Weather: rain so heavy
it washed away roofs.
Plaisance
Heading off to the
east of France and the Doubs country we spotted a lovely sounding campsite in
the Tarn valley in our books.
Trouble is we didn’t take much notice of the “adv bkg ess” advice and
when we got there after a very twisty, tiny route it was full! On our way down to the main road I saw
a little sign that said “Camping”.
We turned in and it was good.
1.
Only 20
places. Lashings of hot water and
enough amps to run my hair dryer.
2.
Next to tiny
local open air pool but it shut at 7.
3.
Bistro/bar
in village that was also shop selling wonderful fresh bread and fruit and
veg. It also sold chicken and
chips to take away at weekends.
4.
River
rance running along one boundary of campsite. Mainly shallow but places to swim in it too.

| Had lunch today just below rock where kids jumped into the river |

| But it was a tricky trip to get there |

12th
century church up above village.
Floodlit at night and we could see it through our rooflight.
1.
Extremely
beautiful 14th century hotel just taken over by new owners keen to
please. We had fabulous meal there
out in the courtyard but undercover.
There was an enormous storm that took out the power and flooded the
kitchen just as the chef finished up for the night. Luckily our kind Dutch neighbours shut our windows so our
beds weren’t soaking when we got back to the van

| Took a photo of menu beforehand so we could trnslate it! |
1.
Couple of
good walks to do round local villages.
2.
Only
€11.80 a night!!!!!!
So why only stay 3
nights? FLIES loads of them on
first day but finally word got round that David was an expert with the flyer
swatter and they did become less of a pain. Didn’t hear much bird song so maybe that’s the problem. No birds to eat the flies. Still a good stop tho.
