Where are all the brits (1 Viewer)

[chaser]

I know it will be said they saw me coming but just where are all the Brits in this buetiful sun in France we have been down here 3 weeks and can count on one hand Brits we have met, much the same for Germans and Dutch .
We have been to mortagne today and every van there was French.
Just never seen it like this before no idea the reason.

Agree with you, we have met loads of Dutch, Germans and French and about 6 Brits and that is in about 8 weeks!

Hey ho!

 

[Richard n Ann]

Sounds about right, we never see many in France. More in Spain... And flippin loads in Benidorm

 

[Ali n Tim]

We have found the same. At the moment we are on the Aire in St Denis d’Oleron and we are the only Brits! The same on the way down except at Nonancourt where we Brits outnumbered the French Bumped into Derek & June @Portland there!

just where are all the Brits

On the Moselle of course.

 

[Clarky]

We are all on the way home.
Several Brits here at La Mailleraye, including @Sparkly, who is parked next to us.

Like you though, we really haven’t seen many Brits in our six weeks.

Richard.

 

[Larrynwin]

Saw quite a few Brits in Germany, perhaps it’s the French

IMO It's down to the availability of Aires and little or no restriction as to where you can sleep in your van....in other words there are just more French registered MHs

Been in France and Northern Spain for over 3 weeks...hardly any Brits....mostly French then German and Dutch

 

[BobtheBass]

Most of the aires we have been on for the last few weeks have been rammed full of French vans with just the odd Brit, yet the commercial aire we are on now in Locronan, which is a gorgeous small town full of tourists only has us and two German vans. The car parks dotted around the town have loads of French vans on them and there is a never ending stream of vans stopping at the barrier to our aire, reading the notice and driving off. The reason? It's nearly 10€ for the night to stay with no electricity. Obviously the exchange rate has put Brits off coming but I think we have a long way to go to match the French for parsimony!

On the Mosel for two weeks and saw hardly any Brit MoHo, or French come to that 90% German , 7% Dutch 2% Belgian , 1/2% French and 1/2% Brit why I think of it no Chinese MoHo either

Find yourself a nice campsite and there will be plenty around. Here’s in Grimaud and there are plenty.

 

[DP+JAY]

We're at Dun sur Meuse. Not seen many though , just a few at Trittenheim.

 

[klaatu]

Seems to be mainly Dutch here in Burgundy.

Very few British in Alsace, such a beautiful area (as is the rest of France) but plenty of French Dutch, German and strangely Danes.

 

[Portland]

We're at Orolone st Marie, ready to do the Somport tunnel tomorrow. Not a Brit all day.heading for the rain and wind that's forecast for the Benidorm area.

 

[Chockswahay]

Talmont-sur-Gironde right now, spent last two weeks making our way down from Cherbourg.

Barely seen another Brit!

I’m not complaining, makes me feel like I’m actually abroad

I rarely see another Brit on my travels.

 

[Drexxer]

In 18 days travelling around France, Italy and Switzerland we only saw 1 other brit on a campsite at peschera del garda

Only good morning was exchanged!, would have been nice to have had a few drinks with some other couple as previous years

 

[rod_vw]

We're at Dun sur Meuse. Not seen many though , just a few at Trittenheim.

You weren't there yesterday when we passed through.

I am afraid Dun sur Meuse has lost it some how especially now that you can only park 'car-park' style and not along the bank by the farm. I gather that the talkative French lady no-longer collects the money and you should go the the captainairy (spelling) to pay.
We are now at Mouzon where the facilities are similar but as everyone says very few English seen during the past four weeks. There is one here with us tonight making two English, one French, one Belgian and one German.

@Portland Hi Derek and June have a safe journey and a good time in Benidorm, we should have been there 2 weeks ago but we’ve had to put everything on hold.
Hope to meet up again next year.

John, Pat and Roxy.

Probably most have got more sense.

Which Mortagne? Because me and fidget ar at Mortagne-au-Perche today...

 

[maison]

We have just returned from five months in France and, yes, we have noticed the absence of Brit m/hs this year.

Strangely we have seen an increase in Swiss and Swedish m/h s, something we have never noticed before.

 

[TerryL]

We noticed a number of Swedish m/hs on our way north through France. I would surmise they are on their annual migration to the sun in Spain.

[Garfields]

Only seen three Brits in the two weeks we were in Germany including the Mossel and they were all in the last couple of days we were there.
We were mainly on campsites though

"Where are all the Brits?"

Maybe some are hiding away from other Brits in order to broaden their minds by absorbing a bit of different cultures, meeting other nationalities and experiencing new stuff...


On the other hand, I guess (only guess) that if one wants to meet lots of Brits, then Blighty might be a good place to start.

When we were in Spain late spring we noticed a lot more French. Spoke to a few of them who said that their country is now too expensive. They were getting fed up with the expense of tolls and the prices of drink and foodstuffs. Maybe some of the brits are turning their backs on France for the same reason.
