We went to Gémenos because it was only 20 kilometres from Marseille and we’d seen that you could catch a bus from the campsite, but nothing went as planned. We didn’t know that Gemenos was nestled at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by streams and offering beautiful views. It’s a small but very pretty village, thanks to its mountain […]
Béziers is a city near Narbonne, and we liked it much more than Narbonne itself. It’s one of the oldest cities in France, very lively, with a beautiful park surrounded by statues of poets and sculptors, as well as a 13th-century cathedral with incredible views and nine locks on the Canal du Midi. We loved it! Where to stay We […]
Narbonne is bisected by the Canal de la Robine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is famous for its historical heritage. What we enjoyed most was its lively canalside market and the picturesque Passage de l’Ancre, located next to the Cathedral and the Palace. Where to stay We stayed at Camping Les Floralys (43.166087, 3.036483 latitude, longitude) next to the […]
Leucate is a fishing village located on a peninsula between the Mediterranean Sea and the Leucate Lagoon. The lagoon is beautiful, with houses and boats lining its shores. Leucate’s harbour is quite lively with bars, restaurants, and shops. But the highlight for us was the oyster farms, situated in a small harbour with seafood restaurants overlooking the sea and the […]
We went to Collioure because our friend María José told us we had to, since it’s beautiful. So, following her advice, we went, and it’s stunning, as you’ll see in the photos. Following the policeman’s advice, we went to the centre of Port-Vendres to catch the bus. There was no one at the bus stop, and since we didn’t know […]
Port-Vendres is 20 km from the Spanish border, and we chose to visit it because it appears to be a charming fishing village, known for its secluded coves, harbour, and military heritage, most notably Fort Béar. You can also visit the neighbouring town of Collioure and walk the coastal path, which offers breathtaking views. Where to stay We stayed at […]
We went to Llançà because it’s 20 km from the French border and has a free motorhome area. The town is very small but very pretty. Highlights include the old town, with the Church of Sant Vicenç and its Romanesque tower; the seafront promenade, with its restaurants; the coves; and the views from the Castellar Islet. Where to stay We […]
As I mentioned in my last blog post, we went to see Roses on the motorbike. Roses has an impressive citadel, a lively seafront promenade, and a beach with views of Empuriabrava. What to see We parked right at the entrance to the Citadel and went in. To the right of the entrance is a museum, which we didn’t visit […]
We chose Empuriabrava because it had a better and cheaper motorhome area than Roses, and we could visit Roses from there. To our surprise, upon arrival, we discovered that Empuriabrava is the Venice of Spain. The entire town is crisscrossed by navigable canals that lead to the port, which is full of beautiful spots. We were also told that it’s […]
We visited Santa Pau because we had heard it was one of the 10 most beautiful towns in the province of Girona, and it didn’t disappoint. Santa Pau stands out as a historical and artistic monument. The views from the viewpoint square are incredible; they were our favourite part. Where to stay We stayed at the municipal motorhome area (42.146931, […]
