Stopping for Essentials

We left Rocamadour at 9am for a very murky drive through thick fog. We could barely see the town as we passed by and I kept the speed to a minimum as these French drivers do love to cut the corners and drive with no lights on even when they can’t see.
Our original plan for today was to stop
at another medieval town but the closest parking for motorhomes was going to cost us 12 euro for parking and extra if we wanted water and as we had just paid more than enough tourist tax in this area we decided to skip that and head straight down towards Toulouse and do a laundry and food shop.
Half way down in Montauban we found a huge E’Le Clerc shopping centre that had a huge selection of shops. This was like lakeside and blue water combined and getting in and out of the car park for the laundry was a nightmare.
The laundry took 30 mins for the 9kg washing machine and then 45 mins to dry and it was 5 euros for the wash and 3 euro for the dryer.
Our next stop was Lidl a few miles down the road to get fresh food for the next 2 days and to stock up on milk and fresh water.Read more
