Hi all we have been away in France for a month and really enjoyed it - pottered around Normandy, Britany and down to the Vendee before heading back to Cherbourg in mid August.
a couple of things........
I started a thread awhile ago about backup meals and one of the main meals that people had stored was Cassoulet. I had a super cassoulet in Carcassonne a couple of years ago so we bought a tin this time from a supermarket (superu, geant, eleclerc, intermarchie - not sure which but many others are available!!) and I have to say we were not impressed. Heavy, stodgy with basic bland port sausages and other bits of "pork".Therefore can I suggest that you check your backup tins !!!! They may not be quite what you are expecting !!
really noticed the difference in costs this year - quick example - I wanted to buy a brush to attach to a hose for cleaning the van - E54.00 - about £45.00 for a £15 brush. Went into Decathalon and saw a basic polo shirt E99.99 ..... eyewatering.
finally nearly got ourselves killed - watch the video.
