St Tropez to Paris


Day 18 Camping Prairies de la mer to Avignon
We left the campsite early and headed north to an Aire at Avignon, We didn’t stop all the way as it was bucketing down. The countryside was very scenic little country lanes all the way and miles of vineyards.
 

 
 
 

Day 19 Avignon to Beausemblant
Left Avignon early and stopped at the supermarket to stock up, when we arrived at the Aire at Beausemblant we had some lunch then went for a walk into the village we stopped at a restaurant for a glass of vin rouge when we went to pay they said they were on the house. Went back to the van for a nap then sat outside in the sun and watched 2 small planes loop the loop.
 
 
 
 

Day 20 Beausemblant to St  Pourcain sur Sioule  (Our Wedding Anniversary)
Again left the Aire early for a 3 hour drive north to Aire St Pourcain sur sioule, this Aire was right alongside the river Sioule lovely location and the sun was shining so we got our chairs out and sat by the river. Went for a walk into town and booked a  table at little bistro for our Anniversary meal. Had plat du jour and met three Australian people who had been touring Europe.


 

Day 21 St Pourcain sur Sioule to Aire Briare 2
Set off early as we had been experiencing some of the Aires being full . We arrived at the Aire at 12.30 to find it was full so we headed for the next one which was only 2 minutes away. This Aire was Briare 3. Had a walk into the town stopped for coffee, this town was by a canal so there were lots of house boats. When we got back to the Aire it was full so a good job we got there early.


 
 
 

Day 22 Aire Briare 3 to camping International Paris.
We had a bit of a lie in this morning, then a slow drive to the campsite at Paris. When we arrived the heavens opened. Our Pitch was right by the River Seine.
