From Slovenia to the Edge of the Atlantic | Normandy & Brittany Motorhome Journey with Two Dogs

We started this journey from Slovenia, not knowing exactly what to expect – only that we wanted the open road, the Atlantic coast, and time together. What followed was a 2,200 km one-way motorhome journey to Normandy and Brittany, guided by curiosity, nature, and the freedom of van life. Traveling with our two dogs – a Border Collie and a Standard Poodle – we explored dramatic cliffs, windswept beaches, historic villages, and places where history feels heavy and real. From quiet mornings parked near the sea to long coastal hikes and evenings wrapped in ocean air, this trip became more than just travel – it became a memory we will always carry with us. This film is about road trip life, traveling with dogs, wild coasts, and the simple joy of moving through landscapes without rushing. This full-length motorhome road trip film follows our journey from Slovenia to the Atlantic coast of France, through Normandy and Brittany, with a short return through Alsace. Along the way, we visited iconic places such as Étretat, Omaha Beach, Mont-Saint-Michel, as well as quieter coastal paths, villages, and peaceful overnight spots away from crowds.
