I think you can claim a first finding a Lidl open on a Sunday in France.
Bob.
I expect the cars were all staff, it was going home time and so they pushed off. I don’t blame them really, it is Sunday after all.
Ach I knew they'd open tomorrow bit I really didn't want to stay there it was right on the side of a busy dual carriagewayCould have been really worrying Tam, they could have held you for ransom!!! You would have been there months while we all had a whip-round.
To be honest I'm not sure if it was open as I didn't go in the shop . But the gate was open, the lights were all on etc and 4 or 5 cars in the carpark. I only pulled in to have lunch at it was basically on the road I was driving so I thought rather than divert off.
Can you measure the bridge for future reference lolI might give that Aire a try, looks nice and we are 2.6m, we will be coming back from the UK in July via Newhaven.
I was surprised when the car came back she must have been driving down the other side of the road or something...she just laughed I don't think she understood what I was saying. I only said to her ...I was in the toilet .. that was it she laughed and opened the gate then drove off again.. the bloody gate was closing again as I drove through ..it nearly hit the vanI expect the cars were all staff, it was going home time and so they pushed off. I don’t blame them really, it is Sunday after all.
I would just be really really grateful that one came back for you. I hope you were nice
I love these low bridges, go under them at speed and watch Janie slide down the seat.
Bob.
You might be too close to stop at Nevers for coffee break, but it is worth a stop. Some ancient buildings right by the river bridge and some amazing modern glass in the church, it’s a shame you would not be able to go in with the doggies. We went in one at a time. Church was bombed by RAF going for the road bridge and adjacent railway bridge to stop the Germans racing up to Normandy to stop the invasion.
I probably won't stop there now as I want to get south of clermont ferrand for tomorrow night which is about 4 hours driving. We've been missing our walks the last 3 or 4 days having only done around 7000 steps today.
I’ll do the maths for you, in another 11111 miles
Good going TamBonswa
We are in issoire tonight , arrived around 3pm , we left gien around 10am and had stopped for lunch about 20km north of Clermont-Ferrand. We are on an official aire again with all free services. Currently 7 other vans here with me all French, the aire holds 14 in total. Edit* no 8 just arrived with a trailer.
Had a walk around the town , its pretty sleepy with not much going on at this time of year , I was looking for something to take pics of but there wasn't much .
I was behind this camper today that I've seen before , it's a German cyropractor ( spelt wrong ) I'm sure I was parked beside him somewhere in Spain or summit before.
Another milestone on the milometer today not to be seen the like of for another 10000 miles
And the rest are the town ...not much to see really View attachment 692145View attachment 692146View attachment 692147View attachment 692148View attachment 692149View attachment 692150View attachment 692151View attachment 692152View attachment 692153
you'll not be long getting down to Narbonne, the aire that used to be there is now a sports stadium although the big Carrefour supermarket across the road allows overnight stays in the car park the new aire is a few miles out of town now near the sea, very quiet but Fiddlesticks all else lol
I'm leaving mine the colour it is for now as the paintwork is good. . But if that old-timer is 3500 ill eat my hat. I'd expect it to be 4.5 -5t
Yeah I should make narbonne tomorrow, will see how things go where I park , I don't actually need the aires I just thought I'd make use of them where provided. But I've enough water to see me in to Spain.Good going Tam
What end of the town is that and is overnighting allowed?
At the Cowie end. The only "No Overnighting" restriction I've seen is about 4 seperate bays nearest the beachfront houses at Cowie.
Nice one. I always presumed, because of the caravan park there, that they would have enforced restrictions all along the beach front. Gonna try that out this weekend.
There are signs now at Carrefour banning overnight parking. I think you have to be away by 9pm. It would be Gruissan for me.Good going Tam
