As we mentioned in our last post, there was one more highlight waiting for us before heading to Nice: the Cascades du Saut du Loup. A fairytale-like waterfall hidden away in a narrow gorge.
Sadly, all good things have to come to an end and so did our stay at the fantastic Lac de Sainte-Croix. On the bright side, there was still so much more to explore in Provence and we decided it was finally time to find out what all the fuss about Nice was. Since Nice is a big city, that meant booking ourselves into a campsite once again. Our research showed that most campsites are located some distance outside the city, which meant commuting in every day. So we decided it would make the most sense to visit Nice over a weekend, giving us a couple of extra days to relax in the countryside or explore yet another tiny and lovely village. That village turned out to be Bargemon.
What is the one thing everyone immediately thinks of when you mention southern France, specifically Provence? Correct! “Herbes de Provence” – your favourite herbs mix from your local supermarket. No, just kidding! It’s the lavender fields, of course. Endless fields of lavender and the scent of it everywhere. And let me say this right away: the scent really is everywhere. And it’s absolutely wonderful.
... 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!
