Doc on tour, France, Spain, Morroco.

[WESTY66]

I'm looking for pretty villages, castles,

Sorry tam you’re in the wrong country for that!!
You need to be in Deutschland for “pretty villages” and “castles”

 

[Bustup15]

Le Mans has an Aire with a large car park adjacent - foc. On the river, 10 minutes from old town centre.

Le Mans museum - car park opposite foc. Fantastic motorheads spot for an hour or 3. Prices in shop are outrageous!

Puy du Fou, if you've never been check it out on YouTube to see if it's something you'd like but you'd probably have to leave the dogs in the van if they'd be okay by themselves.

There are kennels you can leave them in

 

[Barclaybasher]

There are kennels you can leave them in

Tam have you ever recorded the dogs when left in the van on their own?

We'll look out for you in Morocco in February.

 

[Langtoftlad]

I always enjoyed Saumur [a bit further on from Le Mans], very pretty.
And decent fizzy wine too

 

[Riverbankannie]

Further than you want to go now, but in right direction for later on is Rocamadour, you can overnight (paid)on the large carpark at the top, but for now, any of the Loire places like Ambois.

 

[Northernraider]

We stayed at the bottom it was an interesting trip through the tunnel to get there

 

[Northernraider]

Had a typical French lunch

Cheese pieces wi pickled onions n Tom's

Yum yum .

Van driving lovely , a real pleasure to drive now , smooth , quiet and no up and down the gears like a hoors undergarments.

The satnav however is a complete pain in the arse , it seems to love taking me off the main roads on to little one track lanes with no passing places that I'm sure are only meant for farm access etc , fortunately there's never any bugger else on them so I don't have to manoeuvre round folk but it certainly isn't quicker so I'm not sure why it does it. Doesn't seem to matter what setting I choose.

Still think French drivers are shit too , they have no idea of spacial awareness and panic when they see a camper coming towards them.

 

[Lenny HB]

That cheese & bread looks far too English for a French lunch.

Well I didn't use French ingredients...cause their cheese is .

Lovely tiger loaf and red Leicester, far better than all that French smelly feet nonsense

Looks like you took my advice and are at Courville-sur-Eure.

You had better stop using P4N as that's French.

 

[Northernraider]

Aye but it doesn't smell of cheese lol

 

[bigtwin]

Looks like red Leicester to me.

Lovely tiger loaf and red Leicester

Recognisable anywhere, even when hidden between two slices of tiger bread in France.

[scousebird]

Tam try some Comté cheese, it's not smelly feet at all.

You can’t b serious about French cheese, you’ll be saying they can’t cook and their wine is rubbish next

 

[Northernraider]

Well you said it lol.

 

[G-RMPS]

Try Munster or Beaufort. Or, better still, bring some back for me.

 

[Northernraider]

I remember the first time I visited France in my late teens back in the 90's .. I tried many cheeses and thought they were a bit rank.

I don't really like strong cheese . To try them again someone else would have to have them and let me try a taste as I'm just not In to buying food I don't like.

I love Chinese food, Indian, Greek, Spanish , Mexican and some of the stuff I tried in Morocco. I've never really liked much French cuisine, not that keen on Italian either they are both my last choice for restaurants. I do however like French bread and cakes , wine .. .well I'm no conosuier I tend to buy quite cheap wine and often the label is what attracts me. Expensive wine is wasted on me and champagne...well its rank I make the toast then water the plants or give it to the first minor I see who's desperate to try it.

And caviar well that's just wrong on so many levels


Nope I have to say I like simple tasty filling food , all that fancy overpriced crap where there's a spoonful in the middle of the plate that they deliberately miss with the sauce you can keep lol.

Agree about Italian.

Agree about Italian.

Can't even get a decent pizza in Italy.


It's one of those foods nearly every country makes it better than the one that invented it

 

[Sedge5]

Good luck with your adventures. Looking forward to reading about them plus pics.

 

[Li150]

Agree about Italian.

Yes, how many ways can you mix tomatoes and pasta, loads of different shapes but the same taste.

Great pics again, Tam.

As a matter of interest, what Sat Nav system are you using?

you've nailed it with that comment

I do like Italian food but whenever we eat in a Italian restaurant every fork full tastes exactly the same
