Pete Hayes French Wanderings
We love to visit France and wander around the delightful villages, towns and cities both well known and those places that you've never heard of. Our videos reflect our explorations and observations and hopefully provide a gentle, relaxing flavour of the beautiful places we have visited and enjoyed. We hope that viewers feel that they are walking with us as we explore and enjoy our surroundings.
We live about 20 minutes from the port of Dover, Kent and visit 3-4 areas of France each year. It is quicker for us to go to Honfleur in Normandy than St Ives in Cornwall. The videos come as a result of impending old age and also the need to do something positive with loads of photos and videos that can end up on the hard drive and never see the light of day. I generally end up learning more about the places we visit whilst making these videos that I do when actually visiting.
All videos are taken with a GoPro 8 and GoPro 11
