After 5 hours of driving, we arrived in Saumur, a city in the Loire valley. Our camping was on an island crossing the bridge from the city centre. Camping Offard, really good price, 17 euros, with very good facilities, plots very big and toilet paper and toilet seats, but the best is the swimming pool and bar/restaurant with views of […]
On our last day in the Dordogne area we went on a boat trip from La Roque-Gageac, classified by the French as their third favourite village, to the bridge at Castelnaud overlooked by the 12th-century castle. We went on the motorbike to the village and took the boat at 1.30 pm. This part of the river offers a unique insight […]
On Sunday we went to see the top of the town La Roque-Gageac as people told us it is beautiful and less tourist than the bottom part where the river is. So we went walking with Asha. To arrive at the top you go for a very steep road up to the mountain and to the top of the town. […]
Yesterday Saturday we went to see the Marqueyssac gardens. They are located on the top of a mountain and there is a lookout at 192 metres. The first thing you see when you are inside the gardens is the chateau where they explain to you how the gardens are done and what the gardeners do to maintain them. The gardeners […]
Mariana and Cor left yesterday towards an area where Cor can fish and on the way to Holland. So we said bye-bye to them until we visit them in Holland when we cross from England to Rotterdam. As I said in the last post, our Scottish friends, John and Susi, invited us for dinner with another couple from USA, Victor […]
Last Wednesday we went to another area in the Dordogne, to the camping La Plage where our friends from Scotland and our friends from Holland were already there. The camping La Plage is located in the river next to the town called La Roque-Gageac, a beautiful medieval town, 5 minutes walking from the camping. You can canoeing and fishing on […]
Last Saturday we went to France, going to Dordogne and the town Rocamadour. France is really good for motorhomes as you have rest areas every 20 kilometres with toilets, rubbish bins and tables and banks to sit and eat and you also can sleep there. We thought to stop in a restaurant in Toulouse but the restaurants in France close […]
We arrived at the town called Port de la Selva and at the Camping L’Arola through a mountain road really beautiful and without problems. The camping is right next to the beach and very simple, the owner called Gracia is very anarchist and told us that we don’t need to register and there are no rules in the camping, so […]
We went to Cadaques, the road is a very windy road in the mountains. My mobile stopped working so we have to follow Ben’s mobile. We arrived at Cadaques and the GPS took us through the town until we arrived at the town centre on the beach. The GPS was telling us to turn left but that was a narrow […]
We went to Ampurias following my cousin’s advice and we parked in a free area in a forest in front of the beach. The place is beautiful and really well located as it is 3 minutes to the ruins and 5 to the town of Ampurias and 10 minutes to L’Escala town. We met Rikky from Holland and Christian from […]
