🟡 buy us a coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Lifeisto...

We are Carol & Ken & we like touring in our Consort Nova motorhome called Snoopy.

Welcome back to our campervan adventures! Join us as we explore the stunning Grand Est region of France in our trusty van, Snoopy. From shopping at Decathlon for a new rucksack to cooking chilli on a wonky pitch, we head into the Vosges hills to the eerie Col de la Schlucht – the highest paved pass at 1,139m! Discover hiking trails, closed ski spots, and breathtaking views towards the Black Forest. Then, it’s off to the historic Trois Châteaux ruins for a steep walk and medieval history. Perfect for over-55 travellers dreaming of France road trips, campervan life, and scenic wonders.
If you’re over 55 and love slow travel, retirement adventures, or motorhome tips, hit subscribe and join our journey! What’s your favourite French region? Comment below.
