Hi all. We will be returning home from France on the overnight CaenOuistreham/Portsmouth ferry on 25th/26th July. We are not sailing until 11.30 pm and only travelling from Saumur to Ouistreham, a drive of about 3 hours, so would like to spend the afternoon/early evening exploring the Normandy beaches, if at all possible.…
We have been canoeing on the Dordogne, in the Sarlat area, on several occasions. We love the clear water, due to the stone bottomed river. We are heading to Bordeaux this year, and wondered if anyone knew what the river is like between Bordeaux and Bergerac ?
Hello im looking at travelling to the La Rosaleda ((conil de la Frontera) and la Bella vista (manilva) earl 2025 and want to split the stay between the two sites 1 weeks at one and 4 at the other, but cant decide which would be the best for the 4 week stay.

Having had a very enjoyable three weeks in May we have come round to thinking that a second trip to France might be doable. Question is, how easy would it be to find a campsite in the Normandy D Day beach area at end of July? We saw the new British Memorial on TV and couldn't work out how we missed it. Would it be foolish…
Hull - Rotterdam Ferry. Because of a number of food intolerances, I want to be able to take some pea "milk" and gluten free vegan bread with us next week as finding these in the small towns where we will be staying is probably not possible. Just how strict is the interpretation of "plant based products"? I have taken small…
Hello, I've towed a bit before including caravan, trailer tent and boat. I have a Series 3 Bailey Cabrera coupled with a BMW X5 3.0 auto. We are thinking of going to Garmisch in the German Alps and then going on to Lake Como before trundling to Brittany to meet our family. Long way, I know. I've been looking at the routes…

We are experienced caravanner( member for over 30 years) but are in the early stages of looking at the pros and cons of a camper van - a conversion based on Ducato?sprinter or similar.

Hello, we are wanting to visit a friend who lives in Thiviers France. Looked up what appeared to be an ideal site within walking distance of the town. Camping-le-repaire. It used to be a Municipal site and there were some issues keeping it open and so an agreement was made to sell to an ex council leader in 2013 so it…
We tow our Fiat 500 with an A-Frame and heard many negative stories about doing so!! However, since travelling through France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, and Italy, the only time we were stopped by the police was going into, and coming out of, Italy. We showed the police our trailer certificate and…
