    Watten

    8–9 mai 2024, France ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    We decided to head inland for our first stop over in the town Aire at Watten. It's a free Aire provided by the town right on the Canal which runs through the town. There are service's for emptying, but you have to pay for fresh water and electric which we didn't need. The town has a nice high street with a few restaurants and bars, we walked up above it, to a windmill with a great viewpoint of the surrounding area, sun only came out a couple of times, but it was warm enough.En savoir plus

    We checked into a campsite for a overnight stop which will give us the opportunity to charge everything up and have a good shower. It's called Le Bloemstraete camping and its a small and friendly site, the owner is one of the nicest frenchman we've ever had the pleasure of meeting. The Village has a walking route to follow, we also walked a circular route that took in another village, on the way we had about 20 Porsche racing past us on the country roads which was fun to watch, weather today has been greatEn savoir plus

    We moved on to the city of Auxerre to do a bit of sightseeing for a few ours, there is plenty to do as it's one of the biggest cities in the region, we parked up by the river and walked into the centre. After lunch we moved onto Touche which is a pretty town, with a large church above the centre. They have a good market on a Saturday. After a walk around we moved on to the most amazing village called Druyes-les-Belles-Fontaines. Its the prettiest village I can ever remember visiting. We are in a small free Aire overlooking the valley just at the top of the village outside the castle walls. I will upload the photos of Druyes-les-Belles-Fontaines in next postEn savoir plus

    Champeix

    22–23 mai 2024, France ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    After an enjoyable drive over the mountains and nearly getting stuck in a tiny village we ended up in an Aire in Champeix. The Aire is right next to some great trails so the next day we went on a lovely hike to a mountain village with a old chateau overlooking the valley . By chance as we were following a circular trail when we came upon what looked like some kind of abandoned Hobbit village. Its made up of 140 caves that were probably used for wine storage but now most are abandoned but some are used to store the local cheese made in the village of saint-jullienEn savoir plus
