We spent the night at a lovely little multi-purpose centre with a spacious car park in the middle of nowhere, about 15 minutes from Vaison-la-Romaine. When we arrived, there was already another camper parked up, so we made sure to choose a spot that wouldn’t disturb anyone. It was a peaceful night and the location turned out to be an excellent starting point for walking and cycling.
After Cuiseaux we headed straight to Orange. On Google Maps it looked absolutely lovely, with its ancient theatre and maze of little alleyways. When we arrived, however, disappointment set in rather quickly. The theatre was almost completely hidden behind scaffolding, the hilltop park was closed due to construction work and the little alleyways were, quite frankly, a bit underwhelming compared to what we had seen so far.
Yet another lovely village we discovered completely by accident. Once again, we simply picked a place on Park4Night. We noticed that Cuiseaux had a free and surprisingly modern aire with full services — even free electricity. (Not that we really need or use shore power, but it’s still amazing that some villages offer it for free.) So we parked up and went for a walk through the village.
... from before van life
Glacial roads, endless pine forests, and the build that prepped us for winter.
Ferry hops, sea-side park ups, and the calm rhythm of the Danish west coast.
Ever since we met we discovered that we share the same passion for traveling and discovering nature and foreign cultures. We love to hike and anything that ups the adrenalin levels. After one of our first multi day hikes (West Highland Way) we started toying with the idea to get our own van. We decided to stress test that type of traveling with a 4 week camping trip through Canada.
It blew our minds and we discovered that we love this mode of traveling. The freedom is just incredible and that is exactly what we are looking for.
So, in 2024 we finally got our van Wilma and are now getting ready for the great escape … err… adventure!
