We’ve arrived in Paris! Rather than a city of love, we’ve found a city of scammers! Join us this week as we camp in a campsite within the Periferique and spend a wonderful day walking and exploring the many historic sights and sounds of this glorious city!
Our campsite in Paris was Camping de Paris - maps.app.goo.gl/dWpfKuHSWT1bm...
We booked our tour with Guru Walk, Jason was excellent: www.guruwalk.com/paris
Our family have been roaming around the UK, Europe and US since 2007. We set off on each trip with only a rough destination in mind, allowing the roads we take and places we stop to evolve as we meet new friends along the way.
Join our Community : We are really excited to connect with you and the rest of our lovely community over on our friendly Facebook group:

I’m glad you came clean about the shared bathroom at the end. I do a lot of motor cycle touring and the thought of having a clean shower block at the end of the day is the icing on the cake. They usually are and the fact they’re shared matters not one bit. I’ve just spent a couple of days in the marina at La Rochelle. The washrooms there were as good as ever despite being shared. I’m also a fan of cheap overnight hotels now and again when travelling and I really don’t understand how so many other travellers don’t see them for what they are, a cheap, clean place to have a good nights sleep. If I use one while motorcycling it’s probably because the weather is really awful, I’m already soaked and can’t face me and my wet gear sharing a tent so a nice warm dry hotel room is a welcome sight. I cannot relate to people who need luxury in those situations.

Its very generous of you to keep making videos of your adventures . Hope you manage to get plenty of downtime without the camera and are able to enjoy family moments without thinking this would make good content. We've watched your channel for some time now and often wonder how you manage raising family, family and friends relationships, running a company, and blogging commitments. You must have lots of energy!

In July 2022 I spent a week on holiday to France. Because we got to France on P&O and coach on the Sunday - 38 in group it was the end of the Tour de France during this time the coach had to drive around the city. We stayed Novotel in Saclay Great hotel. Went to see Palace of Versailles Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte - Drax’s mansion lair in Moonraker and a few other places in Paris. Montmatre also The only issue a good issue was we travelled during that really hot weather when in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿it was 40 degrees for those few days and it was hot in Paris I also went with my parents a few times once in 1984, once in 1985 and once in 2004 with my mother Another great video 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍 👍 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Good vlog again. I actually managed to find a free parkup on the western side of Paris; just inside the peripherique by the Porte d'Auteuil, and a few hundred meters north of the Roland Garros arena, behind the Hippodrome [racecourse] d'Auteil. Relatively safe, and surprisingly quiet at night. 12mins bike ride across the Bois de Boulogne from Camping de Paris 👍💙❤

A really enjoyable bimble round Paris, Steve and Lyndsey. I'd love to take Viv-i-van there next year if i pluck up the courage to drive abroad lol ( you'll probably say its easy peasy lol) You guys really showed how bril it was to visit. I was impressed with the campsite too. A tad on the expensive side but having holidayed in France pre covid ( I didn't drive) I know since covid, literally every campsite everywhere likes to pump customers for money so its par for the course everywhere. Its been fun watchng you drive the hire camper back in this series and its deffo something I'd love to try myself. As ever, much respect to you and the family 🙏- Kenny

When we were last in Paris amongst other scams someone tried the 'gold ring' one. A woman 'found' a gold ring in front of us and said to my husband she'd sell it to him to give to me. We'd heard about this so my OH said we should all go to the police station to hand it in whereupon she scarpered. Still love Paris but I don't think I've ever been anywhere where it is so blatant and bad.

On this particular vlog we left our big Sony ZV-E1 camera with shotgun mic that we use for most of our vlogs at the van and just took a small DJI Action 4 with the DJI Mic 2’s, as we also did in Venice, as it’s a much more discrete and lighter weight setup for walking around cities. And believe me it made a massive difference to the audio quality, especially in the shots where we panned the camera or Lynds was a distance away where the audio from the shotgun mic would have been lost.
