Building dens and making friends

Biscarosse gave us our first proper taste of beach van life.

After three weeks spent inland and a long journey across France, this family of beach bums were ready to be reunited with the coast.

Jim described La Roque-Gageac as 'Disney meets the Cotswolds' (I wonder if the Dordogne tourist board fancy that one?)

Beaulieu means, literally, 'beautiful place' and I can't think of a better description.

On Monday 5 August we left the Alps and started our journey towards the coast.

Our ferry arrived in Calais around 8.15pm French time on Tuesday evening.

We left Exmouth on the morning of Tuesday 23 July. Ivan probably asked "are we nearly there yet" 17 times before we reached the A30.
