Next stop Calais

BBQ in Florac near Rouen

Penultimate site before the ferry. The sun has come out again for our last few relaxing days in France.

From Limoges to St Malo

Arrived in St Malo just as the sun was setting. Visited the walled city for lunch on Sunday.

Côte de Beaune

Beaune, the wine capital of Burgundy in the Cote d’Or

The Joy of Camping

First rain in ten weeks!

Bourg d’Oisans, Les Alps.

Now back in glorious sunshine we find a lovely campsite surrounded on all sides by massive mountains. Strangely we hear English spoken for the first time in weeks by British cyclists all here for the Tour De France which arrives on local roads in a couple of days. Talking of cycling, La fell off again and has now been banned from the peddles!

Switch back turns and washed out roads!

Interesteing journey accross the mountains as we see our first real rain since we left home.

Lavender's Blue, Dilly Dilly

Provence at it's best.

Lac de Sainte-Croix

Then in the afternoon we had this lovely view for our picnic lunch bought at the Aups market.

Serendipity in Aups en Provence

By happy accident found this delightful town on market day.

Le Chateau de L'Eouviere

Northern Provence within sight of the Alps (just).

Saintes Maries de la Mer

Flamingos in the Camargue, south coast of France.

Cycling Injury!

La is indicating where her bicycle has attacked her yet again. Paramedics not required, only a large sticking plaster and a strong Pimms.

L'étang d'Ingril

After a nine hour journey from Northern Spain to avoid bad weather we arrive on the French Mediteranian coast to find this wonderful coastal lagoon complex near Montpellier.

Itziar

One of the best locations we have stayed in with idyllic views from our pitch of the Spanish coast near the French border.

Santillana del Mar

The cobblestone streets of this little village are stuffed with a spectacular collection of grand medieval buildings. Inevitably it has become a tourist trap and now has the Disney feel about it.

Picos de Europa

How many vistas can you cram into a half day drive? Any attempt at a record should start here with high mountains, deep gorges, crystal clear rivers, vast reservoirs, lush hillsides, deep blue skies, butterflies galore, eagles and late flowering broom.

Four days relaxation

Costa Verde

Camping La Paz, probably the best location any campsite could have. Lush mountains of the Picos de Europa as a backdrop, a small cove on the Atlantic at it's feet. The pic below is the view from Molly.

Pimms La Paz
