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

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.

Thursday 10th September just arrived on French Riviera.

We spent last night in Sisteron, nice overnight stopover on the river. Another scouser on the next pitch so we exchanged best money saving scams and ideas and laughed about our travel mishaps. Watched the Liverpool v Athletico game and drank yet more beer and wine. Left site just after 9am ,arrived on med coast around 11.30. photos of Sisteron.

Wednesday 9th September.

We left Le Bourg d'Oissons after 3 relaxing days on Camping Cascade. I like the very relaxed attitude here to booking in and payment, basically they want you to drive in and find your own pitch. No closure for lunch, no barrier , not even a registration process, just pay when you leave. Also unlike the other sites in the area the swimming pool was still open and boy did we need it with temperatures for the 3 days at 32c.Everything is clean although quite basic and everything works. Pleasant town with plenty of coffee shops and outdoor wear shops all selling there clothes off at end of season sale.
