Vannes
Jul 18–19, 2024 in France ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
I was recommended Vannes by my good friend Rob who knows the area well, we stopped at another CCP aire which is in a great location next to a few beaches and within walking distance of the vibrant town of Vannes. We walked in after lunch and spent a nice afternoon exploring the harbour and medieval city, in the evening we walked around the small peninsula close to our Aire with all the locals out enjoying the late sunRead more

Gavres
Jul 19–20, 2024 in France ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
We moved further along the coast into Brittany, onto the peninsula of Gavres. The CCP Aire is huge so we had plenty of space to sit outside. We went for a lovely walk around the coastal path all the way around the peninsula, the weather was perfect and the Brittany coast has never looked better, reminds us of the Roseland peninsula in Cornwall.Read more

Pont Aven
Jul 20–21, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
We travelled further into Brittany to the CCP Aire at Pont Aven. It's a very popular honey pot of a town that reminds me of some of the peak district towns we have in the UK. Unfortunately we didn't get to explore much on the first day as we had quite a few showers but made up for it the next day. The town itself is stunning with lots of pretty buildings. There seems to be a lot of Art Galleries. There is a river that snakes thru the town where there are many boats moored up.Read more

TravelerPerros Guirec on the north coast is beautiful. It’s known as the Pink Granite Coast if you’re heading up that way? We’ve been about three times x

Saint Goazec
Jul 21–22, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
Traveling inland we decided to stop at the CCP Aire on the edge of the village of Saint Goazec. There isn't much in the village itself but it is on the Brest-Nantes canal, which has a brilliant towpath on which you can hike or ride for miles in either direction. The Aire has good facilities as it used to be a campsite so it was a good stop for one night.Read more

Rostrenen
Jul 22–23, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
We have been looking forward to visiting our friends Robert and Emma who run a successful b&b on the Brest -Nantes canal, in a beautiful setting not far from the small town of Rostrenen. It was great to catch up with them and we can't thank them enough for making our stay with them perfect from start to finish.Read more

Dinan

We are moving towards Calais now for our journey home, but we found a great free Aire within walking distance of the stunning town of Dinan. Its a medieval town with a Castle watching over the Citi. The town itself has lots of intresting architecture and is a busy place for tourists this time of year. We paid to visit the Castle which gave us great views over the town and was a great way to spend a couple of hours. In the evening we walked to the beautiful village of Taden which wouldn't be out of place in the Cotswold's, it has a picturesque marina with the huge river running all the way past Dinan.Read more

Le Mele sur sarthe
Jul 24–25, 2024 in France ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Longer drive today as we head towards Calais, we stopped at a great CCP Aire which used to be a campsite and still has all the facilities including a small shop, never seen that before at a ccp aire. Its located next to a lake with a beach and a nice village with some shops and bars. We went for a hike on the old railway line which goes on for miles.Read more

Ailly Sur Noye
Jul 25–26, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
This is our last stopover until we get to Calais on Friday for an early Saturday ferry. We stayed at the smallest CCP Aire so far, it only has 6 places. The town of Ailly Sur Noye is not really a tourist town but there is a nice park close to the Aire to walk around.Read more
TravelerThere might not be many tourists, but there are more people in that photo than there has been in all your photos put together (cyclists) 🤣 x

TravelerYes, those kids learning to ride put a smile on our face, we had to wait for them to pass us by before we could cross the path, then they stopped and we walked past them again 😆

Calais
Jul 26–27, 2024 in France ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
We finally arrived at our last destination in France, and decided to risk staying in Calais for the night. Luckily CCP have taken over an Aire near the promenade. It's a large site with enough space for a hundred motorhomes. Calais is a place we have only ever travelled through on the way into or out of France. The sea front has had a revamp and is a pleasant place to spend the day. We had a walk around the town centre but found it quite tatty, still it's a good stopover for the ferry terminal as we had an early sailing.Read more
TravelerAre you both back home safely, Karl? What an amazing trip you’ve been on. I shall miss your almost daily updates/ posts, as I’m sure you will miss posting them! X
