    Exploring Calais Tuesday 23rd May

    23 Mei 2023, Perancis ⋅ 🌬 13 °C

    Lovely day exploring. The town hall was magnificent. Opposite was a park with a massive WWll bunker. Loved the statues of the 6 burghers. Citadel, where the English laid seige to the French in 1346. Edward lll said if 6 people come out wearing a noose and with the keys to the town, he would let the rest live. He was so impressed with their bravery, and his wife Phillipa asked for mercy as she was pregnant, that he spared everyone.
    Fortifications from the 2nd World War on Churchill Avenue. Magnificent Church of Notra Dame and the Tudor gardens. The roses scented the air. Beautiful 😍.
    Found a wonderful spot by the harbour to rest up. So nice we stayed the night. Picnic tea was magnificent 👌 as we ate everything in the fridge!    Baca selengkapnya

    Lille Wednesday 24th May

    24 Mei 2023, Perancis ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    After a quick walk into Calais we set off to Lille. Long drive on the back roads. Parked in the center and walked into the old town. Just beautiful. Little Street cafés everywhere. Went into Eglise St Maurice de Lille church. Stunning architecture and stained glass windows. Lots of confessionals! They must be bad in Lille! Built in the middle ages. Expanded 1868!Baca selengkapnya

    Troyes on Sunday 28th May

    28 Mei 2023, Perancis ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    We went on the hunt for the Knight templars. A huge forest but no buildings left standing.
    Troyes did not disappoint 👏. Amazing Tudor buildings with a cafe culture.
    Wonderful Cathedral of Saint Pierre and Saint Paul de Troyes with magnificent pillars and stained glass windows built in 1208.
    The medieval old town features narrow, cobbled streets lined with colorful, half-timbered houses, mostly dating from the 16th century.    Baca selengkapnya

    Strasbourg Monday 29th May

    29 Mei 2023, Perancis ⋅ 🌬 26 °C

    Strasbourg means 'city of streets'. We parked a 10 min walk from the centre. What at 1st seemed like any other large city turned into a city of amazing beauty and culture. From the Cathedral de Notre Dame and mansion houses, to cosy squares and tiny houses.
    Strasbourg became part of Germany in 1870. The occupation lasted until 1918 when, after Germany's defeat in the First World War, the region was ceded to France under the Treaty of Versailles.    Baca selengkapnya

    Altkirch Wednesday 31st May

    31 Mei 2023, Perancis ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    After a refreshing sleep by a graveyard! (not) we have decided to stay in France another night. The campsites in Switzerland are expensive. So, a good shower n stock up with power and water on the French side of the border.
    Lazy, sunbathing day at a campsite that is a work in progress! Friendly owner came out with treats for the dogs.
    Steak and strawberries for tea! Afterwards we sat out with some rose wine and watched the moon rise. 🌙    Baca selengkapnya

    In Switzerland 🇨🇭 Thursday 1st June

    1 Juni 2023, Swiss ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Set off this morning heading for Switzerland 🇨🇭. Crossed the border without stopping. The scenery became spectacular very quickly with steep winding roads. Had a couple of nice little breaks by the lakes and drove on to Interlaken. No wild camping allowed in Switzerland, so we found a great campsite near town and decided to stay 2 nights. Home cooked meal, delicious 😋.Baca selengkapnya

    Annecy Sunday 4th June

    4 Juni 2023, Perancis ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    After driving for 10 days, we needed to recharge our batteries, and now we have set off back to France 🇫🇷. Using a toll road for the first time, we drove through some very long tunnels. The town of Annecy looks beautiful on the lakeside. Our campsite is a way up the lake and is very well set up with an indoor and an outdoor pool, bar, restaurant and sun terrace. Clean, modern facilities will make this a pleasurable stay for a weeks holiday.Baca selengkapnya

    Annecy Monday 5th June

    It was great to have a long shower and clean all the bedding, etc . Afterwards, we walked to the beach at Doussard on the north end of Lake Annecy. Had a lovely swim and tried to get the dogs to join me. Later we enquired about a boat trip to the old town. All booked for Wednesday. A leisurely stroll back and then tea alfresco.Baca selengkapnya

    Paragliding in Annecy Thursday 8th June

    8 Juni 2023, Perancis ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    What an amazing day. Paragliding was Awesome! We met our pilots at the landing area and then drove to the takeoff sight. Up a very steep road with hairpin bends. At last, we were harnessed up and ready to run! As the wind caught the parachute, we were lifted into the air. The mountain fell away, and the vista of the turquoise lake below! Stunning! After touching eachothers canopies, we had a very smooth landing. Another wonderful experience!Baca selengkapnya

    Puy Saint Martin Friday 9th June

    9 Juni 2023, Perancis ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    We left Annecy this morning and drove for 6 hours. The weather has turned a little grey and rainy. Heading towards Avignon, we passed over 30 miles of walnut plantations. Some lavendar farms and beautiful golden corn fields.
    As it was getting late, we looked for a suitable stop over and spotted a quaint French village. Puy Saint Martin is so peaceful. The ramparts from the ancient castle still exist. The village was first on the map in 1049. It was originally a Roman outpost, and a statue of Mercury was found at the summit of the hill. A perfect spot for the night.    Baca selengkapnya

    Chatteau de Grignan

    10 Juni 2023, Perancis ⋅ 🌙 25 °C

    We spotted the chatteau from the road and decided to call in. This ancient village was charming. With points of interest round every corner, we waited for the chatteau to open. We were surprised to find that it had been rebuilt around 1911. Restored to its former glory, we thoroughly enjoyed looking around the apartments and grand terraces.Baca selengkapnya

    Avignon Saturday 10th June

    10 Juni 2023, Perancis ⋅ 🌙 25 °C

    The drive to Avignon took us through extensive vineyards and lavender fields. Enjoying the magnificent countryside as we went.
    We arrived in Avignon late afternoon and explored the magnificent city inside the walls. Massive cafe culture with almost every pavement and square packed with tables. Beautiful architecture all around, and the Pope's Palace was spectacular! After a quick drink, we headed back to the van and decided to move out of the town for a quieter night.Baca selengkapnya
