Hello all,
Well I know it's greedy, but having spent a wonderful two weeks on the Ile de Re with the @Mousy s, and then a Brillo week at Twin Lakes with Funster Friends, we are spending 9 days on our own before the tunnel crossing on the 28th.
Yesterday was spent in Blaye on an aire just outside the citadelle wall next to the harbour and town....
There is an aire inside the citadelle but the entrance isn't for the fat (van) or the faint hearted!
However if you do chance your arm through the narrow bits and over a rickety oak slatted bridge it's free for 48 hours with lekkie included!
We moved on this morning and hoped to stay in Arcachon. We found the aire which is on the side of a busy road and not very nice at all, so we drove into the town but couldn't find anywhere to park - so finding the roads getting narrower we left and made our way to Sanguinet Lake where we are on a free aire right next to a campsite - we are the only Brits on the aire - they are all on the campsite paying €17 per night! We all have the same view and we spent all afternoon sunbathing - didn't expect to be doing that any more this holiday!
That was someone else's sand art work - not mine!
If anyone says Arcachon is worth visiting we will give it another go on the way back up otherwise Royan or Mortagne sur Gironde will be our next stop. I await your advice.......
