Leaving the warm coast and heading north into rain…

Sunday 11th September – Nice to San Remo We left the campsite near Antibes and started to head around the coast towards San Remo stopping first at another of the ‘Beautiful villages of France’ called Sainte Agnes which was a fair way along a very winding and challenging road. This is a very pretty town with [...]

Tuesday 30th August - Ancient Graffiti After a restful stopover we continued our journey towards Provence with a stop off at Pont Du Gard (another on our list of places to go and highly recommended by many people – thank you).  This is a 2000 year old aqueduct build by the Romans and still nearly fully [...]

Dordogne to Provence via Rocamadour

Enjoying the Dordogne

Tuesday 23rd August 2016 - waking up in a vineyard and heading to the Dordogne We awoke in our vineyard to blazing sunshine and more amazing views. We left by 10.30am so didn't spend much time here as the beauty of the Dordogne awaits but we would certainly go back. On our trip 2 years ago we ran out [...]

Chilli con carne in a Mr D’s Thermal cooker

Yesterday I'd planned on trying out the new Mr D's Thermal cooker that we bought at the Peterborough show, but as I only pretend to be able to cook I didn't have any chilli powder in the house so it was postponed until after a visit to the shop.  We bought it because it seemed like a really [...]

Paris Motorhome Salon and heading home

From Giverny we headed back to the Paris Motorhome Salon which was taking place that weekend so we fancied a look.  They were offering overnight camping at the venue so we headed there early afternoon.  Chaos ensued as 100's of motorhomes' had descended on the area and were parked everywhere outside the venue.  We had read that the camping [...]

Monet Garden

Looking in our Aires books didn't give us any options near to Giverny or around the north west of Paris. This also means little or no services. Luckily we had read that motorhomes can stop over night in the Monet car park so we arrived around 4pm and sure enough we found the area adjacent to the coach [...]

Champagne in Champagne

Reims is the capital of the champagne region and doesn't it show it.  It has a beautiful gothic style cathedral and the town centre is filled with Tudor style wooden housing / shops of which quite a few are leaning in various directions.  Reims was beautiful even in the rain and we had a lovely wander around [...]
