France 2012

We had another wonderful holiday in France this year. Once again we stayed at Bois Soleil at St. Georges de Didonne near Royan.  It is a lovely friendly site right next to a beautiful beach (with stunning sunsets when the weather is right) with a swimming  pool and good facilities.  We meet up with friends each year and have a wonderfully sociable time.  The weather wasn't as good as usual  with year but it didn't seem to matter when chatting with friends with a glass of wine!  We stayed at the municiple site at La Fleche to break up the journey both ways and would thorougly recommend that site as well.  Lovely views over the river towards the town which is a short walk away.  We keep meaning to stay for longer than two nights as it is a lovely area.  The only downside was the Hautes Coutures site at Caen.  The access to the pitches is dreadful.  For some reason they have high kerbs that you have to negotiate the caravan over - we broke our jockey wheel this year - and most are on a steep slope as well so we won't be staying there again.  This winters project is to work out a different crossing and route so that we can avoid it.  We are counting the days until our next visit.
