Why Alsace Should Be Your Next Campervan Destination

Our 6 week campervan road trip is coming to an end and we are heading home. Join us as we drop into Liechtenstein, a new destination for us and we we then head to the beautiful Alsace region of France.

After a couple of days exploring, we reflect on the top 5 reasons why the Alsace should be on everyones travel bucket list. In this video we will cover:

The beautiful architecture of Colmar and the surrounding towns
The traffic free cycling trails thought the acres of vineyards
The history of this intriguing French/German region
The famous rooftop storks of Eguishein
The world class wine tasting

We are Richard and Jackie and we live in the UK. We retired from teaching at the age of 51 in the summer of 2022. Our plans for early requirement include relocating to the Yorkshire Dales, developing our forever home and travelling the UK, Europe and eventually the world in our VW campervan Nelson.

Alas, the end of a superlative seies. Brought back all the memories of the Dolomites, Austria and Alsace. Much better than anything on the television. May, many thanks for a wonderful journey.

Thanks for posting these videos. I have watched several episodes, but am new to your channel. I enjoy your attitudes, while not taking yourselves too serious providing great information, in a relaxed environment. Best!

Just got back from a 2.5week trip across France and deliberately incorporated Eguisheim because of this vid. Thanks for an ace tip - we loved Alsace and the Vosages area. We arrived a bit later in the year so missed the Storks but wow are their nest massive! We couldn't get into the campsite and the local aire was pricey but by fortune camped at the back of one of the wine producers yard for free - if you don't count the wine we selected after a long boozy tasting session with the owner and another couple staying there too :). Tips on planning and favourite pieces of kit (string bag for the fruit and veg) were a help too. Great stuff - thanks

I really enjoyed your European vacation! These last few villages of the Alsace region were picture perfect. Congratulations to your son and his fiancée on their engagement! I’m looking forward to your next journey up north!!

Even if it was very painful to hear you both mispronounce ‘Eguisheim’ every single time, I’m happy that you enjoyed the Alsace area. I just found your channel today and I’m binge watching your videos. I’m really enjoying your content.

Northern Isles! High on the bucket list!

[graemeroberts]

Another fab video guys. The Alsace region looks beautiful and those flights of wine would be right up our street. You have had a fabulous trip touring around Europe. Thanks for sharing with us. Looking forward to Orkney & Shetland. Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.

New to your channel and we are really enjoying it ! Love your honesty and attitudes 😊. Just watched your Dales walk, very well done !

[fionaridley]

totally agree...we enjoyed Alsace for a few days last year, was in high 30s after a week in Lorraine in the teens so a bit too hot! Unlike this year. Meandering on the vignoblke paths is great. We camped at Ribeauville, which was very similar. Fascinated by the storks, but agreed Colmar was too touristy. Ironic I know as we're all tourists. Great to combine with a visit to Vosges. A great 6 weeks adventuring, thank you for documenting.

[gillianh]

You will love Orkney & Shetland, they are so beautiful. 😊

[alanbenham]

Thank you for sharing your superb trip. I've added a lot of destinations and ideas to my wish list.
Also, I am loving the rate my shower segment.

[shapneil]

The last few episodes have been exceptional. I particularly like the rate my shower segment… We have just returned from a brilliant trip to Lake Annacy, lake Garda (wonderful) a few nights in the Dolomites (mind blowing) then a slow return mirroring a bit of your journey. Passed through Austria, Lichtenstein, a night in Switzerland and then The Alsace region of France. Loved every bit of it and can’t wait to go back. Now back in North Shropshire. You have given us a few ideas for Alsace again thank you and thanks for your vlogs they get better and better..

[alannorman]

Awesome series of films guys thank you.
We’re off to Shetland and Orkney soon too so looking forward to catching those vlogs.
Safe travels ❤❤.

[beverleyfisher]

One of our favourite places. We're lucky enough to have family there, making many visits over the years. Love camping in France, so easy. Really enjoy watching your travels.

[rojoontour]

[allisonbennett]

Ah lovely, another inspiring travel video. Looking forward to the cost breakdown for your trio. Really useful for a novice like myself. Also very much looking forward to your next adventure northwards. Safe travels guys 😊

Alsace is great and not flat. The Grand Ballon and Petit Ballon area, Markstein are some of our favourite places, Staying at the Markstein and watching the sun set/rise is one of our favourite things. Thanks for vid.
