Sunday 3 March 2013

Another “get some miles behind us” day so it’s just a repeat of yesterday except that now we’re on typical French roads – long, straight and tree-lined passing through towns and villages.

Unfortunately it became apparent that although we could easily make our target area, there were no stopping places there! All the campsites we've seen are closed at this time of year, leaving only aires so a rethink. The couple we met at Millau had recommended Beaugency so a quick check of the map showed it would only be a short diversion, although we would (again!) be short of our target.

Not to mind, it’s now sunny and warm so an early stop wouldn't go amiss. And we were happy to do so as Beaugency is a lovely little town and has connections with St. Joan D’Arc. The aire is right on the banks of the River Loire next to a popular car park and petanque courts, both very busy.

Tomorrow we’re going to have to do some serious miles.
