Bienvenue! I think that is how you say welcome in Francais. What an amazing site these trailers must be going down those very narrow roads in the hills.

Aussi, bienvenue! Plusieurs des gens ici vivent le reve d'Airstream en France. Frederic.c01 a Amberieu en Bugey, par exemple. Et Castelmaurou, presque Toulouse? Nous aimons toujours les photos!

whaou; it's a nice surprise for me to receive so many answers talking about airstream trailers ....I will send pictures as soon as I know how to reduce them... to the right size.
I noticed that some members are "france afficionados ", well here there are people who try to live a sort of american dream in a french way...
tomorrow I ll be driving my excella from the town of tarbes to toulouse; that means all along the pyrénées mountains . it's spring time now down here ;the sun is warm and there's still snow everywhere......
I will have my eyes wide open for you all....

Welcome to the forums. What are the campgrounds like in France? We have been there just once, sped across the landscape on the train from London to visit friends in Paris. Much too short and quick for a beautiful country.
Good luck to you, hope to see the pictures soon.

you can find the best and the worst ....depends on the price ,the owner; and the speed of the wind... but there's one thing we appreciate in france ,it's a small country,you can spend one night in the mountain ;the next day at the sea;and the third day in a medieval village...that s why you should travel south next time you come to france ,and enjoy old stones ;nice landscape and excellent food...
there's only one problem : french people
they re too lazy and nobody here speaks english!!!
I feel ashamed ....

Bluegrass in France
Wow! An Airstream, French food and one of the best places to find Bluegrass music (believe it or not) is a festival in southern France...coming up soon. I love it when a plan comes together. Jean-Luc, do you know anything about Texas B- B -Q? Go's quite well with an Airstream on the road. Got pictures of the restaurant? Welcome!!

Jean-Luc! I have spent months at a time in the area around Pezenas/Montpellier & have been amazed at how many people have studied English compared with in the past. Which is a problem because I want to practice my French but now suddenly everyone wants to practice their English.
And they are SO pleased to have tourists down there.
But even in Paris I have seldom found the French to be rude. Which is a contrast with Chicago, that's fer damn sure ...

oh right, overlander63 just reminded me.
try coming to america & see how many of us have bothered to learn french or any OTHER language.
then you can learn what "lazy" really means.

One of the women in our WBCCI club (with a 2 digit WBCCI number) said she always thought Wally Byam was crazy for attempting his caravans in Latin America because he didn't know any Spanish. Of course that is why they were recruited later to take people on caravans there, because they knew the language.
Its funny though, as you travel through Europe, people want to speak English to you. They are excited about stretching themselves to use this language they learned in school. You really had to push yourself to speak their language because its easy to be "lazy" and let them bail you out.

some pictures of my airstream are available somewhere in the photos area, I'm not sure how to manage with them...
it's been very difficult to bring the trailer close to my house; the road and the gate are so narrow....
too bad ,I needed to work on the trailer; I must change my mind and park it somewhere else...
someplace easy cause I m always on the roads
I have also a question : I m not sure of the right "date of birth" for the airstream .
can somebody help me considering that it's an excella 2 model and it's been registered as number:21485
I thought it was 1972 but it's impossible (the blue color appears in the late 70's I think)
thanks

Encore j'essayerai mon français pour vous. J'espère ne pas vous dire comment faire le potage ! Du côté du bas de page, vous voyez un plat qui indique le "courant d'air". Il indique vous le nom du bas de page, et à quelques lettres et nombres emboutis dans le métal. Le numéro de série ceci est. Avec celui, nous pouvons vous aider.
