We Parked Our Van on Top of a Mountain! 🏔️ (France Vlog)

Is this the most beautiful part of France? 🇫🇷 Join us on a camper van road trip in northeast France, where we explore peaceful lakes, hidden waterfalls, rural villages of Alsace., and the breathtaking peaks through the Vosges mountains. This vlog is all about France van life, the vibe of slow travel, and discovering the real beauty of the French countryside — far away from the typical tourist routes. This isn't your typical "top 10 things to do" travel guide. Instead, we’re sharing our honest thoughts on France, showing you the raw reality of daily van life, and finding hidden gems like the Grande Cascade de Tendon and the misty peaks of Hohneck. From waking up beside the stunning Gérardmer lake to trekking through the "Hautes Chaumes," we wanted to capture the true France travel vibe—the quiet roads, the rural countryside, and the moments that make slow travel France so special. If you’re planning a France road trip or dreaming of Europe van life, this vlog is packed with inspiration for your next adventure. We explore the colorful streets of Kaysersberg-Vignoble, hike to crystal clear mountain, visiting lakes like Lac Blanc, and share what it’s really like living in a camper van in the Grand Est region. 🕒 Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: Welcome to the North East France! 00:27 Waking up at Gérardmer Lake & hitting the road 02:00 Exploring rural villages: The Girmont area 04:14 Hiking to Grande Cascade de Tendon (Stunning Waterfall) 08:50 First impressions of Gérardmer Lake 12:20 Trekking the Vosges Peaks: Hautes Chaumes 14:30 Secret Viewpoints: Lac d'Altenweiher & Lac de Blanchemer 15:38 The "King of the Vosges": Hiking Hohneck Peak 18:32 Visiting the famous Lac Blanc 20:06 Alsace Road Trip: Kaysersberg-Vignoble & Fairytale Streets This video is a travel vlog in as a part of our Europe van life travel series.
