It was about a 45-minute run from our campsite in Saint-Jean-de-Luz to our next campsite, in Spain, at San Sebastién [San Sébastian if you’re French]. We didn’t have to be there until midday so we left shortly before 11:00 to…

A New Type of Adventure
This was the start of something new for us. We are heading for a 3-week escorted motorhome tour of the northern coast of Spain, beginning at the east end in San Sebastián near the French border and ending at the…

Carrières des Lumières
We’ve come back to Maussane-les-Alpilles again. Apart from being a jolly nice part of Provence, this is largely because, when there is an interesting subject being shown, Francine loves to visit the Carrières des Lumières. The carrière is a huge…
