We explore General De Gaulle’s SECRET hideaway.
We are Carol & Ken and we like touring in our Consort Nova motorhome called Snoopy. This is Episode 12 of our tour of the beautiful Grand Est region of France. We head to the peaceful village of Colombey-les-Deux-Églises – the former home of General Charles de Gaulle. Discover his memorial, the impressive Cross of Lorraine, a Mirage jet display, presidential limousines, and insights into his life. Plus, we treat ourselves to a delicious traditional French lunch! Perfect for travellers who love history, French culture, and van life inspiration. If you’re planning a France road trip or motorhome holiday, this is for you!
