We are Carol & Ken & we like touring in our Consort Nova motorhome called Snoopy. Join us in this episode as we wander through the enchanting towns of Colmar and Eguisheim in France’s Grand Est region.
From spotting a mini Statue of Liberty to tasting local Riesling and finally discovering a food that Ken dislikes, our camper van journey uncovers fairy-tale streets, stork nests, and delicious Alsatian treats. Perfect for over-55 travellers dreaming of relaxed European road trips!
Don’t miss our hunt for storks, night walks in historic villages, and a cheeky Mexican takeaway from a food truck. If you’re planning a France holiday or love scenic camper van adventures, this episode is for you.

Seen something we use in the van then it's probably in our Amazon shop https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/lifeist...
