Tours

It was quite a long and boring drive to Tours, so we listened to lots of podcasts on the way to keep ourselves entertained. The campsite in Tours is an ACSI €18/night one, located a 20 minute bus ride from the centre. Despite the wet weather, we braved it into town both days. It’s situated … Read more

Bordeaux

We’ve now spent a week in Bordeaux. It’s a university town, with a huge campus sprawling right across the outskirts of the city. The bus and tram ride from the campsite to the centre of town takes around 40 minutes, though this would probably take less than half that time if the bus didn’t wind … Read more

From Burgos to Bordeaux

Having had to skip Pamplona because of the bad weather, our last stop in Spain was at San Sebastián – just like it was the last time we left Spain in May 2017. The 250km drive was OK to start with, but the weather soon turned, alternating between heavy rain and snow. Although it didn’t … Read more

From Montpellier to Roses

Having arrived in Montpellier a day earlier than expected to escape the snow in Millau, we ended up staying there for three nights. The aire was located on the outskirts of the city, secured by an electric gate. All the while we were there, the weather was atrocious with almost non-stop heavy rain regularly turning … Read more

From St Cyprien to Reyrevignes

We’ve had a busy week since the last update from St Cyprien, so this post is a bit longer than normal with more photos – you might want to put a brew on! There was a Carrefour at St Cyprien with a laundrette in the car park, so before moving on Carol caught up with … Read more

From Speyer to Jaligny-sur-Besbre

We’ve decided that we’ll be spending winter in Spain, so over the next few weeks we’ll be travelling through France. Current thinking is that we’ll be visiting the Dordogne region, a pretty wine producing area with several villages which are rated amongst ‘Les Plus Beaux Villages de France’, and from there we’ll head south to … Read more

Luxembourg

On our way to Luxembourg we stopped for the night at a nice quiet aire in the French village of Marcoing. The free aire was unusual in that the electric hook up was only available when the street lighting came on, so we had to wait until about 9:30 before we could plug all of … Read more

Back on the road…

After learning that my Dad had passed away, we fast tracked our way through Germany to France, and spent around a week on a lovely aire in Stenay (about a day’s drive from Calais) whilst the funeral arrangements were being made. Taking the tunnel back to the UK, we drove to the Sewardstone camp site … Read more
