Having lived amongst the vineyards of Burgundy and on the edge of the Champagne region for over a year now, I really did feel it was time to take the plunge and find out what all the fuss was about with wine tasting that’s going around. The winetasting we booked via the app was in […]
I knew that the southernmost tip of The Champagne region is at Les Riceys, not far from our depot but I had no idea there were 288 Champagne producers in this small commune alone! I also did not know the Champagne would be as good as that produced in the more famous areas around Epernay […]
France is a pretty big country and there are many different areas to explore but you don’t need to drive for miles to see some of the very best of them. The France Motorhome Hire depot is based in one of the most beautiful French regions of all, Burgundy. The wine marketing board have published […]
We have just waved “au revoir” to a couple from the UK (they wish to remain nameless as this blog might give them a bad reputation!) who made it their mission to spend less during their motorhome trip than they would have if they had stayed at home. They had some annual leave to use […]
If you are a Champagne lover living in any country other than France this blog might make you jealous but it should not! It should simply make you come to France where we quaff Champagne on weekdays because we can. We are a bit spoilt here being based just an hour and 20 mins from […]
Whilst eating out last week, I was reacquainted with one of my favourite wines, a Morgon from the Beaujolais region. Read on to find out about the ten Beaujolais appellations, where to take a Beaujolais motorhome tour and which Beaujolais is my favourite. (Hint: there’s nothing new about it!) Sadly, Beaujolais is all too often […]

Recent campervan hire clients, Anne and Jerry from the USA, sent us their brilliant diary of their 7-day “camping” trip through Burgundy, which we feel everyone will enjoy and learn from! Over to you Anne & Jerry: This trip report is done from an American’s perspective (desolé pour La Trump)… We’ve camped a lot in […]
Though surrounded by Burgundy’s great vineyards, I also have a favourite from the Loire Valley. Taste it and discover its vineyards on a campervan holiday. Being based in Burgundy, one of the world’s most famous wine regions, I tend to write about Burgundian wines pretty relentlessly but for the first seven years of my life […]
