Leaving Airvault for Durtal
Le guardian brought me my boite congelé oú sac à glace, or whatever - he’s ery nice, and his camp site is super, except that the douches made my clothes and towel wet before I used it! Oh well, a small price to pay for a super site - £1 a night! They’ve all been very reasonable, except La Rochelle where I had to pay 3F to refrecher my ice sac. So we said our farewells to AIRVAULT and its XII bridge - Bill took a photo of it. Travelled about 100 miles north without many errors! I was intending to get into the Mayenne region, but we saw this beautiful château at Durtal, then an advertisement for the Camping International site, so stopped, and as it is such a nice site - 3-star - we decided to stop here - £2 a night, douches 3F extra.
