There’s so much to do when you live on the French canals. There’s villages and history to explore, and traveling is a joy. But don’t be stupid (like us) and ignore the weather warnings.
Beautiful Dijon
Dijon is the capital of the Burgundy region and has a beautiful city centre.
Adventures on the French Canals
And we’re off! Time to explore the waterways of France in our boat Laura.
The Adorable Village of St-Jean-de-Losne
St-Jean-de-Losne is a gorgeous little village with a big marina. It’s perfect for canal boats.
Back on the canal boat
We returned to the boat after 2 weeks in the camping car. It was time to stock up so that our adventures could begin. What was the number one priority in the pantry for Australians? Vegemite of course.
Meandering in the Camping Car
Our two week camping car adventure featured visits to Roanne, Macon and Bourg-en-Bresse where we celebrated Ivan’s birthday with a very special lunch.
The Stunning French Alpes
We visited the alpine region of France in the camping car. The scenery was stunning! We had our first and last fondue which proved that there is such as thing as too much cheese.
Oingt – Sorry, How Do You Pronounce That?
Oingt is a beautiful village in the heart of the Beaujolais region with a very unusual pronunciation. English speakers will appreciate this, especially if you are as immature as we are.
Camping Car Adventures in France
We hired a camping car to have a look at some different spots that we’d be unlikely to visit on the boat.
Lyon – What a Delight!
There was so much to do in Lyon and it’s well worth a visit. It’s also the gastronomy capital of the world.
