Saturday 19th September

Now into our second day here in Roquebrune sur argens. It's so peaceful here and feels so distant from stresses of the last few days of trekking up hills. We left the site at 8.45 this morning and walked the 30 minutes flat walk into town. A really charming town with medieval streets and a 10th century church. Had a relaxing coffee or two in the square. On the way back we found a delightful secondhand shop, where we browsed but agreed not to buy anything.Also noticed the large number of art galleries. A charming town. well worth visiting. Unfortunately When eating her butty one of barbs front teeth boke off she now looks a bit gummy in the front but has declared that she'll just have to keep her mouth shut. Every cloud has a silver lining as they say.

Friday 18th September.

Decided to move on. Cavalaire is definitely a place i would return to but would pre book one of the town sites next time. Great site Cros de Mouton but too far out of town and too hilly. Another positive was our two nights spent at the lovely site terraced restaurant. But today i was tempted to go for one of the many top commercial sites in the Frejus and St Raphael area, but felt Jonesy deserved a nice flat site with nice walks and a river to cool off in. Flower camping Moulin des icles , just outside Rocquebrune sur Argens ticked all the boxes. A true place to relax in. Plenty of shade with a lovely river full of large trout next to the pitches. 25 minute flat walk into town or 9 minutes on bike. Pool not massive but big enough to cool off in.

Thursday 17th September.

Arrived in Cavalaire sur Mer.Very busy, all the town sites full, yet again the most reasonable option is a site a 25 minute walk out of town up a steep hill. Great site, big shaded pitches with tap and electric on each pitch. Decent size pool with fantastic views. Also fabulous restaurant with terrace looking down the valley to the sea. Free bus to town 9.10 am on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Returns 11 am. Took the bus on Wednesday, great swim and coffee in town decided to walk back. really uncomfortable in heat which Jonesy didn't like at all. Previous evening tried it with bikes but couldn't do the last 200 metres with Jonesy in carriage. Yet again Barbara fell off her bike. Probably move on Saturday. Today Friday went to the town beach alone on bike. Lovely swim and without Jonesy in tow managed the hill return ok.

Tuesday 15th September

Left L'Artaudois site heading for Cavalaire sur mer.

13th September

Still on Camping L'Artaudois. We remain impressed with the site but not the hills. Spent the last few mornings in the local town at the foot of steady hill. Had coffee and today Sunday visited the car boot sale where we bought a silver plated bottle opener for 2 euros. Will probably go down the steep slope for another beach swim.

Friday 11th September

Arrived at Camping L'Artaudois near Toulon yesterday. Great site but a hilly location 20 minute walk to beach. Impressed with huge heated pool, nice pitch with water and electric 23 euros. Thought guy in pool looked like Tony Soprano.
