It sounds like quite the adventure!
I'm glad you made it safely to your family house in France.
It must have been exhausting with all those different modes of transportation, but at least you got there in the end.
I hope your next trip back to British Columbia goes more smoothly!

Yes, indeed, it was a little exhausting. But less than the trips I was doing several years ago: driving 1400 km in 14 hours from Hungary to France through Slovenia and Italy.
