We were up and about early ready to make our move from Méze. We realised whilst we were watching the rugby the afternoon before 5 UK vans had come into the Aire. We have literally only seen one on our trip so far and then suddenly 5 arrive together, not sure if they were travellingContinue reading “French Fortifications – Carcassonne, France”

After some lovely seafood the day before, we decided to head further along the coast to where the Oysters are produced. Bouzigues is a small and pretty village on the shore of the Étang de Thau inland sea. There is a direct cycle path, off road and through vineyards straight there. So we packed LolaContinue reading “Cycle trip to Bouzigues – Méze, France”

We moved on from Palavas-les-Flot this morning, without disappointment though with a certain amount of manoeuvring, to get out around the other crammed in motorhomes. Only a short trip down the road this morning, to give the South of France coast line another shot. We had read about the Oyster beds in the Étang deContinue reading “Seafood Delight – Meze, France”

Today we started with a quick trip by bike to the supermarket having an unsuccessful trip yesterday. It was a small Carrefour Market, which did not have everything we needed, but a decent haul was distributed between panniers and rucksacks for the quick 5 min trip back. We also worked out the Montpellier cycle routeContinue reading “Montpellier Cycle Tour – Palavas-les-Flots”

We headed out of Remoulin under grey skies, but hopeful of a change in the weather later in the day and headed to the coast. Neither of us had visited the French Mediterranean coast before and thought we ought to try. Therefore we picked a small resort town south of Montpellier, with an Aire atContinue reading “At the Mediterranean – Palavas-les-Flots”

We finally woke to clearer skies after another night of torrential rain. Including a 2am wake up call when the girls helpfully barked to tell us about the thunder, it’s a bit more dramatic here than they are used to in the UK. Therefore, finally time to see the Pont du Gard, an ancient firstContinue reading “Pont du Gard – Remoulin, France”

Another 571km south yesterday, already when we stopped at a motorway Aire it was 20 degrees and we were reaching Warmer weather. We went past Lyon in Friday afternoon traffic, the whole journey taking a bit longer than planned. We crossed the Rhône four times on the journey, which did not seem the most expedientContinue reading “Due South – Remoulin, France”

We took a walk as soon as daylight came, which due to daylight saving was 7.30am. Our motorhome Aire is on the road up to La Miotte fortress, part of the original walled fortifications of Belfort, another Vauban fortification (as per the citadel we saw in Arras). The citadel in the centre of town isContinue reading “Bonne journée – Belfort, France”
