European Tour Episode One Leyland to Riquewihr

Hello and thank you for tuning into our channel.

We have set off on our six week tour of France, Nice, Switzerland, Germany “Black Forest Region” and Northern Germany, Gorge de Verdon and other southern areas of France.

We traveled from Leyland to Folkestone, stayed at a caravan and motorhome club site then on to Luxembourg where we stayed overnight on a camping car AIRE, we then traveled down towards Colmar in France onto a campsite at Riquewihr and stayed for 4 nights. We have visited Riquewihr and Ribeauville while making this video.

We have used “what three words” to help you locate the stops accurately in the event you want to tour the same route.

So far the weather has been mixed and what I really mean is plenty of rain, hail, Wind and some sunshine, but cold, around 6-8 degrees.

The places visited are all in a 20 minute radius of Colmar and are Medieval Towns boasting historical buildings etc, all well worth visiting. These are very pretty places of France in the Alsace region, renown for wine making.

I have included some links below to help you research if you are interested.

If you have a motorhome, parking is available in these villages in some car parks.

I hope you will follow us on our journey and find our videos satisfying, interesting and funny in some parts.
