france

I have read the France is open to tourists from tomorrow 15th June. Is anybody going ? or have plans to go ?

Can anybody recommend a decent camp site near (or maybe even overlooking) one of the Normandy beaches for late May / early June? I thought I’d found a goodun in Camping Omaha Beach but my wife quickly vetoed it after reading some fairly recent reviews with (very) critical comments about the...

I've avoided driving in through France by choice on all other trips we've made, but now we have to do 25kms before we cross into Belgium. I understand the France requires me to carry an assortment of driving related items with the van, legally. My question to the forum is do I really need these...

It looks like we will have some time free for a longer campervan trip in early October. We want to go to Scotland, but I suspect it could be a bit fresh up there doing something like the NC500. We have friends in the South of France, so could drop down there, then move on to Spain and Portugal...

We’ve recently returned from our 3 week French trip, to be greeted with a speeding fine already waiting for us! Luckily it’s only €45 (as long as it is paid within a set period). Has anyone else been unfortunate enough to get one, and more importantly does it have to be paid? I wondered if it...

Hi guys ! I'm Polo, from Dijon, France. I'm looking for a solution to lower my future T6. French forums aren't as specialized on lowering than english ones :laugh: Hope I'll find something here :cool:

Hi guys I have a 2018 t6 and i'm converting it to travel a bit. I'm planning to realize phonic and thermic insulation by projected cork (i'll post some pictures when done) and dodo mat thermic insulation. But for now i'm trying to find a leisure battery to fit under driver seat (left steering...

Anyone on here going for the 24hrs?

So we're off to France for a couple of weeks in the van for the first time soon but having never taken the van (or a car for that matter) over there we're trying to work out what the toll cost is likely to be At the moment our plan is very lose in terms of where we are going but a rough plan...

We are travelling to Europe soon and reading up on what we need to take it says we need headlight adjustment. I remember years ago we used to put a sticker on the headlight to stop the glare. Is this still the case or is there a different system or way of adjusting the headlights for European...

:smile bounce: Hi Folks Am off to France again later in the year. Going to use Brittany Ferries. Anybody got a friends and families code that they are happy to offer to a T6 “Friend”?

I have a 2017 T6 with the Discover Media head unit. I originally thought the satnav was rubbish as I couldnt search for postcodes via "new destination" option, as it seemd to not accept more than 4 characters. After some initial hatred of the unit, I then read on a blog that you have to dig...

A question asked many times and probably answered before however here is the official website for fuel prices in France... Prix des carburants en France, site gouvernemental I believe it is updated daily, if you dig deep enough you can even download the data. Rod

Just done a trip around France and met up with my step son who has converted a crafter. He has been touring for 3 months so great to see him again. This is my wife next to the vans, great trip and some amazing wine

Its our first time driving through France this year and we are looking for advice. From the eurotunnel to the south of France google maps has the fastest route going through Paris. I imagine this is a bad idea so maybe take a longer route down. We are heading to Luchon for le tour and heading...

We did Scotland last year and for all the positives, Mrs Chopman wants some warmer weather next year. I've heard good things about both of these destinations, and I think I'm leaning towards the Dordogne as it's a bit further south - so maybe better weather - and everyone says it is beautiful...

It's that time of year again....dark days and long nights so starting to think about adventures and trips for next year. Looking at crossing from Portsmouth to France. Anybody out there done Brittany and southwards towards Ile de Rey? Recommendations for sites etc? Not to be missed? :cool: Roll...

Well I got my van back today! I've been burdened with an eye for detail for as long as I can remember.........I can spot shoddy workmanship at a 1000 yards.......and I usually end up disappointed to some degree or other. Drives my wife nuts! Not today though!! It was with a degree of trepidation...

Hi. I am new to the forum and loving all the advice. I have a new t6 SWB edition 6 velle and for my holiday trips i plan to remove the two middle seats and push the bench seat forward. I am after then installing some sort of luggage gaurd and load up all the luggage so nothing comes into the...
