It was a very cold night and unfortunately we'd left the heating off. So we left early for the ferry and embarked at 10:15 leaving a murky cold England behind. Ninety minutes later we arrived in a murky cold France. Filling up at the nearby Carefour fuel station we pushed south hoping for warmer weather. As we sped along the motorway of Northern France we took note of the snow drifts piled high on the hard shoulder the leftovers of last weeks snow storm. Eventually at around 7:30 we arrived at La Chapelle Saint Mesmin and found the well sign posted aire on the banks of the Loire. A very good aire that for 5 euros provides electricity and free wi fi. It would seem that this is an old campsite. The old toilet/ sanitary facilities are now boarded up but we were impressed with the easy access...just insert your credit card and follow the instructions in English. Good sized pitches (no hardstanding) and approximately 20 electric points.
