We ran away from heavy rain near Brest and went to just below Quimper where the rain appeared equally wet. It did not deter a 30 km cycle round the coast (that's why we brought anoraks) and saw the trawlermen offloading and lovely old church with plenty of sea views. French surfing championships...
woke up to very grey skies so the wife got woken up before 10 so we could go 10 Kms down the road to another free stopover with free electricity. You just have to love the French ! This would be £40 plus in Cornwall. Cycled to Loctudy and paid 6 euros to cross the estuary with bikes. Not willing...
3 Beaux villages all within striking distance of each other for a walk round where we used our motorhome as a form of transport for the day.
There is a camping car park aire at Montclus which is the less picturesque of the 3 yet still very nice. The other 2 are very nice
I ll let the photos do...
Balcony roads, love them, on a motorbike.
We have taken the motorhome up some but that was when we were young and foolish and the motorhome was a bit older.
Motorbike or e bike are the way to go and youtube is your friend before doing them as well as google maps with street view and a tape...
Having done a recce on the motorbike and triple checked our height and width and suitably ignored our weight (we are registered over 3500 kgs but actually weighed under at the time) we moved up to the plateau of Vassieux en Vercors aire. A dusty stand alone aire with external dump and water but...
This road is extremely difficult to beat for scenery and giving passengers nightmares.
We took the motorbike up there from St Jean En Royans, however, according to the heights on the carved out tunnels you could take your motorhome.
However, 2 motorbikes can pass each other nearly everywhere, 2...
We had been meaning to go to the Vercors for several years. I just like the idea of the Resistance up there, that you are nigh on 1,000 m high permanently on a plateau, that there are only about 4 roads go through the area the size of Surrey, the scenery, to stunning roads and nobody really goes...
Lannion up in the north of Brittany above Guincamp has its own distillery for Armorik at the distillery warengham
It is the other side of town from the aire which is a bit basic but functional located right at the very end of my red arrow so on the southern side of the bridge, take the right at...
Little gem of a find in Brittany, South West of Quimper.
Independant distillery with a few whiskies of which we purchased a couple of bottles of EDDU silver at 44 euros a bottle and single malt.
You need to check opening times locally but there is an aire in the town (other side) which was full...
A limestone walk in the middle of nowhere with absolute peace and Quiet. Possible to get there in a motorhome but check your route in with regard to heights. These are back roads so motorbike or ebike better. Once there, unlikely anyone else will be apart from the odd climber. Possible for an...
When we first went over to France, clueless like most, I did an amount of research and ended up buying "Wild Swimming in France" book which was our bible and we used it at home to work out where we would go. This book has now been updated with the 2nd Edition so I would recommend that one.

We are 59 and nearing 58 and getting very close to early retirement which may come in the form of medical retirement as I have Cauda Equina and that causes back pain and prevents sitting upright or standing for about 10 minutes without immediate lieing down or walking or self physio.
