the water thus don't swim so I was shocked when I seen them swimming in the water it's a fact I gotta tell and show my daughter as she has that bred of dog (her name is Evie, the dog that is,).
Today is gonna be watching your videos 👏👏👏👏
Love you guys 💖👍👏😂👏👏
Lisa UK xxxx
Hi Lisa! Welcome to the family. So glad you are enjoying the vlogs 🚍☀️
Top stuff Mr and Mrs Slaw 👍🏻
Thanks Steve!
absolutely fantastic, this channel needs to be on netflix, definitely worth binge watching xx
Thanks Tony! I’d take that. I’d retire and do this full-time 🚍🚍🚍
In Porthmadog 😎love watching your travels 📺
Thanks Kev! Have a fantastic time in Wales. We love it there 👍🏻
Just started following you, really informative, ordered our Lillypad screens yesterday.
Happy travels.👍
Welcome! And thanks very much for watching. You’ll love the wind blockers- they’re great 👍🏻
i felt so sad when you had to leave. you'd become more and more french as the days went by. living here is like that.
Thanks Kevin! We are always sad to start the long drive home. I get so ‘into’ France but sadly as we both work full time still it’s always ages in between our trips, so I have to start the school girl French from scratch every trip 🤪
Cor, that looks,beautiful. Wish I was there now!!!😘
Thanks Anne!
Thanks for your French travel videos, esp. for showing this Camping de la Plage. I'll put it on my bucket list to return to Port Grimaud. I stayed at the Prairies de la Mer three times, last about a decade ago, when it was still a campsite to accomodate caravanners. Greetings from Bavaria, Germany.
Thank you for watching!
These videos just get better and better thank you!
Thanks Lorr!
utterly brilliant, what a place to stay, fantastic video, you both look as though you thoroughly enjoyed yourselves, loved it loved it loved it...........Regards
Bazza

🚐☀️🇫🇷⛵️🏖🐶🥰
Thanks Lyndz! The pitch was amazing 🤩
I have really enjoyed watching your travels, we haven’t been able to get away now for a couple of years so nice to see you two having such a great time, looks like a fantastic area, and what a pitch to stay on.👍
Thanks Peter!
Great video,love the information that you put out,as well as the fun side.thanks
Thank you!
Absolutely loving watching your channel but I can see my job list will be amended next time we go in our van as my hubby has noticed that Mrs Slaw not only route plans, navigates and books in at the reception at the campsite! Xx
Aww! Sorry Jane 🤣 Some people call me organised, others call me bossy 😜
Thanks again for bringing some of the med into our home, we are definitely going to go there next year, thanks again and have a safe and enjoyable journey back. 👌🍻
Thanks Mark & Lorna!
Its been a great journey!!
Thanks Stuart!
fantastic!!!really enjoyed this video the pitch was perfect and you looked like you loved it,your dogs swimming was really funny, sad its nearly time for home,looking forward to your adventures travelling back;
Thank you Margaret! The dogs struggled because there was a deep shelf into the sea and they only have little legs 🤪
That’s a great vlog…glad you got back to us as was concerned you’d disappeared!
Thanks Isobel! Luckily some of our subscribers alerted us to the problem and we had to take it down 👍🏻
Good Jarb! looks nice
Thanks Jon!
Looks like a great site to stop for a holiday!!!
It was fab Ken!
Hi Mr Slaw
Thanks for the info on your watch great series of videos inspired us to go for a motorhome when we get back to the uk
Have a safe trip back 😃
Thanks Tony!
I would just like to thank you for your vlogs and the couple bickering that I miss with my departed partner, we had been doing what your doing since the mid 70s until 3 years ago when my partner became ill. so thank you so much for bringing back so many happy times to me. Should you have time then may I recommend a great Beach in Northern France on your way home if you have time at St Efflam,The beach is 4 klm long and the tide goes out for miles!! also a great spot to try Sand Yachting as there is a school there that you can hire them from with a little tuition from the school and well worth the fee. the Camp site is just behind the beach and not much Road noise. if you go, take a pitch on the lower left side of reception and enjoy and safe trip home to you both Chris Franklin.
Thank you Chris! The bickering is a very special part of a relationship isn’t it? I’m so sorry for your loss and I hope you have many special memories of your late partner xx
Keep having a fabulous holiday both stay safe 👍🏼
Thanks Alexander!
Glad you got it sorted, enjoyed it second time around too, filming just superb xx
Thanks Linda! Luckily some subscribers alerted us to the problem as we were driving and had no idea 🤪 xx
loved to have seen mr slaw tackle that dessert !!
It wasn’t pretty Colin 🤦🏻♀️
Lovely video,very informative especially the guy pratting about! Cheers guys.
Thank you! Welcome to my world with Slaw 🤦🏻♀️
Love the vids you guys are putting out we are just about to set off this week on our first trip to France going down to la Rochelle
Thank you Brian! Have a fantastic trip 🇫🇷🚍☀️
Loving your channel. We stayed at les prairies de la mer a few years ago in a caravan which I think is between you and port grimaud. Loved it there, really got out and about, will go back one day xx
Thanks Christine! Port Grimaud is so lovely 👍🏻
Absolutely lovely these videos, you are taking us to some wonderful places, so glad you took us with you, drooling at the food, hope we see how you get on with the dogs at the boarder-coming back (vested interest) xxxx
Thanks Annette! Yes there will be a vlog with the return trip 👍🏻
Only ever handed over our passports once when we visited Morocco. It worried me until I got them back.
Nice vlog. Safe journey home.
Thanks Harry!
Great videos, lovely seeing Camping De La plage we have stay there twice in 2018 & 2019, we were one row back from your pitch was a bit tight but lovely
Thanks Lloyd!
Looks like you had a great time. Love the videos.
Thanks Mark & Helen!
Absolutely loved following you two on your fab trip. We are interested in doing a similar journey. You have been so informative and a lovely couple to watch. Fellow Northerners too lol. Look forward to your next vlog x👍
Thanks Sue! Hope you have a great trip when you get off 🚍
Hi loved the road trip. Please Can you tell me the vets where you got the dogs their tapeworm tablet in St Tropez and did u need to book an appointment? Thanks 😊
Hi Rebecca, we’ve used these vets a few times and you do need to book an appointment. www.cliniqueveterinairepeninsula.com/
Hi I can see 1 reply but cant view it!! If you did reply would you mind sending it again. Thanks you :)
Hi Rebecca, I wonder if RUclips didn’t like the link? We’ve used Clinique Veterinaire in Cogolin a few times before. Book an appointment on email 👍🏻
@@mrsslaw9242 thank you 😊
Looks such a great site
We had a great time!
just found you guys luv the vlogs
all the best from us 2
Thank you!
Hi Both, We love watching your you tube. Your info has help us a lot with various sites and trips, however we have just come across your ACSI Card video and have a question. Do the pair of you to have your own ACSI I.D card? Many Thanks Jo & Russ🙂
Hi Jo and Russ! You really had me thinking then 🤔 I’ve only ever bought one ACSI book and I’ve had no problems booking a pitch for both of us 👍🏻
Mrs Slaw thank you for your much valued response.
Just wondering, are you only required to hand in 1 ACSI ID CARD/passport i.e. you are not required to hand in more than 1 document per pitch?
Thank you for entertaining us with your great videos. We were one week behind you, and could not believe it but we literally drove past you on our way to the South of France. We had just left a wonderful site called Chateau l'Eperiere at Gigny Sur Saone, You waved and by the time we saw you its was too late - apologies (my wife recognised your number) We are now in our second week near Marseilles! Can I ask where did you get your Covid Test? and which test you had? PCR or Antigen? Thank you again for all of your hard work in entertaining us!
Thanks Richard! Yes we travelled back up the Saone. We took our antigen tests with us. It was dead easy to do. We sent the result off by email with ID and received a certificate to travel back within 3 hours 👍🏻
Hi both, we are enjoying your vlogs and about to book our first campervan trip. Not looking positive about pitch on sea front at this site. What did you think of Les Mures as they seem to have availability a few rows back with sea view. Thoughts appreciated 👍
Hi Peter, hope you have a great trip! When we stayed at Les Mures a few years ago, some of the beach pitches were quite dark if you weren’t on the front. That’s not a bad thing though if it’s very hot.
I thought that was a Bond girl coming out of the sea at11:38 turned out to be Mrs Slaw .Slaw are you sure that's not Morecambe where I live you did say you had editing problems.
Thank you Michael ☺️
Would love to view these, but how do I know which order to view them in? Numbers would be great for future postings. Either that or put them in a playlist.
Thanks Brian! A playlist will be put together when the last two vlogs are uploaded.
@@mrsslaw9242 Brilliant. I am really enjoying the way you put these together. Thanks.
Really enjoyed this vlog,can you tell me what drone you use please.
Keep up the good work🙂🙂🙂
Thanks Les! Slaw uses a DJI Mavic Pro.
I stumbled across this vlog last night purely by chance. Have to say how brilliant it is & enjoyed it. Like you we love France and we took our caravan for the 1st time in June 2019 to the Dordogne region. Loved it so much that we booked the same site for 2020 & then planned to go to Lake Annecy this year June 2021 & then Port Grimaud either to the very site your on or Les Mures couldnt quite decide between the 2 in June 2022. But then covid hit us so the 2020 booking was moved to this year & now to June 2022. So to stick to our plans wont probably get to Port Grimuad now until 2024 but after seeing your vlog may go in September that year now to the site your on as i think September looks more relaxing & less busy. Great review of it but can i ask about the beach pitches as i tow a twin axle caravan with a Land Rover Discovery is there enough room for this on these pitches also maneuverability as it does concern me a little. Anyway brilliant vlogs and i need to start at the beginning of your trip now and watch them all fantastic & love the French music you play. Sorry for the long comment
So glad the vlogs are useful and you enjoyed it! We think the biggest beach front pitches on Camping de la Page were opposite us on Allee du snack. Two Niesman-Bischoff Motorhomes were on them and they are big beasts! Hope you get away soon. We love Annecy and contemplated going there on the way home, but the weather was bad up that side.
Thank you for coming back about the pitches I’ll bear that in mind when we book the hols. Yes been away about 6 times since May just had the last week in Somerset but missing France too. Happy Holiday adventures. Just watched your 1st video from home to your 1st stopover in France 👍 Thanks again
Brilliant reviews we have enjoyed your travels in 🇫🇷 final camp site on the beach looks amazing 👏 All in all how much did the trip cost as we would love to do it next year we are on the look out for our new first van adventures #Chalkycider on Tour. Thank you paul & Lisa
Thank you! This is a breakdown of the cost. About £400 for the tunnel crossing. €213 tolls. €480 diesel. €545 campsites.
@@mrsslaw9242 great thank you
Just discovered your channel loads of good tips thank you. Our favourite is this one . Sorry to be a pain was there any problem with people walking through the pitch. (Our biggest hate!) Also did the road between you and the beach get busy with cars or was it just pedestrian traffic . Thanks.
Hi Carlos, glad you’re liking the vlogs! No one walked through our pitch and the path between some pitches and the sea is only for pedestrians. It was fairly quiet when we were there 👍🏻
Didn't we just have the choice of the best campsites towards the end of the covid pandemic. We were at a beauty between Le Lavandou et la Royale at the same time 😊
❤️
Any issues on French sites with dogs ?
Also are waste and water points easily accessible
Thanks
No bother with our dogs. Some breeds are banned though. We’ve always found water and waste facilities accessible too 👍🏻
Hi loved the vlogs, we are planning to do the trip in June :) Can I ask if there was any problems with the dogs on the beach. I emailed the campsite and they said that dogs aren't allowed on the Var in the day?
Hi Rebecca, we’ve stayed there in May, June and September and dogs have always been allowed on the beach. The beaches either side are not dog friendly though, so you can’t walk along the beach to Port Grimaud.
@@mrsslaw9242 thank you 😊
Get her that Toll tag ATMB only pay subscrition on the months you use it order on line delivered to home
Nah! 🤣
when you go for a dip what u do with your m/home keys so no one breaks in ?
The Motorhome was unlocked with the door open (net on) throughout the day 😱 We felt very safe on the site and we made friends with all our camping neighbours and all watched out for each other.
Hi ya mr & mrs slaw`s we is well pissed off we will be back in blighty 9 oclock monday morning while you pair have the time of you`r lives 😒👩
Enjoy Mick! We were back in Blighty 10am Saturday 😥
I did wonder why it was taken down, thought you’d been copywrite policed again 😂
Ha ha! We are very careful these days with copyright 🙄
Great vid as always guys. Slaw…where did you get those frames…..nice!!!!
Thank you! Slaw’s readers are eyekepper from Amazon.
Thanks folks
Thanks so much for alerting us to the sound issue. It was fine when we proofed it to go on, but it uploaded dodgy and by then we were on the road!
@@mrsslaw9242 no problems at all: we didn’t want this to deflect form the high standard as you both have set. I too have started to edit some of our videos and have to take my hat off to all the RUclipsrs its not as easy as you make it look! We appreciate the time your videos take to make edit and upload: full respect. Great content: informative easy watching and most off all seeing a Yorkshire man out of “Gods Country”, hope you all have a fab time looking forwards to the next one. 👍🏻
