A first, and a last

Our very first eurocamp experience, and our last of 8 stopovers over the Channel.

We were unsure what to expect and after chatting with some seasoned eurocampers we were told that this site, Domaine les Ormes is a good one in terms of activities, spaciousness and cleanliness. It didn't disappoint.
After a three hour drive and stops at the chateau in Nantes and the detour to Ancenis it was 7pm as we turned off the road and into the site. I was tired and just ready to relax.
Between me and a glass of red stood the check in though and I was expecting something lengthy, rules, regulations, etc
I approached the reception desk ready with my 8th practiced intro 'bon soir' 'parle la francaise en petit peu' on the tip of my tongue. But, before I could speak.
'Mrs Shurmer? Where've you travelled from love? I bet yer ready to chill out'. The lovely Diane hailed from Chorley and knew our village, our street even, really well. Scenes aren't always the way we set them in our minds are they?
So a lovely few days were had and we managed a little ride out to the nearest market town, Dol de Bretagne. Very pretty with lots of timber framed houses and quite a history.
We also managed to get Kev in the water in the dome, the indoor pool facility at the site. Only a few cuts and bruises were sustained and now I have my very own Tarzan!Read more
