    We are at Camping Isle Verte on the Loire in Montsoreau, just up river from Saumur. We came camping near here with the kids a long time ago but can’t remember exactly where.

    This campsite and the last one have both been full of Brits. Don’t want to be too snobbish about it, but we prefer our campsites to be mainly Dutch and German! We have seen very few British people on the rest of the trip.

    Another longish drive to get here, mainly on toll roads. Lunch was at a rather delightful aire next to the gare de peage.

    Hottest day of the trip so far we think - certainly feels like it. Luckily, the campsite has a very nice pool.

    We walked to the nearest bar this evening and Sara sat in front of the biggest dog we have ever seen (an Irish Wolfhound apparently).
