After almost three weeks at Bourg-Saint-Maurice, our longest ever stop, we finally moved on this morning. It was beginning to feel like home at Camping Huttopia, there are certainly quite a few Brits who spend the whole season there. However, we decided to get some more skiing in now Kev’s leg is a little betterContinue reading “On the move – La Plagne, Savoie, France”

Just as Alex and Sean left us, we had a little rain. Alex felt this was to acclimatise them to returning to the North West UK. In Bourg-Saint-Maurice meanwhile, it meant that what remained of the low lying snow, which has not been melted by 22 degrees C sunshine, was finally defeated. Apart from aContinue reading “Wrapping up – Bourg-Saint-Maurice, Savoie, France”

Wow, what a week we have had 😍 It has been a fabulous combination of great fun, physical activity, a learning challenge, spectacular scenery, fresh air, delicious food, Aprés-ski drinks, perfect weather and above all, the best company. We are so lucky to have been able to spend such precious time and made such lastingContinue reading “Fantastic Week – Bourg-Saint-Maurice, Savoie, France”

We have settled into a lovely routine in Les Arcs skiing by day interspersed with lovely food and drinks.

It has been super busy in Les Arcs for theContinue reading “Taken root – Bourg-Saint-Maurice, Savoie, France”

We start our skiing the day before on our wedding anniversary. We might have started before but a cut on Kev’s leg (just on the ski boot line!) which became infected has insteadContinue reading “Settled in – Bourg-Saint-Maurice, Savoie, France”

We had a bit of an interrupted night’s sleep with people coming and going around us and music playing. First time we have had issues with music playing locals in park ups, though it seems to be a common problem. They were not too loud and I suppose they have as much right to doContinue reading “Camped out – Bourg-Saint-Maurice, Savoie, France”

Today’s plan was to head into Annecy to get a French SIM card from the Free shop (French mobile brand rather than without cost), then head towards Bourg-Sainte-Maurice for LPG and set up camp. However, as we walked through Annecy, which is so picturesque, we immediately said to ourselves we would stay another night. SinceContinue reading “Annecy magnet – Annecy, Haut-Savoie, France”

We were on the road at 07:30 this morning all van servicing done, ready for our next adventures in France. We have had a fabulous time in Italy, although we are leaving behind lots to come back and see at another time, especially in mainland Italy. We did a pretty thorough tour of Sardinia, whenContinue reading “Arrivederci Italia, Bonjour La France – Annecy, Haut-Savoie, France”
