Aix-en-Provence

Breakfast on the campsite followed by coffee in Uzes. Then on to Pont du Gard, which we expected to be really busy ( a bit like Mont St Michelle) but which actually wasn’t too bad.

Now at Camping Le Cezanne in Puyloubier, not far from Aix-en-Provence. Not a bad campsite but also not as good as we hoped. The views are lovely from above the campsite but somewhat hidden by trees on our pitch. Facilities also a bit basic. And it is Sunday so no bars open :-(.

On the way here there was a massive storm - thunder, lightning and torrential rain. We pulled off the road at one point because it didn’t feel safe to drive, there was so much surface water. When we restarted, we immediately hit a flooded road and had to turn round! Quite exciting but not really what we were expecting of the south of France.

On towards Italy tomorrow, we think, though we may stop somewhere near Nice.Read more
