You hit the bullseye Snow with the accompanying music about money. The South of France does everything it can to make it as difficult as possible for van travellers. They want to "reserve" it for the elites, rich and famous. Such a shame. It used to be one of the most pleasant places to be when I was young in the 70ties and 80ties.

Have a blast in Italy! As anywhere in the world, be cautious in larger cities, especially Rome, when parking the van. We've camped outside of larger cities and then taken public transportation into the city center.

You guys must come to Portugal, here you will find lots of camping sites and amazing friendly people. As far as tunnels, if you pass through the San Sebastian region in Spain / Basque Country area, you will definitely see much more tunnels. Last time I went driving there, on my way to France, I stopped counting at 80 tunnels in a 2 hours drive.

Portugal was by far, the one place I felt like I had lived there in another life. It is absolutely beautiful and I was treated by everyone I met, like I WAS a part of their families. It breaks my heart that I will never walk those streets, watch the largest surfing wave or be inside a palace that doesn't have any equals , nor will I breathe that air again. I hope, when I do leave this life, that I will have a chance once again to be where I once belonged. ❤

Thank you Curt and Snow for taking us to that enjoyable tour of Monaco. My favorite part was the Sunset! What a magnificent sight ❤ I will be awaiting your next adventure! Take good care folks!

I agree with others. Park outside the bigger cities and take the train. For example, Rome, Florence, Milan, Venice etc. Even a place like Siena you could park one train station away and then take the train in.

I also saw a lot of very nice resting spots with restaurants, bathrooms, playgrounds, etc, in German roads. I travelled a few thousand km in European roads, twice, and generally avoided larger cities.

That was a nice drive through. Beautiful place. Thank you for showing all these beautiful places. You both look well. Stay safe

Monaco looked magic at night with the lights, loved the gorgeous sunset those narrow roads are tricky you would need nerves of steel 😮💜

I agree with the height restrictions on the parking. I'm a disabled traveller, We've travelled down that way before and found I needed my mobility scooter to get out and about in but there are some campsites near the coast but you'd need to use either bikes or ubers to get into the main towns. We stayed in Biot a small walk to the beach, just outside Antibes and the train ran along the coast to Nice.

Enjoyed your video, especially the nighttime overlook of Monaco. Very much noticing the lack of the kind of freedom you experienced in South America though. But Europe is different and you just have to get used to it. Public transport is good here, not sketchy like Greyhound buses, and the trains and metro systems are really excellent. 🙂

Hi guys. Great videos as always. I live in England and travel extensively around Europe. It is increasingly becoming very expensive and very unsafe in any way. Pre pandemic, my area in london was one of the safest places you could live. Now, not a day goes by without a house being broken in or a car being stolen from the driveways. I will definitely rethink about my retirement living plan in a few years. Santa Catarina in Brazil is really calling me very loudly. Good weather, amazing beaches and mountains, excellent value for money and it doesn’t give me the unsecured feeling that I experience in Europe right now. Anyway, enough moaning. Good travels, be safe and super enjoy the best of it all in Italy.

Gosh, love you both so much. And it’s always a delight to see the kitties having a great time. For all its acclaim, Monaco is kind of soulless. Very congested, not very green, extremely regulated, and the playground for rich dudes with gold plated cars from Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and the like. But as always, I’m glued to the screen when you make a move. I think you’ll enjoy Italy a lot, very friendly and great food. But lots of crime in many areas, you will have to be extremely careful. Never both be out of the van and always double lock everything. You know, you’re both wise and experienced travelers.

The height of your motorhome is adding to the cost of your tolls on the French motorways, anything over 3 metres in height is class 3 which adds considerably to the toll. This is why many European motorhomes are less than 3M in height keeping them in class 2.

Oh and of course hugs and kisses to you sweet kitties, I love how you make sure they are happy whenever they go, I would do the same with mine, in fact just a short story if you have time. I never had kitties growing up and not as an adult, it was always dogs, and I am 65 now, but 5 years ago I was divorced and living in an apartment, a friend found 3 kittens in his barn and asked me to find a home for them because he couldn’t find the mom, my vet said they were about 4 weeks old, I had no idea how to take care of cats, they have a whole different personality than dogs , and I wasn’t supposed to have animals in my apartment, so I had to keep them hid. I fell in love with these little ones, I looked for homes for them but when it came time to part with them I couldn’t do it 😭, so I soon searched for a house where they would be happy running up and down stairs and looking out windows, they even have a grassy area that is fenced in to lay in the grass in the summer and chew on the blades. I know how you must love your kitties ❤❤. Thanks for you time, see you soon in Italy!!!! 😊😊😊😊 Your friend from Michigan, Susie

When youre done with Europe come to Cape Town South Africa we would love to welcome you here and it is beautiful and we have the most beautiful caravan parks with all the amenities to make your stay wonderful and then you can take some safaris and that will take you over the edge comfort and luxury in the African bush among the stars and variety of animals.

Monaco was pretty but I was nervous for Curt as he drove through those narrow streets.

I can fully understand why you fled from Périgueux to the French Riviera because of the weather but as you found out it's not that motorhome or caravan friendly. You really did miss a lot of beautiful French departments, Lot, Aveyron, Tarn and more. Hopefully you will return sometime as you will find a more friendly welcome, lots of free or cheap safe aire de services in the most beautiful villages.

Given that most of that area has been continuously occupied since ancient times it makes sense that the roads are smaller. A lot more history to work with. Also Marseille has a bad reputation in France, but the reality is more complex. My wife spent a semester in Aix en Provence with no problems way back in the last century. Most people train in and then rent cars to get around if they're going there to visit. Next time you're in the area find a safe spot to park and then go toodle around for a couple of days!
