Val de Vesle Municipal site

Posted on September 15, 2022 by Ian

We then moved to a municipal camping site at Val de Vesel. We haven’t stayed in French municipal campsites before. We had ready they were basic although I really liked this one. We are quite self sufficient and we don’t use the site toilet block or showers.

The site is surrounded by farmland and the canal is nearby. There is very little amenities in the village so you need to come prepared with everything you need at this site.

There is an interesitng maze created in the corn field. This is next to an amusement park, but I’ve left that out of the images, on purpose.

Stop over at Le Mont Bruyere, Saint Amand les Eaux

It’s taken a while to start adding more updates from our tour of France in the summer, so a series of updates will follow.

We visited the Tour de France in Dunkirk where Duncan met Geraint Thomas and collected the famous Gilet.

We stayed here for at Saint Amand les Eaux for a couple of nights, visiting the tour in. Dunkirk and the cobbles.

I spent a day editing and looking after the dogs whilst everyone visited the tour in the cobbles.

Arrived in Guines, France

Posted on July 6, 2022 by Ian

After an overnight Britstop in Chesterfield enroute from Glasgow we took the Eurotunnel and arrived in Guines. We had a trouble free quick trip on the Eurotunnel with an easy pet check-in. Max did not like the train very much though.

We arrived in Guines to nice weather and settled in for a few nights.

We are staying on sites for the first part of the trip as we travel in a family convoy. We have stayed here many times over the years. It’s a lovely rural relaxed site, yet still close to the Eurotunnel and ferry terminal.
