Itinerary & programme
Saint-Émilion
Saint-Émilion is a charming wine-producing village in Gironde, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France, famous for its well-preserved medieval architecture and renowned vineyards. Nestling among the vines, the village offers a picturesque atmosphere with cobbled streets, ancient churches and fascinating wine cellars to explore.Aubeterre-sur-Dronne
Situated between Angoulême and Périgueux, Aubeterre-sur-Dronne is the perfect blend of Charente and Périgord, and one of its "nuggets" is an astonishing monolithic church.Saint-Jean-de-Côle
Saint-Jean-de-Côle is a picturesque village in the Dordogne, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, renowned for its well-preserved medieval architecture and charming cobbled streets.

10 km south-west of Sarlat, on the banks of the Dordogne, Beynac-et-Cazenac unveils its imposing castle, once besieged by Richard the Lionheart, at the foot of which rest houses with lauze roofs and pale facades.La Roque-Gageac
In the Périgord Noir, at the foot of a south-facing cliff, the golden houses with their lauze or brown tile roofs are reflected in the waters of the Dordogne where, in the 19th century, the famous gabares loaded with merchandise passed by.Belvès
Perched on its spur above the Nauze valley, in the Périgord Noir, the medieval town with its 7 bell towers has not been spared by invasions and wars, but has miraculously preserved magnificent traces of its built heritage.Monflanquin
Monflanquin is a medieval hilltop village in Lot-et-Garonne, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, renowned for its preserved architecture and panoramic views over the surrounding valley. The village offers an immersive experience of the region's history and natural beauty, with its cobbled streets and half-timbered houses.

A superb electric van experience with TheFamilyVan!
We set off from Bordeaux and met Noémie just a one-minute walk from Dax station, where she showed us the campervan. Noémie is really lovely, welcoming and very helpful. After a quick and clear handover, we hit the road for a vantrip in the Pyrenees. On the programme: discovering magnificent lakes, lovely hikes and glorious sunshine throughout the trip. As for the campervan itself, no problem at all, everything was spotless and easy to use. It was perfect, thank you TheFamilyVan!

We had an excellent trip thanks to thefamilyvan. We went as a couple with our two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, it was our first campervan trip and they played their part in making it unforgettable!
I had heard about this company on social media and I admit that the idea of travelling electric appealed to me from an ecological point of view.
Right from the booking, our questions about the car seat (which was bought for the occasion, thanks again!) and other details were answered very quickly.
The campervan was very pleasant to drive and everything you need was available. Camping chairs and a tent + sleeping bag were even provided. Everything is ultra practical and good-looking on top of that. The double mattress is very comfortable and suited all 3 of us!
You get used to electric very easily. We had a bit of a scare in the Spanish Basque mountains with the battery running down quickly, but if you know that, honestly we did not feel slowed down at all by the electric side. It is great to drive and to say to yourself that you can enjoy nature while polluting it a little less.
So we highly recommend the experience, and with thefamilyvan in particular. Thanks again to the whole team for the organisation and the quality equipment you make available.

We tried out TheVanFamily's electric campervan on a 4-day road trip in the Landes. We really enjoyed this eco-friendly and economical experience. Indeed, no need to fill up with petrol (that's the whole point) and for the charging, we stopped for the night at campsites or used rapid charging points during our lunch or sightseeing breaks. And what can I say about the layout of the van? Ideal for 1 or 2 people, it has a bed, a fridge and a kitchen area. A little studio flat on wheels, super practical. Personally, we're completely sold on this new concept.

A great experience
It was a great experience, a human, sporty and really enriching adventure. The idea of mixing a road trip in a campervan, with an electric vehicle, and all of it as a group makes the trip very interesting in every respect. As for the surf lessons, Antoine is quite simply the best! Both cool and a good teacher, he plays an important part in this trip by not limiting himself to his job as an instructor, he is a guide who is there from the beginning to the end of the trip. It was a real summer camp for grown-ups, I could not have hoped for better!!

A first time in an electric campervan that went really well!
A friendly team, quick to respond and ready to listen. There was everything you need to travel for a few days. We'd taken an extra little blanket given the temperatures (February). We hadn't planned a precise itinerary and made it up as we went along with places that were recommended or found online. Would do it again!

A really lovely discovery of the South West with the 100% electric campervan! Everything inside is well thought out and optimised. The campervan's range is enough for exploring the region over a few days. The The Family Van team took great care of us. Despite fairly chilly weather we made the most of it and we happily recommend them!

A great week in a van 🔥
The van has every comfort, the team super quick to respond if needed, it was a great first vanlife experience 😎There were three of us, so we chose the mattress-on-the-front-seats option for the 3rd bed and it was very good. Driving-wise, it's child's play and so is charging the van! In short, no reason not to give it a go :)

Vann well equipped and the battery has a good range. We were well looked after by WhatsApp and the Landes region is well set up for an electric road trip. Spot on and we'd do it again with the same family

We went as a couple for a week, roaming the French and Spanish Basque coast, as well as the Pyrenees. We came back with stars in our eyes:
- Very well equipped vehicles,
- magnificent landscapes,
- a tailor-made itinerary put together by the family van meaning we didn't have to ask ourselves a single question during the trip: a list of places to sleep and places to visit depending on what we fancied...
In short, all you have to do is let go and enjoy.

Great experience with TFV
Great experience with TFV! I really recommend it, an excellent opportunity to discover the south-west, "van life" and to meet some lovely people. A perfect balance between the van adventure, visits around the region, sporting activities and sociable moments. A special mention for Noémie for the organisation and for Ascelle for the pilates, they're perfect!
