Our journey around Europe by motorhome, post by post and newest first: where we went, where we parked and what we thought.
We decided to stop in Arta, the capital of Epirus, because it's full of archaeological sites and brimming with life, with charming pedestrian areas, cafes, and bars. Arta is famous for its bridge, its Byzantine castle, and National Resistance Square.…
Ammoudia is a tiny village on the Ionian coast, with lots of tavernas and a fishing port where you can buy fish directly from the fishermen when they return in the morning. The village sits on a fine sandy beach…
After 20 hours on the ferry and sleeping on the bar's sofas, we decided to go somewhere nearby to relax and chose Plataria. We only knew it was a beach town, and we loved it. Primarily used as a marina,…
We decided to visit Fano before taking the ferry to Greece. When we visited Fano, we discovered a very lively city with a beautiful old town. We were told that the city dates back 2,000 years and it was founded…

We went to Spotorno, in the province of Savona, because we had read that it was a charming coastal town with beautiful beaches and historic buildings. And it certainly didn't disappoint. We loved the town centre, full of narrow streets…
San Lorenzo al Mare was our first stop in Italy. We decided to go there because we saw that it was a charming coastal town located on the Riviera dei Fiori in Liguria. We loved its old town with its…
The only thing we knew about Saint-Tropez was its reputation for glamour and luxury on the French Riviera, so we had to see it. We were expecting a town overflowing with luxury, but instead we found a very ordinary little…
We had heard a lot about Pampelonne Beach, but we didn't know why it was so famous. It turns out it became famous thanks to Brigitte Bardot, who filmed the movie "And God Created Woman" there, transforming this pristine spot…
