Camping Car Parks

We headed to Nevers with the books promising a lovely site on the Loire, a short walk into a medieval city and good views. The site was virtually full with long leads needed for the few hookups available. Short drive to the Camping Car Parks aire at St Pierre Le Moutier. 14 euros a night with electric, toilets and showers. Basically an old village campsite taken over by this chain and fully automated. Great value... Could that price be beaten? Well yes as our next stop in Millau was camping plage. 13 euros with the full works, bar riverside views, short walk into town, restaurant, swimming pool etc. Walked into town fabulous beer at our favourite bar. At 5.70 euros a pint the difference between uk and French prices seems to be diminishing.

Set off the blocks Saturday 26th August

Headed for the Flying Horse at Boughton Lees, 20 minutes drive to the tunnel. Great free overnight stop. The pub looks over a nice village green come cricket pitch. Large car park but also a well tended paddock at the back for motorhomes. All together there were about 6 parked up. Nice meal and beers, good kip and next morning away for 6.20am train. On time, hooray. Pleasant drive to Les Andeleys south of Rouen. Been to this site 3 times now and it just gets better. The views of The Seine are well worth the visit and so is the town,where we walked along the riverside nosing at the antique / car boot sale. Then into the town square for a beer. Tasty Pelforths. Great overnight stop.

Returned home Friday 26th May.

We stopped one night in Millau weather still decent so enjoyed a couple of pints at a bar in the city. Also another night at camping Sologne at salbris south of Orleans before having another night at Neufchatel en bray.
