Episode 1 – Lac Chambon and Murol Castle

Here is the first of seven episodes of my big drone video from our summer holiday. This first episode features Lac Chambon and Murol Castle.

The lake was stunning at dusk!

Music:
Garna Vutka – Romantic Wedding Piano
Nico Maximilian – Don’t Leave Our Earth Alone

Episode 2 – Chapelle Sainte Madeleine de Chalet

Here is the second of seven episodes of my big drone video from our summer holiday. This episode features a stunning Chapel called Chapelle Saint Madeleine de Chalet.

We were driving along the motorway and noticed it perched on the side of the mountain, so had to go and find it!

Music:
Matti Paalanen – Genesis

Episode 3 – Three Viaducts

Here is the third of seven episodes of my big drone video from our summer holiday. This episode features three viaducts, including Viaduc de Garabit (same designer as the Eiffel tower!), the Millau Viaduct (the worlds tallest bridge!), and finally Pont St-Nicolas de Campagnac.

We drove under, and then over the Millau Viaduct, which was an amazing experience!

Sweet Play – Flight
José Manuel González Núñez – Delirium

Episode 4 – Pont du Gard

Here is the fourth of seven episodes of my big drone video from our summer holiday. This episode features Pont du Gard, which is a 2000 year old Roman Aqueduct, and is a marvel of engineering and beauty.

To capture this video, I woke up at 5:30am, drove for around 35 minutes and then hiked for a further 25-30 minutes to reach the aqueduct just in time for the sunrise. It was well worth it!

Episode 5 – Sunflowers, Horses and Vines

Here’s episode five!  It features a stunning field of sunflowers that we came across, the special turret that we stayed in for one night, and also some sunrise shots around Eguisheim.

Music:
DJ Nen – Red Summer

Episode 6 – Les Trois Chateaux

Here’s episode six, which features the Trois Chateaux. These impressive ruins sit above the beautiful town of Eguisheim in the Alsace region of France. I got there nice and early to get the sunrise.

There is also some footage of the near endless fields of vines that cover the Alsace region.

Music:
Antarctic Breeze – I Will Remember

Episode 7 – The Final Few Days

Here’s the final episode, which features Col de la Schlucht (a summer luge; great fun!), the Marin Le Meslee Monument, which is a monument to a WW2 French fighter pilot, and our final nights accommodation on Lac D’Ailette.

I hope you’ve enjoyed these seven episodes of our fantastic holiday around France! 🙂
