Brilliant! Doing that for the first time in July. Are tolls still pay as you go if you need to or is it all via a chip/tag only these days?
They are all Pay as You Go. The tag allows you to go through without stopping. We are just approaching our 9th week of touring Spain and France and so far have avoided tolls and just enjoyed the small villages. You do have to be careful of cameras though. Tolls are easier driving but some can be expensive. If you put your route into Waze it tells you the approx toll cost. We use the option in Waze to toggle routes via tolls on or off.
Plan was for the Dordogne. But currently just below Rouen and its bloody boiling so may head back north or head for west coast.
We’re on our way to Ile de Re. Been chased out of Italy by thunderstorms & mediocre weather (should have stayed at home
) Currently on a site NW of Clermont Ferrand. Having driven through the alps, we’re having a rest for the weekend. Should be on Ile de Re on Monday. Hopefully the weather should improve as we head west.
This is the site I’d picked out. Further up on the western tip. Gets good reviews & is only €17 with the ACSI card.
Depends if you want somewhere to go in the evening that’s lively or you just want a bbq on the beach type evening. St Martin was buzzing with bars and restaurants all round the harbour.
I left the Loire this morning and came down to the Dordogne. It’s lovely down here - 28 degrees and mostly sunny.
Thank you - very useful.
Interesting - look forward to watching that.
