Dinant, Belgium

Dinant, Belgium sits along the Muse River. It is a city lodged into the river valley giving it unbelievably pristine views. We stopped in Dinant to break up the drive between Luxembourg City and Delft, Netherlands. Instead of driving the RV into Dinant’s narrow streets we parked at the top of the Citadel. Be careful […]

An Afternoon in Luxembourg City

We popped into Luxembourg City for the afternoon mostly because we were passing through. We had no plan, which was the point of our France Passion trip, but found lots to do in the city. The first issue was where to park the RV. We had read online that the city parking lots could accommodate […]

Parc Merveilleux, Luxembourg

Parc Merveilleux is a truly European theme park and zoo located in Bettembourg, Luxembourg. It lacks the large rides that make up American “theme parks” and is instead filled with playgrounds, small animals and small rides. You can visit from Easter to early October. There is a parking lot across the street and when that […]

Touring French World War I Sights in Verdun

Verdun was high on Jeff’s visit list for this trip for its World War I sights. The Battle of Verdun was the longest battle of World War I on the western front. Verdun’s surrounding area is full of World War I sights. Our first stop was the Citadelle, built in 1634. The fort served as […]

Tasting Champagne in Epernay, France

I’m a big fan of sparkling wine, so when the chance to pass through the Champagne region of France presented itself we couldn’t pass it up. We headed to Epernay, which has titled itself the capitol of Champagne. Mercier is the big tourist draw in town. They have set up a full visit package. Tours […]

Leonardo da Vinci’s Gardens: Clos Luce Parc

As part of our France Passion RV road trip, we ended up at Chateau de Nitray for our overnight. We were looking forward to touring the property and tasting some of the wines. When we arrived, we could’t find anyone in the Chateau. We walked around a bit and left a note, as is the […]

French Mushroom Caves

“Champpignons Delalande” or as we called them, The Mushroom Caves, is one of those strange stops that you have to make when traveling around a country in an RV. We actually almost didn’t make it here. As we approached the bridge, a large warning sign said large vehicles should use caution. We were close to […]

Chateau du Rivau: Perfect for Kids

Upon leaving Nantes, our France Passion trip took us through the Loire Valley. We opened our books and found a lovely looking vineyard in a small French town and set our sights on a stopover. Chateau D’Epire was another amazing little find. This vineyard has been in the family for six generations. We popped in […]

The Incredible Machines of Nantes

This was one of those incredible finds that we almost passed by but turned out to be a full day adventure with the kids. The number one reason we thought about skipping this attraction was its location in a city. We were so nervous about driving through the city in the RV. It was touch […]

Exploring Mont Saint-Michel with Kids

Mont Saint-Michel, a historic fortified town and monastery in northeastern France, has been on our Europe bucket-list since we arrived. This iconic island is something I felt had to be seen. I also had large expectations about its grandeur. I was right that seeing and exploring the island was worth the trip, but it took up much […]
