Stephen Stills once compared leaving a new lover to ".Saying goodbye to Paris for the first time",but leaving Paris for me felt more like leaving an elderly Grandma. I enjoyed looking at all the old things but also knew that to try to touch them and experience their delights would cost me dearly. So we left with mixed feelings but glad that we had stopped by to say hello and accept that there was a mutual agreement to not feel obliged to return for quite a while. And so we drove 100 miles to the amazing aire at Châtillon-sur-Loire. River/canal views, electric, large HS pitch with grass section and table, toilets and showers after 1st April. All for 9.70 euros. We went on a bike ride along the Loire to Bonny, similar aire there. Great cycle paths along the Loire. It must go on for over a hundred miles. I once bought a lovely 1 man tent about 20 years ago for such bike trips. It's still in the wrapper in the garage. Must get it out for the grandkids to wreck.
