    Apremont sur Allier, Cher

    May 28–29, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    We are staying in an amazing Beau Village today at Apremont sur Allier, one of the most beautiful places we have visited. Its quite tiny but every property, garden and public space is so immaculately kept and the heady scent of flowers is everywhere. It's understandably a popular tourist destination but when we ventured out again in the evening we were the only ones around, it's quite a magical place. It's just us staying in the motorhome spot, it's very peaceful!Read more
