Stim'Otel Agen

Last night of rest before all the campsites close. It was the last campground that I’ve found that is open all year long. Found out today that the ‘Aire du Service Camping’ that I had found as a back-up are reserved just for ‘camping cars’ not tents. WTF? Why can caravans camp for free anywhere they want and we can’t??? The internet connection at this campsite won ...

... wine on the trip (that's saying something considering we had a ridiculous amount of wine). It was a Mas de la Dame Organic Reserve (AOC Les-Baux-en Provence) and considering how complex the layers of fruit, chocolate and spice flavors were, was amazingly only a 2006. We continue to long for it.<br>As we exited out the courtyard we were met by the chef who chatted us up a bit and it was nice to know such inventive, fantastic food was being created by a sincerely nice individual ...

... the countryside and seeing beautiful and interesting sites! Here&#8217;s a few shots of some of the &#8220;sites&#8221; you don&#8217;t read about in the guidebooks! We hope you enjoy Provence as much as we did!<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>

... cars and lorrys. Although we stopped for many water breaks we finally made it to Agen where we drank a beer on a park bench, like a homeless, which we were.<br><br>Just outside of the city we set up camp off a foot pass next to a huge river. We cooked our food on the rocks next to the river and as the sun set we listened to some wierd animal sounds which for some reason we assumed to be aligators.

7 days in the small village of Miradoux in Gascony ... living in a surprisingly large 4 bedroom house overlooking a patchwork valley and touring through beautiful ...

It was a long day on the bus, but we finally made it to Provence. On the way we stopped in Avignon to see the Pope's Palace and then made our way to the Roman Aqueduct. After dinner in Provence, we stumbled upon a crazy street party with a DJ. It was fun experience to dance with the locals and get a feel for the flavor of the town. We are off to Barcelona tomorrow!

Through Biarritz and Bayonne, then long cross-country slog which eventually become pretty after Casteljaloux.<br><br>Funny little campsite miles from anywhere with odd but nice owner (looked like Roy Hudd in long shorts). We were the only campers ...

... Beautiful Village in France, was much more worthy of the title. It was appeared to be deserted but for a young couple who watched their five young children race their skateboards down the main street. We marveled at the sleepiness of French towns and villages, which seemed to only come alive at lunchtime. We were quite exhausted after Loubressac and decided to drive home. Our return journey involved feats of brilliant navigation by the writer and equally ...

... of the Abbots and the Bishops of Condom. Larressingle s**ved as a refuge for the local people. A circular rampart protects the church and castle and a numb** of small dwellings. It is an impossibly small village, p**haps just fifty paces wide. Despite the constant drizzle Larressingle was und** siege again, this time by tourists and French school children. Th**e was standing room only in the crêpê restuarants and the craft shops w**e doing a brisk ...
