After returning from our 15 day 2000 mile ( + a few hundred on the motorbike) french trip, I have had a tot up of expenses as, like most of you I suspect , we are always on a tight budget.
This year we took just about all our food, including part baked bread, only buying salad, a few treats and gallons of wine:thumb: at the shops.
I was pleasantly supprised the total was around £700.00 including ferry, diesel , campsites (6 nights....others in aires) and around 30 bottles of wine to bring home.
We had a great time in the Tarn, Camargue and Dordogne areas, did just about everything we wanted to do including a couple of meals out!
I hope this post is not viewed as gloating or I can do it cheaper than others but as an illustration that france does not have to cost a fortune.
