    Visited the French region Vosges a few weeks back with our VW campervan.
    It's beautiful there and people we met were very friendly.
    We stayed on a campsite near Corcieux in the middle of the woods.
    Here's some pics to let you guys tag along.
    Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

    General view of the area:

    Had to be sharp to spot an occasional ruine between the trees
    Guinness enjoyed it even more than we did :) He's got great camouflage between these trees.
