This is a truly lovely area.
We started with Perpignan, a gorgeous city, with great shopping, lovely old streets and buildings, and all the usual major buildings.

Nantes and Toulouse
One of these cities, was a hit, the other, a miss. 
Nantes has great public transport, and you can buy your tickets on line and store them on your phone.

Carnac and Around
We’ve been to Carnac twice before, but this is the first time we have had sunny weather.
Mont Saint-Michel and Saint-Malo
Well, they have certainly done a lot of work here in the last four years. They’ve put in a new road which is open to the sea underneath, and taken out all the old car parks near the Mont. There is a huge new car park and a shuttle bus service (you can walk if you want – we did – 45 minutes each way) and the shuttle buses are push-me-pull-you so they don’t need to turn round at the end of the trip.
Heading Back North
In Nimes they have some authentic Roman buildings in the city centre, including an amphitheatre which is still used for bullfights and other events. It’s now the roadworks season in Nimes, and diversions tend to lose signs, resulting in extended tours of quaint little back streets.
Le Sud
It has been very warm, didn’t expect this at end of September – 31 degrees! A bit cooler today thank goodness.
Rocamadour and loads of balloons….
La Roque-Gageac
A village jammed onto a small space between a cliff and the Dordogne. Most of the free space is now taken up by wandering Poms and their campervans.
The Dordogne Valley
So there we were at sunrise this morning at Domme, renowned for its view of the Dordogne River…
Pressing On Through France
After our first night back in France, spent in a hypermarket car park on the outskirts of Caen, we decided to have another visit to Le Mont St-Michel, just to see if the weather held up this time. It did, and we spent a night there in the car park out by the causeway, with a few dozen other campervans.
