Keith the Loire is vantastic

We spent a day travelling through on our way back last year.....last time i stayed was 30 years ago on a school trip! Amazingly i still remembered loads of places. Its certainly a place that needs more time.

Just added Gorge du Verdon as a place to visit

We are sailing at 9.25am and going straight for home. That gorge area looks nice doesn't, I'll look out for the Heffa!

Jed got any gps coordinates, looked in the aires book found one , near the Lac but only one.

we have kinda book marked the aire in castellane. Its in the aire book. Med section number 170. has a chapel on top of a BIG rock, looks really nice if you search it on google images.

I am camping about 30km from 4 routes and cycling to watch. Won't get caught up in traffic then...and i can have a few beers
It's the Westy off white colour by the way

We love pootling along the Loire.

Saumur is a well know place to stop along the Loire but there are, in my opinion nicer, less touristy places.

Amboise is like a mini Saumur with a lovely town - reasonably priced municipal site there too.

We also stopped another year at Langeais - again a very cheap municipal and a lovely little town but with a large chateau right in the middle of the town. We stopped for a couple of beers in the shadow of the chateau.

A couple of times we have started at Tours and driven along the Loire just stopping here and there as we fancied it.
