Twin Lakes isn't far from us, must get there some time. We are going to Blaye this weekend coming, about half hour further on. They have a fantastic wine festival on in the old citadel. Might be my 2017 Champagne moment... LOL

We have quite a few friends that live around there, and always end up in montendre and blaye, but this was our first meet and the first time we had met any funsters in five years. By the way has the paying system started in blaye yet , the last couple of times we were there ,the machine had been installed but not working.Twin Lakes isn't far from us, must get there some time.

Municipal campsite at Blaye isn't open yet unfortunately and the area is used for the wine festival, including the toilet block (as you say old but clean) - but wonderful location, will definitely stay there one day.
The festival is amazing: for an 8€ pass (6€ if you buy online beforehand) you get a free glass - of course - and entry to the festival and loads of activities, ALL FREE. They include wine blending session which you leave with a personalised bottle of your own blend of wine (!), cookery demos, guided tour of the citadel, boat ride up the estuary and more. Amazing. And some good wines as well
Here's a link - it is an amazing weekend Broken Link Removed
