How far will you go?

we generally dont go far on any one day as we often dont know where we are going....
have a little bimble along, find a nice quiet spot for lunch, might look at the map and check the general direction, the evening spot comes usually when weve had enough driving or arrived at somewhere pretty....generally most everywhere in France
yes. sometimes we want to bat along to reach a particular place, but with plenty of time on pur hands and thousands of stopping places, whats the hurry....
You have hit on the principal advantage that motorhomes have there i.e plenty of stopping places, that example of mine 295 miles from Ouistreham was driven by the lack of convenient night halts in France in April and the end of early season opening for our
regular municipal an hour up the road.Exactly why we are considering a MH. Would also let us visit my home in Norway more often......the distances involved in getting there are rather large!

Stevesie. Where in Languedoc are you aiming for? There are many of us on this forum who know the area well. I used to live there and Val has property down there (I think!). We will be in our old stomping ground, near St Chinian, mid Sep for a couple of
weeks. I note that the lovely little site in St Chinian is now open until mid Nov, it used to close end Aug, but watch the boulders on the site!!!Millau/Gorge du Tarn, then Carcassonne initially, from then on as the whim takes us. Maybe a few days at the coast and get a feel for the Pyrenees, before starting to head north. Just trying to get the mind set of not trying to have a four week tour in
two and a half!that is the tricky bit. When working we often thought afterwards that we had spent too much time travelling instead of exploring and enjoying.

The last few times we've been to La Rochelle area, we've driven to the tunnel from north Manchester one day, crossed into France and stayed over night at the bay de Somme services and then continued on our way.
MM, curious you choose this route when going to West coast of France, why not Portsmouth to Caen?

The Chunnel is easier when you travel with a Molly the Mutt
