When we had our place in Burgundy, Chalons-sur-Sâone was our nearest large town.

Market on Friday, lunch at Le Verre Galant in the square by the Cathedral. Loved it there.

Good to hear Maison, we are at Camping du Pont de Bourgogne but think it's too far to walk into centre, what do you think. We have elderly dog so it does hinder us a little.

We spent 16 years living in Burgundy for six months each year and visited Dijon regularly. We loved the whole area from there down to Maçon.

What we're struggling with is not really getting close enough to Villages etc and enjoying the local foods, size of motorhome does cause us a problem. We would have loved to go into Villages off main road between Dijon and Beaune wine route but didn't as we were worried we'd get stuck. Thinking of heading Macon/Cluny way on Tuesday but it's trying to find suitable sites. Cheers Smudger55

Bit of a result at the storage yard today. Owner asks if I’d move the van, which I did, then we laid a new membrane over part of the parking bay, then back filled, levelled and finally rolled. Winner.

Happy Bear

 

[Smudger55]

Walked into Chalon sur Saone, visited the Cathedral and DOORS.

Plenty of "porn" here

, don't tell management.

 

[Smudger55]

Can see why Maison loves the square and the door porn

Good to hear Maison, we are at Camping du Pont de Bourgogne but think it's too far to walk into centre, what do you think. We have elderly dog so it does hinder us a little.

My wife has bilateral knee replacements but managed the walk OK.

If you walk in there are plenty of restaurants/bars to sit at and watch the world go by while you rest before the return walk. However, only you can decide.

Whatever you do, have a good holiday, there are plenty of sites to see around there.

EDIT

Sorry, I have just seen your photos and realise that you made it!

Parked on the spotless free village aire at Chasselay, Isère. Part of the community centre with bar/cafe/shop and 4 gites available. View towards the Vercor Massif, location of the tragic Resistance Battle following D Day. No time to visit unfortunately as we were heading for Briançon and then a fast blast on the Autostrada to the Adriatic.

Still exploring Cyprus…..

Market at Paphos

Coffee and coke, (the liquid, soft drink, not the powder through a twenty pound note), in the market.

The Church of St. Nicholas

An interior shot

My daughter got married in that church.

My daughter got married in that church.

Delighted to hear that. It’s a magical location.

Best wishes to the both of them.

The Pyrenees today, driving up from France.

About 1 hour later driving down into Spain

Now in Zaragoza, 30c....woohoo.

 

[Orion]

This morning at Porto Sant’Elpidio. Breakfast on the beach and the resident water baby couldn’t resist a dip.

Now at Termoli in the dedicated camper area of the marina - €15 a night including showers/wc with a bar and restaurant adjacent. Just had a bimble around the old town with people watching in the main square - us in shorts and shirts getting tanned, the Italians wrapped up in puffer jackets!

 

[Smudger55]

Today drove north via Lac De Dur, the largest man made lake in France. Used Park4nights to find parking, brill, lovely view and snack bar by car park.

 

[Smudger55]

We then drove on to Bohan, Belgium, views from our pitch.

 

[Aji]

On site within an olive farm near Utrera, about 30km south of Seville.
15 euros a night including 6a ehu, services etc.
1 euro for a hot shower.
Small swimming pool as well.
I chose the hard standing pitch but others are parked up in the olive groves.
I'm based here for the Motogp at Jerez.

More exploring of Cyprus…….

Coastline near “Aphrodite’s Birthplace”

Fishing harbour at Zygi

A real working boat rather than a gin palace.

 

[bobnick]

Chaser, this any good?

 

[Smudger55]

The bridge in Bohan, just down the road was finally bombed by Germans in WWII. (English translation on right)

 

[3DOM]

I cheated a bit for this picture.
It was a screenshot taken on my computer whilst looking at a few webcams.
This is Brixham harbour.

Not quite in the same league, but there's a guy on YouTube who's putting the turbo engine out of his Grandad's old Daihatsu 4Trak into an old Grey Fergie (yes he has been accused of heresy !) He's a canny Yorkshire one man agri/welder repair tyke, that dabbles in low cost tractor pulling.
