A Visit to the Graveyard
6 października 2024, Francja ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
While there was a break in the rain we headed out to photograph the town with my proper camera. Then we took a visit to the graveyard and the oldest grave we found was from the late 1700’s.

While the rain held off we decided to take a walk along the edge of the river. We covered 5km in total and it was a beautiful walk. Then it was back to Wanda to make dinner and settle in for the night. More rain is expected later😢😢 Czytaj więcej

Trying to dodge the rain.
7 października 2024, Francja ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
Our plans changed this morning when we awoke to heavy rain. Our itinerary was to take us to street art city and a little aire close by but street art city now costs £16:50 each to get in and we wouldn’t be able to get any photos so we scrapped that idea and decided to continue straight down.
Our next stop on the list is the castle of Val but that drive would have taken all day so we’ve decided to break the day in two and after stocking up on supplies on the edge of town we decided to stop at a town called Felletin.
Our supply run was mainly for snacks and junk food although we did get fresh bread and I managed to find horse chestnut jam which is unbelievably tasty especially in the pan au chocolate.
Felletin has a huge free Motorhome area with free water, toilets, and a grey and black dump station. Later we’ll take a walk into town. Czytaj więcej

Exploring Felletin
7 października 2024, Francja ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
After lunch we headed out to explore Felletin, as per usual we arrived to explore when all the shops are shut.
This is a really quirky little town with newly cobbled streets and for some reason the local crochet club seems to want to cover everything in wool. Every single bollard in the high street was covered aswell as all the benches. When we went in the park we found them covering a bench with a patchwork crochet blanket.
Of course we looked in the church and down either side it was lined with local saints but as someone was sitting in there contemplating whether there really is a god we didn’t venture to far in.
At the far end of the town was what looked like another church but on entering it was actually a garden. It was an amazing place and by the looks of the lights in the floor it’s lit up at night.
By 5pm it was raining again. We’ve never had such bad weather when we’ve first arrived in France ever. Autumn seems to have come early this year. Czytaj więcej

We left our overnight spot just after 9am.
It would be an hours drive to our first location but en route we stopped for Diesel. Our first LPG fill up because we left home with only 1 full bottle and some fresh food. Czytaj więcej

Second stop of the day was our first castle. The castle of val, It is currently closed on week days because we’re just out of season but really I was only here for outside photographs.
Luckily the weather held up and we had blue skies and no people for plenty of Drone shots. Czytaj więcej

Medieval Salers
8 października 2024, Francja ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
Our 3rd stop of the day was the Medieval Village of Salers. This town dates back to the 11th century and unless you have a house or shop in town there is absolutely no driving and there are car parks for cars, coaches and motorhomes just outside the town but it does cost £4 per day even though we can’t spend the night here.
It is a beautiful cobbled town with lots of ancient buildings and passageways and we’re glad we stopped to visit.
Then it was time to push on to find somewhere to sleep or as we like to call it put operation tortoise into effect. Czytaj więcej

Operation Tortoise
8 października 2024, Francja ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
We’ve had quite the journey getting here today. We’ve seen hundreds of Buzzards and deer on route and we also saw a huge snake crossing the road that I managed to avoid. We saw a cow giving birth in a field at the side of the road and then just before we found our parking spot for the night we had 2 wild boar cross the road right in front of us.
We have a beautiful free park up for the night in the grounds of the Chateau de Montal. We’ve been and explored the grounds and we have the whole place to ourselves except for a dog walker. It should be super quiet tonight. Czytaj więcej

Autoire
9 października 2024, Francja ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
We had a lovely nights sleep at our parking spot by the chateau and we left at 9am and once again it was raining. Our original plan for the day was to visit the caves of Presque but they are privately owned and currently only open on Sunday so we skipped that and head to our next destination.
Autoire is one of, if not the most beautiful village we have visited. It really looks like the village from disneys beauty and the beast and you half expect Belle to open a chateau window and start singing. It’s an unbelievable place to walk around. Czytaj więcej

From the village we headed down a narrow single track path and into the woods follow the course of the river.
After a 30 minute hike we were at the waterfalls. This was the next stop for us and the falls were huge.
After the falls we carried on hiking all the way up the side of the falls and back onto the main road. This was the route of the 2024 Tour de France and the riders names were still sprayed on the road.
Then we turned right and continued climbing until we could climb no more. We were at the top and we could see for miles in every direction and luckily the rain had stopped and the sun came out.
We continued hiking it had now been 90 minutes and the path narrowed as we passed the danger signs and continued.
Another 30 minutes later we came to an abandoned chateau hanging on the side of the cliff.
After a quick explore we started making our way back down the side of the mountain.
2 1/2 hours and 7.5kms of hiking later we were back at Wanda. We had climbed 313 meters and it really felt like it.
It was now 1:30pm and we had planned on spending the night at Autoire but we were in abit of a bowl and the internet signal was really weak and we need wifi to make a booking for tomorrows trip so we moved into the village of Padriac to another free aire. And it’s raining again. Czytaj więcej
