- It’s the final day! Sadly the Slaw’s 16 day road trip from Yorkshire to Port Grimaud on the bay of Saint-Tropez and back has come to an end 😥
If you’ve watched all the previous vlogs - thank you ❤️
Last night they stayed at Camping Chateau du Gandspette in Eperleques, in their Hobby motorhome Helga, just half an hour away from Calais. @HobbyCaravan

This morning the Slaws take you on a short tour of the immaculate campsite grounds, before hitting the road again for the final leg of the France journey.
The route into Eurotunnel is navigated with no issues checking in or at pet reception for their two Lhasa Apso dogs, Billy and Jessie.
All too soon the Slaws are back in Blighty and for the last time Mrs Slaw says a bientôt mes amis!
😍 We 😍 have 😍 stayed 😍 for 😍 12 years 😍 just 😍 amazing 😍

welcome home, hope you had a fab time,
Thanks Bazza! We had a ball 👍🏻
i look forward to your next visit to france.
Thanks Kevin!
What a super holiday you had guys realy enjoyed your videos
Thanks Gareth!
Sad that your journey is over. Never had our van over in France yet, so been watching your videos to get some much needed confidence. I was so fired up and ready to start planning our first trip ...... until I watched this video. It seems so simple to get to France using the Chunnel but so complicated to get back . I suffer slightly from agoraphobia.
Could you please go back and film the Chunnel bit again pleeeeeez 🤣🤣
It’s really not that difficult. It looked worse than it was! Just a bit of a trek around bollards that weren’t really necessary 🤪
Very informative vlog. That place looks a nitemare to navigate . well done.
Thanks Robert! We went all the way round the cones and ended up next to where we started 🤪
That series was pure class. The way you take us on holiday with you is pure genius. Loved it from start to finish. Please post more in the future 🙏
Thank you Steve! We have two big road trips planned for this year 🚍☀️
So thank you look forward to your next tour regards from mark gower in not so sunny Portsmouth
Thanks Mark! Sadly, it will be next year before the next road trip. Work gets in the way 😢 But we’ll have lots of one-offs in the meantime 👍🏻
Thanks for this video. We will be travelling to France in December heading to Spain.
Have a fantastic time Marion! 🚍
Nice one guys lovely videos
Thanks John!
Thank you both for a lovely trip through France, my Husband and I got our first campervan in November having changed from a caravan. We have stayed at Ganspette many times and spent 3 days there a few years ago. The blockhouse museum is a short walk away and is worth a visit. The Beef carbonnade in the site restaurant is also worth staying an extra night for.
A big cheers to you both for your vlogs, enjoyed every one.
The last bit of the drive onto the train seemed a bit complicated, but blame it on covid, like everything else.
Thanks Steve! It was a bit confusing! Slaw thought he was karting at one point 🤣
No fan of the tunnel, much prefer the ferry from Dover to Dunkirk by DFDS, book the premium lounge piece and quite and some shut eye for a good 1hr after shopping and food...Enjoyed your trip into France and home...has a suggestion for your future trips and the places you stay... use What 3 Words...then we can log them in the POI on our Sat Navs...great vid once again.
Thanks David! Good tip 👍🏻
Ahh shame its come to an end, we stayed at grand spette on our way to Lake iseo and then on the way back stopped at Camping La Bien Assise near calais, which we thought was slightly better.... ie more going on.
Thanks Declan! Lago Iseo is beautiful 😍
Thanks again to the Slaws really enjoy your adventures
All the best till next time
Simon and Kerry
Thanks Simon and Kerry!
Great set of videos, nicely edited and presented, we thoroughly enjoyed your trip. My brother used to go to Port Grimaud annually so it was lovely to see it in all it's glory. We were also in France at the same time but travelling down to the south west to the Gers Department staying in gites. Very useful to compare your covid advice so thank you. Looks like you enjoy your F1 racing so I would recommend visiting Angouleme for the Circuit des Remparts weekend in mid September, it's a great weekend of historic racing, checkout the videos.
Thanks Pete! We’ll certainly put that on our wish list 👍🏻
The best holiday ever!!
Thanks Lorr! We’ve had a ball. Thanks for joining us 👍🏻
Thank you both for sharing your holiday, for me it had a nostalgic feel like the old "wish you were here" program but with a modern twist. Your vlogging technique is like no other on RUclips , mixed with clever editing and drone footage, i am absolutely sold on your channel, can't wait for the next binge watching vlog xx
Thanks for your kind words Tony! Funnily enough, I have been likened to Judith Chalmers before 🤪 Unfortunately it will be next year before we get another road trip, but we’ll have lots of one-offs until then 👍🏻
This has been a fabulous trip. We have enjoyed every minute of your videos and will miss watching you in France. We will look forward to your next trip wherever that will be. Thank you both and the doggies.
Thank you for coming with us! You’ve been most welcome 👍🏻
Thank you for taking us with you. I really enjoyed all the videos.
Thanks Tim! You’ve been very welcome on our trip 👍🏻
Loved following our Oilday looking forward to your next adventure Just love it
Thanks Robert!
Well it had to end: I knew it!!!! I did say from the beginning of your adventures that it would end up with tears, sad faces and frayed tempers, banging of doors and temper tantrums. Will that was our house! 😢What are we going to do now it’s ended; leaving a void that only “The Slaws” can fill? I know…..watch it agin!!! Happy faces. 😂😂
All smiles now in our house. Great videos as always folks loved the locations, costs and seeing a Yorkshire man squirm what told the price of a drink 🥃 for everything else this is priceless. We loved when Mr S try’s fluently speaking French with a Yorkshire undertone love it. The same as mine with a Mank undertone. Take care folks looking forward to your next adventures 👍👍👍
Ha ha! That’s very funny 🤣 Proper Northern humour!
Thanks for a great time ! It was like being there 👍👍
Thank you Glyn! That’s exactly what we try to achieve. Just a normal couple on holiday with their friends and having a great time 👍🏻
A thoroughly enjoyable group of French travel vlogs- many thanks for sharing them with us.
Thanks Dave! You’re very welcome 👍🏻
Thank you for such lovely vlogs. Excellent footage and so I formative. I feel sad (and no doubt you do too) that this journey has come to an end. Hopefully not long before you are planning some more getaways. Thanks again you two x
Thanks Sue! All good things have to come to an end, but that also means it’s time to start planning next year’s trips 👍🏻
Grace Deeley
It's been very entertaining and enjoyable following you on your travels very informative you make it look easy Mr slaw is very entertaining with his one liners loved the drone footage I carry mine all the time
Thanks Mark! You want to try living with Slaw 🤪
Loved watching every episode of your holiday, Thankyou for sharing, and look forward to joining you on your next trip 👏👏👍👍🍻🍷
Thank you!
Brilliant series of vlogs!! Thank you!!!

An excellent set of videos of your French holiday. I dont know how I came across your channel but I think it is great always very informative and you are both so relaxed and laid back that every video is easy and a pleasure to watch. Looking forward to your next video. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much for your kind words!
Loved every bit of your tour, thanks for sharing 😎👍
Thanks Smiler!

It is indeed!
Loved every minute of your French tour, gutted it's over, thanks for sharing 😁🇫🇷
Thank you Joe!

It was lovely Mick! Hope you got home safe too 👍🏻
Great series of videos of your French trip. Loved them. Great info as well for our trip there next spring. Thank you.
Thanks Andy!
Fantastic trip , thanks for sharing. Looking forward to your next adventure already x
Thanks Phil!
so sad its all come to an end,its been lovely travelling with you,not sure L fancy the train it all looked a bit complicated!! but you were calm and Mr Slaw a bit stressed. I look forward to your next trip we are off to Chatsworth tomorrow happy days.
Thanks Margaret! Ooh, Chatsworth! We love it there! It always reminds me of The Secret Garden with the key to the gate 🥰 And after a lovely walk, a pint and a warm up in The Devonshire Arms. Enjoy xx
Great following your travels, love your little dogs, have one myself, can't wait till your next adventure, it's beer o'clock while I am writing this.
Thanks Andy! And cheers 🍻
Loved the vlog but made me want to stick to getting the boat lol and Slaw listen the next time 😂😂
Thanks Duncan! Slaw is a law unto himself 🤣
Really enjoyed watching your holiday, great content, hope the reality of being back home has gone down ok. 👍
Thanks Peter! The benefit of being back home is that working gets us the money for all our trips off 🤪
Fantastic content, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Graeme!
The last site looked lovely so straight into our search for sites list! The tunnel oh my god, I look forward with trepidation to the inevitable domestic we will have driving round and round that deserted carpark trying to find the train. We miss the French music already 😞We've loved following your trip and of course we got a mention on the TV what a surprise that was !!!! Bravo guys, look forward to the next video and the dog chariot cam 😃
Thank you Ian! The site was a real gem 💎 The route into Eurotunnel did seem very convoluted and at one point Slaw thought he was karting 🤪
Thank you for sharing your trip it was excellent to watch, you planning and logistics skills are a above and beyond our government, lol I will recommend you to Boris. if you can navigate the French system your god in my book. Oh and Emily &Fin dress has been purchased so they owe you a promo discount. All the best Robert & Carolyn the mad bikers.
Thank you Robert and Carolyn! Carolyn, you have good taste 😘
Ah loved every minute of your vlogs…. Defo think you should turn straight around and keep travelling xx thank you for such a wonder insight into St Tropez :) xx
Thanks Caroline! Oh, if only we could just keep on driving! Sadly, work gets in the way. One day…….. 🚍
Glad you made it. Now going to try out that campsite next time we travel back….as long as it’s open but sadly suspect it will be closed but there will be another time.
Thanks Isobel!
Hi been following all your adventures we recently watched your journey through France we are planning on going in January covid permitting you mentioned on one of your blogs an app proving vaccination status wondered if you could tell me which one it is and how to find it as our French is really poor cheers and keep the videos coming they are an inspiration , Steve
Thanks for watching Steve! We downloaded the Tous Covid French App. It allows you to upload your NHS covid pass and converts it to a French Covid Pass. We needed it in France to get into bars and restaurants. It worked really well. Hope you have a great time 👍🏻
Well they do say that all good things come to an end 😢😢 but what a tremendous adventure you have shared with us all!
Thank you for taking us along with you on this grand tour of France.
🚐😊❤️🇫🇷🚴♀️🐶🐾🏖🏰
Loved every minute of it all!
Lyndz xx
(When’s the next trip? 😜)
Thanks for coming with us Lyndz! Unfortunately we can’t do another road trip until next year (blinking work gets in the way 😢) but we’ll have lots of one-offs before then xx
Could you please number films on driving to the south of France so we can follow journey better. many thanks
Hi, they are all numbered in the playlist screen. ruclips.net/p/PLacD3iIS8FafuKG2Gfc4mJIlXO6wodWTI
That looked like a beautiful site, mainly because it had two Pétanque terrain pistes.
I guess sat navs can only get you somewhere near the tunnel complex. Once inside your on your own. It must be a nightmare if you don't speak French.
Welcome home. xx
Thank you Harry!
Hope you don't mind me asking but I remember you mentioned new tyres on the front of your motorhome, and you shouldn't get stuck as easy, which make and tyre type did you fit.
Thanks
Also we enjoy your videos, it nice to see someone from near us making videos, we're from the Emly mast side of huddersfield..
👋🏻 Hi from across the way! Sorry, not sure about the tyres? We haven’t put any on? We have got some mat things that would have been really useful in getting off the beach had we taken them with us 🤦🏻♀️
@@mrsslaw9242 OK thanks must have heard wrong keep the videos coming we enjoy to watch them thanks..
Wow that site was stunning, and another wow for what seems like you going around the houses finally getting on the train, you certanly have to know where your going, loved all your uploads and filming spot on each time, where are you off to next? xxx
Thanks Linda! We’ll have lots of one-offs to take us into next year. We’re hoping to do two big road trips next year 👍🏻
@@mrsslaw9242 Ooh how exciting and i am so pleased for you your channel is growing and so well deserved xxx
Looks like you had an absolutely fab holiday. Can't wait to get over there again in our van. All of the vlogs have been really informative and so useful and interesting. What do you think of the 'chunnel' - we prefer it....except for the weird maze of roads they send you around lol 🤗
Thank you! We do prefer the chunnel when the dogs are with us as they stay in the vehicle with you.
I am so sad you have finished your trip! Welcome Home and thank you so much for helping to relive the boredom of now being alone! I have so much enjoyed you both and your interactions! reminded me so much of my partner and I when the only way to get around was the set of yellow maps!! very few AutoRoute and most of the trips were on Route Nationals, or green roads to those not in the know. So once again a great big THANK YOU TO YOU BOTHE and the dogs and you will be missed so much by me. safe home, with affection, Chris Franklin.
Thank you for your mind words Chris! You’ve been very welcome on our holiday and I’m glad it brought back some happy memories for you. Until next time, Billy and Jessie send lots of furry snuggles and licks x
@@mrsslaw9242 Thank you very much and extra treats for the dogs please. look forward to may be one day meeting you both on the road , keep it on the black stuff! Chris.xx
Hi
As a new subscriber and a caravanner I found your french trip so enjoyable and very informative especially with the vlogs of the pet reception, as we have booked for France next july. Did you vlog going to the french vet for the tapeworm treatment? And which vet did you use? Tia steve
Thank you! We didn’t vlog going to the vets. We used the vets in Gassin before we left the South. But we’ve used the vets in Deauville before too as well. Never had an issue in France.
Enjoyed the tour, when is the next one? Do Euro tunnel have shares in a petrol company?
Thanks Bob! We’re planning two big road trips for next year, but we’ll have lots of one-offs for you until then 👍🏻
Great trip loved the videos when/where is the next adventure ?
Thanks Simon! Sadly it will be next year for the next big road trip (work gets in the way 😢) but we’ll have lots of one-offs in the meantime 👍🏻
Thanks for the video - it's very helpful :) I am curious whether yous got your passport's stamped at UK Border Control when leaving France ?
Hi, yes we did.
A bit around the houses ?
Indeed! At one point Slaw thought he was karting 🤣
Thank you for sharing this lovely video! - I'm planning to travel to Spain with my dog via the Euro Tunnel. Where did you guys do the health check for your dogs before entering to UK again? Do you think I can do this in Spain before coming back instead of doing it in France? Many thanks once again xxx
Thanks Maria! We had our AHC completed after the worming tablet was given in Gassin in the South of France. You have to have it done no less than 24 hours and no more than five days before entering the UK.
mr slaw what heads up unit do you use pal
good info guys
Thank you! Slaw bought the HUD from Amazon. Sadly there’s no makers name on it.
Great videos for us newby euro travelers ! Do you use the standard Fiat Ducato satnav on your van? Cheers Garry
Hi Garry. It has the Blaupunkt unit in that was supplied as standard on the Optima Deluxe, and is linked to reversing camera as well.
Thanks for sharing your travels, great videos and really enjoyed the style/format.
I can’t seem to find out, What camera does slaw use in the cab ?
Thanks Steve
Hi Steve. Thank you. It’s a DJI osmo action.
Thanks for joining us on our adventures 👍🏻
shame thats over hopefully be back over next year is the last campsite in the laccsi book couldnt find it my books a year old whats it under thanks
Hi Rod, yes it’s ACSI. Our book is 2021 and it’s number 1041.
