Rolling slowly South West. While Chris is working and there's a heatwave we will stay on Aires with electricity. Stayed in a quiet quiet little Aire 7.50 euro for the night with electricity and free wi-fi. Showers 1 euro, very basic. Park 4 night said there was a washing machine but it seems to be locked up. Not quite the same as the pics on park 4 night and a little messy with litter . It worked for us as Chris used free internet for work while we sorted out what French data SIM we needed. Nice for a couple of nights while working and waiting for some cooler weather π https://maps.app.goo.gl/9NU5CxYLZbUfjNMRA We now have a SIM for data thanks to Adrien a colleague of Chris. A couple of hours drive further South and we arrived at a beautiful Aire where we are staying for a few nights. It's located on a vineyard and has beautiful wine barrel shepherd huts that are available for rent. Lovely friendly owners. 10 euros for the night which includes electricity , unlimited water and very clean and well kept facilities (shower/toilet). Vaudelnay is a commune in the Maine-et-Loire department in western France. The owners, winemakers place is open throughout the year and invites you to discover the wines of the area. 389 Rue de Chanteloup 49260 Vaudelnay France ππΎπ·ππ«πΎ
