Hi @Jenben ,
looks very nice ,where are you based /aire

^{_{Subscribers  do not see these advertisements}}

 

[Jenben]

Hello @FIDGET we were at the aire at St Gengoux le National which is handy for a long voie verte route and also lots of clearly marked cycle routes on side roads ( where we took the photo).

Hi @Jenben
Free or charge, What about water

Thanks very much, you have picked some very nice aires ( impressed )

Is it open to the public yet? Is there a campsite or an overnighter near the harbour ? as hubbie and daughters came to a match there when Wembly was being revamped and said it was a great area.

 

[Jenben]

Hello @FIDGET it is free to stay, really it's just a big car park but marked for camping cars, grass, seats and picnic tables. There is a small toilet block for the voie verte which had water in it, there is a drive over waste spot and you can buy water from a borne but it wasn't working and we didn't need it whilst there. The little town of St Gengoux 500 m walk to the centre is well worth a visit as it has some lovely mediaeval ( I think !) buildings.
Glad you like our choices

 

[FIDGET]

Thanks again,
now thinking of rearranging our trip down to Limoges via Angers Niort & then going a bit more east on the return than previously planned. Perhaps come back up the east side of Paris.
