On Monday evening we arrived on the French Riviera, after a very long drive
up along the motorway. After a few false starts and several closed
camperstops, we eventually ended up in a place called Ste Maxime.
Unusually for France there were height barriers and no campervan signs
everywhere and many of the sites listed in our book had closed. It seems
that campervanners are just not posh enough for this area of the world!
Ste Maxime turned out to be quite a nice town and we had a nice day
wandering round the harbour looking at the expensive yachts and doing some
much needed washing. The Mistral was blowing full force and I nearly lost
my new italian hat in the sea, it was good for drying the washing though!
Tonight we are in La Lavandou, on the sea front and surrounded by 15 or so
other vans. It is the last big holiday of the year here at the moment and
there are lots of french around. Today we walked up to Borme Les Mimosas, a
village about 4km inland and renowned for its flowers. It proved difficult
to find amoungst the modern holiday villa sprawl but lovely once we got
there, full of narrow streets lined with flowers (picture).
