The Good, the Great and the Nasty

October 20, 2016 - Margaret 4 Comments

After the very shaky start to our week at Camping Aquarius we now love the place – it’s fabulous. Just as well we didn’t pack up and leave after a couple of days. At the start we were convinced that a huge site full of families roaring around on bikes would drive us stir crazy. Our friendly neighbour ofRead more

Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah

October 15, 2016October 15, 2016 - Margaret 8 Comments

…. here we are in Camp Aquaria If you don’t know the song here it is. This was a our theme tune after sitting through three days of ferocious rain fall, howling gales and black skies. To be fair, it did look better briefly yesterday morning as we squelched off the camper van site we’dRead more

Good Pals and Doggy Bags

October 11, 2016October 11, 2016 - Margaret 13 Comments

We ended up staying three nights at LaBastide D’Armagnac, although to be honest the third night was more by accident than design. When we arrived on Friday we were greeted by two lovely British couples, Sally & Paul and Mo & Ken. They made us very welcome and we relaxed immediately, chatting and laughing asRead more

Meandering South to Pantygate

October 7, 2016 - Margaret 12 Comments

Our favourite Cave is Chateau Langlois, just outside Saumur. Two years ago we went there for a tour and it was fantastic – interesting, informative, friendly and humorous and the wine was excellent. We returned this time to buy some more bubbly – we have a couple of special occasions to celebrate when we get back toRead more

Bubbles and Squeaks

October 4, 2016October 4, 2016 - Margaret 5 Comments

Two years ago we cycled along the banks of the Loire in the Tours area and came across the town of Vouvray. We are big fans of the sparkling wine of the Loire and we’ve visited two caves in Saumur, one of them famous for their classic Vouvray wines – we had no idea thatRead more

From Burgundy to the Loire with a little Drama on the way

September 29, 2016September 29, 2016 - Margaret 7 Comments

We left Cormatin in Burgundy on Monday morning to set off across the centre of France towards the Loire. The Camper Contact app on the phone told us about a great Aire de Camping Car in the town of Moulins. Apparently it was once a municipal camping site and has since been made into aRead more

The little hill of Taizé

September 25, 2016January 28, 2017 - Margaret 4 Comments

We rolled gently down through Burgundy to Cormatin, a little village in the Saone et Loir region and just 3 miles from Taizé. There is a delightful wee campsite here, traditionally French and beautifully positioned right on the Voie Verte (cycle and walking path). We visit Taizé most years, sometimes for a week, sometimes justRead more

La Belle France

September 24, 2016September 24, 2016 - Margaret 9 Comments

  Orschwihr has a lot going for it. First of all there is free overnight parking for motorhomes that includes a small patch of hedged off grass and a picnic bench and very pleasant views over the vineyards. Water and waste services have to be paid for but we didn’t need these, so there wasRead more

Floating in a spa and goodbye to Germany

September 20, 2016September 20, 2016 - Margaret 4 Comments

The highlight of our couple of days in Baden Baden was a visit to the Caracelle Thermal Spa. Unfortunately cameras and smart phones are banned from the spa so we couldn’t take any pictures but I did find one online to give a little taster.. I read a lot of reviews about the place, mostlyRead more

From the bottom to the top

September 14, 2016September 14, 2016 - Margaret 12 Comments

Our two nights on the posh campsite has turned to four. A sleepy relaxation has come over us and we can’t be bothered to move, plus the town of Rüdesheim am Rhein has an awful lot to see and do. Looking at the weather forecast it seems that the unusually hot weather will be over byRead more
