April 26, 2018 in France ⋅ ⛅ 16 °CThe morning was taken up with driving on a mixture of country roads and motorways. Thankfully there were a lot fewer roundabouts than yesterday! We stopped in a town centre car park with van services but were disappointed to find that none of the bays was big enough for us to park in. We didn't feelRead more

So many places in France have these facilities & often quite pleasant too, as you have found :) French municipal camp sites are also usually good, inexpensive and with more facilities. We have a favourite at Courville-sur-Eure, near Chartres. The campsite has good basic facilities and next to it is an aire de campingcar - very useful when campsite is closed (it has quite a short season from April to Sept) and if you stay on the aires in season you can pay a nominal fee for the campsite facilities so handy for showers and it has a washing machine. The small town is great. 3 boulangeries, 3 boucheries, a dedicated charcuterie, an excellent fromagerie and 2 very good places for meals. We prefer La Commerce as a 'proper' French locals eaterie but the Italian across the road is also good. A good SuperU too and the railway is a direct line to Chartres and Paris (about 1hr 15min to Paris, although we haven't done that yet we did go into Chartres by train. Great experience, double-decker train :) Enjoy your flit through France. We're going to be there in a few weeks. We've booked the shuttle - going on 23rd May and returning on 15th June (2 days before John's 85th birthday) :)
