| Mont de Marson to Lembras - 102 miles |
More rain overnight but
no leaks, so fingers crossed. Woken early by several what sounded
like fighter jet aircraft taking off nearby – not been able to find
out where they are, none of our maps show a military airfield nearby
(???). Anyway although it was a bit damp underfoot (cue muddy doggy
pawprints) it was a nice morning so after the usual chores we set
off, planning to go cross-country and avoid motorways and maybe see
bits of France we haven't seen before. First target was Bergerac, in
the Dordogne region.
Needing some bits and
pieces of grocery we stopped off at an Intermarche, then continued
along the D933, a very pleasant if not particularly fast road
especially through the goodly number of small villages and towns.
Lunch in a roadside parking area whilst we planned our overnight
stop, deciding that indeed Bergerac was probably going to be the
place. So we picked a nice-looking aire from a choice of several and
let TomTom do his thing.
We found a small,
10-place aire about half full just off the main road through the
village of Lembras and pitched up. A bit noisy at first as the local
creche was next door, it later became peaceful whilst we relaxed with
a cuppa and cake.
It never seems to make
much sense to us that a local council would provide such a pleasant
space, together with water and waste disposal for nothing – perhaps
they're hoping we'll spend some money. Or is it just that France is
particularly keen on motorhoming?
