A town built around a rock face with Roman Catholic significance in that it is on some form of pilgrims path, but you may have gathered I dont know much about that, but really like this place with its narrow streets.
It is steep, very steep and this needs consideration before going though there...
Gravelines aire is the choice of many for first/last stop in France between Dunkirk and Calais and far enough away to not worry about illegals too much.
However the town is somewhat more than that with ramparts and cobbled streets and very nice atmosphere
AIre is marked up on the map and is...
NB this is a France Passion site. You need to be a member however the joining fee is worth paying jsut to stay at this place.
It is a gated truffle orchard that you park under the trees in loads of space

Its about a mile downhill (and it is steep) to...
French village that is infamous for not having anything done to it and left as it was after the Nazis killed nearly everyone in the village in a heinous manner.
Eerie walking around it, people have said better to do it on the way home rather than on the way to your holiday.
You will be moved...
I have marked up where I firmly believe you can park for the day. We parked on the road but we saw motorhomes parked here and saw ones parked overnight as well. If that isnt right when you get there please dont blame me. Otherwise its extortionate euros for a campsite.
You dont need to pay if...
I have put the marker at the place we stay at. It is supposed to be a France Passion but he isnt bothered. There is electric there but not sure if he charges, I dont think he does but we dont use it. 30+ wine shops to wonder around, Storks a plenty on the roofs and it has its own stork...
Cycle or motorbike, if cycling it will be hilly, motorhomes have height restrictions along here.
Lovely ride up the gorge and wild boar come out and eat out of your hand, great scenery. We used the free aire at Sault for this one. Bit of a dusty car park job but nice still.
I ve put the mark...
3,000 foot drop with hardly anything to stop you going over on windy roads which busses go up. It travels n the North and South side however the best part is the "Route des Cretes" NB the one way system, its quite doable in a motorhome.
The pin point of the map is for where you start the Route...
Stay overnight in the aire in order to go in first thing and then you may have a chance, under normal circumstances, of missing the very annoying tourists with their cameras which gives you chance to get some decent photos of a lovely garden.
Payable so look to see how much. As a much vaunted...
Off the tourist hotspots, this 3 sided valley has numerous waterfalls of 500 foot plus coming out of the side of mountains and is a stunning walk, something we dont do enough of.
Best described as something out of Game of Thrones.
You have to pay to park but even a FLT like me didnt begrudge...
This is the best place we have been to in France to watch a sunset. The mountain is much higher than all those around it and was on my bucket list for quite some time before the conditions were right. If there is a light breeze at Bedoin dont go up there overnight. It needs to be still, it is...
No chance of getting here in a motorhome, Its pretty difficult in a car, just dont. motorbike is the form of transport or ebikes but it is out of the way.
Possible to scramble down to the river but its a walk, a worthy reward of peace and Q at the end of it. The road is best described as a...
Another warm water river cascade known as a clue, that you are able to walk up in clothes and then dip in the water, in the middle of absolutely nowhere getting there in a van is possible but roads are narrow and plan your way in and out or take bikes/motorbike. Nobody else will be there and you...
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...
Series of 11 waterfalls of varying heights over about 3-4km walk on rough narrow path at times so no high heels as have been witnessed. Cheaper to start at top and possible to overnight wilding at several car parks around top lake. paying if starting at bottom (south)
