Having left our favourite campsite to date at Villefranche de Rouergue after a relaxing day off the road we have moved down to the Mediterranean coast via a beautiful little town called Montolieu, the Hay on Wye of France. We had a lovely stay here on a small site, after breakfast in Albi. Enjoyed beers in the evening sunshine in the most French of village squares! First thunderstorm last night but no real problem and we were away early. We called in today at Carcassone and had a walk around both the new and old towns (la Cite). Breathtaking place and really does seem like a film set.
Thereafter a contrasting run as we neared Perpignan and the coast. More traffic, less scenic and more Brits!
Struggled a little to find a suitable campsite for the first time this afternoon as we have reached a much busier part of France as we are nearing the popular route into Spain towards Barcelona. However we are settled in to a pleasant site in Argeles sur Mer close to the Spanish border.
