Baguette a day is all you need ! A second day at this relaxing beach parkup on the Cherbourg Peninsula - a walk to a small WW2 museum delivers a quality insight into the occupation through the use of created scenes and in places ambient audio.

My names Stew and with Harry the Ford Custom AutoCamper Campervan I will take you on my version of vanlife. If you are planning a winter trip, wanting to discover more about offgrid / wild camping in a campervan or motorhome then consider following this series as we share our adventures in Frnce and this time our end destanation is the Loire Valley but first the Cherbourg Peninsula.

Good on you for continuing to vlog whilst in pain. We know how that feels and it isn’t easy. Loved the museum. It had great exhibits. Hope you are managing to keep on top of the pain the best you can. Hello to Jane.

@janettefrance1285 11 months ago

Nothing can be 100% secure unfortunately Stew ! Love seeing Diorama's in museums, both life-size and minis, particularly of the wars. Also love the route maps you show of Harry travelling and the wee man 👍 Can't help tho feeling you look so lonesome on your walks etc without Jane appearing .... but realise you not alone obvs. Trust Jane is feeling well on this trip ❤ so sorry you still suffered with your back so 😥

@janeveinot6743 11 months ago

Hello Stew and Jane - we have been away and needed to catch up on your last 4/5 videos - which we have just finished. We were sorry to hear that your back pain is giving you grief and we were sad to hear that Jane is “taking a back seat” for now. We 100% support Jane’s choices but we must say that we miss her. Fully support you both and your channel - take care!!

@sheilarussell8852 11 months ago

Appreciate the vlog especially when you are suffering pain with your back.
The museum was brilliant and told the story really well. All the best to you both 💜🙏

@MelG-ut3hs 11 months ago

That museum looks well worth a visit.

@jeanmann6985 11 months ago

I loved the sea gently rolling to the shore in your first walk. Beautiful.

@motorhomemavericks1 11 months ago

Loved the museum, great detail. so poignant yet so interesting. look forward to your future vlogs

Beautiful gentle beach - ours here in SA are always pretty rough with much bigger waves. I took an English friend on a "road-trip" along the Garden Route, and we stayed at Storms River Mouth. The waves there are HUGE and crash onto the rocks. She was actually nervous during the night that the waves would crash into the bungalow. Museum looked fascinating. 💙💙

@Kermit-Si 11 months ago

Certainly a cracking little museum. It looked really well laid out.
Spotted you again, Jane. Reflection in the shop window 🤣
It's know good, you can't hide from me. 👍🐸

Imagine the feeling of being in that gun emplacement on D-Day and finding out your telephone isn’t working. 😱👍

@donnatoner9196 11 months ago

Great wee museum.......hope your back is ok now.

@DesmondRoams 11 months ago

Will have to visit next time we cross the channel. Lovely place, we have vending machines in the farmers market Elgin.

@Wheres_wanda_wandering 11 months ago

I’ve never tried smoked chicken and will probably give it a miss based on your review. Hoping your back is feeling better soon. The museum looked fascinating. Take care Gill

@HazelBrookes 11 months ago

Roast chicken could have made a great soup…tastes like ham as you say.

@LindaOrr-d2e 11 months ago

Maybe a small museum, but very atmospheric by the looks of it. Would love to visit France’s War Museums and graves. My husbands grandfather has a relative who was killed in action in 25th September, 1915. He was only 23. He was with the 8th Battalion. Seaforth Highlanders. His name is engraved at Loos Memorial. We would love to visit some day.

@JulieBillingham-yb1uy 11 months ago

Hi Stu, that is a great little museum, we visited it last year. Just to make yiu aware, you are on the Contentin Peninsula not the Cherbourg Peninsula. Enjoy your trip x

@nafcd 11 months ago

what an amazing museum. cant beat dioramas and street scenes. better than just looking at stuff behind glass and photos. just a side question to. will jane be back on screen in the future or has she decided to retire permanently.
