Though it took a while to find the road, we managed to park at Saumur next to the Chateau, a most impressive building with panoramic views over the countryside.
We enjoyed a walk down to the town and across the Loire to buy bread. Continuing on our journey, we arrived at La Fleche where we found that the site would not open until 4 pm. Since we were not over impressed with the appearance of the site anyway, we drove on to Evron where we booked into an ACSI site, Camp Municipal de la Zone Verte. It was raining for the first time throughout the holiday and this prevented us going far but we enjoyed a walk arond prior to settling down for the night.
We left the site in the rain the following morning and called into a local supermaket prior to heading north. Gradually, the rain eased and we arrived at Les Andelys following a pleasant journey on predictably quiet roads. The site, De L'lle des Trois Rois was a delight positioned on the Seine overlooked by the chateau. We thoroughly enjoyed our walk into the village and back along the bank of the Seine.

Our final day involved travelling to Guines where the site, Camping La Belle Peche was far from inspiring, prior to catching the Sea France ferry the following morning.
Another excellent holiday lasting for 16 days from Tuesday 21st September to Wednesday 6th October. Next year, we will leave a little earlier as the days are certainly getting cooler into October.
