My son informs me that they're staying in the Aquitain area of France, that's about all he knows. I understand this is quite a large area in the South West. I will have to ask his gf exactly where the villa is :que


Not really
map of Aquitaine we got just North of there as Montendre is Pitou Charente we are a little South of Jonzac it shows on the map above too

Bet they are somewhere near Arcachon ;)

Hi Mad caravanner,
They are staying at a place called Caubon-Saint-Sauveur. Do you know it? They arrived late afternoon after travelling down overnight on Friday. He sent a text to say he'd phone me today to tell me more about the place :)

Not really we are usually 60 miles North as the crow flies

Which in France is another country sometimes I think they are near to someone I do know who has a campsite near there but for our route she's off the track by a LONG way so we don't usually get down there

It will certainly be interesting, Tarry

I've driven my dad's motor to Brittany before, but this journey is a bit of an epic. 3 locations, and just under 2800 miles!!!!

I'm in Gard (30) and I am visiting Uzès, a beautiful little town with a castle, "le Duché d'Uzès".

I recommend this trip to every Provence lover. :)

Bye !

We are counting down the days to June when we will be motorhoming down through France and across Northern Italy to Croatia. First two night stop will be Annecy, our favourite place. We have been told Croatia is as beautiful as France, anybody been?

We have no definite plans as yet but I favour a gentle meander round France with a fw 2 or 3 day stops in various places plus calling in on a few friends here and there. At some point the in laws may fly out and we can all spend some time together. Not decided yet.
