Ile de Re is fantastic...made for cycling. loads of good restaurants in the harbour area. Would suggest staying on a site as the island gets very busy !

I'll be on BSJ too, crossing on Saturday 8th but stopping by Paris and arriving Le Mans on Tuesday 11th.Which campsite are you on , we are booked into Beausejour going down Sunday before
6th June is 80th anniversary of D Day, just relax and do the D Day beaches and join in with the parties and musicWe have just booked our ferry to Calais for the 5th June. Have around 1 month to mooch about and think most of this time will probably be spent in France. But we have made zero plans. I quite like the idea of cruising down the west coast but that's about as final as things get.
What would be your one, must not miss, place? We'll be happy to use a mixture of Aires and campsites. We have ACSI and CCP set up. Cycling will be something we intend to do lots of. It's just me and the Wife. Mid 50's. No dog or sprog!

We are 65 and 73 yo and two days at Fou have been the highlight of our trip! Brilliant attraction ;-)Seriously? We're two mid-50's adults with no kids. Never really been into theme parks. What's so good about it?

Carcassonne in our view is the biggest tourist trap in France. We avoid it every time like the plague. We prefer Mirepoix.Carcassonne

Agree entirely!Carcassonne in our view is the biggest tourist trap in France. We avoid it every time like the plague. We prefer Mirepoix.
It has to be done once but once done we dont see the attraction of returning .... ever
Yes we been here great siteWe stayed on a lovely Acsi registered site in a lovely party of the Dordogne last year. It's just outside of the Bastide Village of Domme, the site was on the river bank too. Lovely pool bar and restaurant, very peaceful and easy to get to. The Medieval town of Sarlat is about 15 mins away and well worth a visit.It was called Camping Le Perpetuum.
The whole area is beautiful.

I always thought it's a horrible place to stay. In 2022 we drove straight through and stayed at a free one at Saint Riviere. If you have bikes, it's a short 2 mile ride back to town.Aire at Honfleur adjacent to the Harbour and 100mtres from many Restaurants need to arrive no later than 1400hrs to obtain a place
Go there around Christmas, very quiet and lovely when it gets dark, with the lights on the walls. I wouldn't go in the summer.Carcassonne in our view is the biggest tourist trap in France. We avoid it every time like the plague. We prefer Mirepoix.

The whole of France is overpriced, Honfleur might be expensive but if you have never been it is certainly worth a visit, very prettyHonfleur is an overpriced tourist trap

Thanks for this. The loose plan is to see how far south we get, and if we manage to get to the Spanish border then we may well head to San Sebastian or another northern town/city. Certainly I'd like to see Biarritz so we'll only be an hour or so from Spain at that point.Hi Birdy,
We are all differrent!
I am not you, but this is what I would do
Having one month I would spend my first week( or less) driving slowly south towards San sebastian in north eastern Spain .
Spend two weeks in this lovely part of Spain and my last week (or less) driving slowly through France to the ferry home.
Value for money is important to me and Spain is top notch for value! if you like to eat out often and visit a few bars!
Walk in to a bar/restaurant in Spain and the owners are delighted to see you!
Vist a bar/restaurant in France an they think they are doing you a favour
ps.those of you with French rose tinted specs , can get your short lengths of 4x2 ready to skelp me on the back of the head!
