This years Epic Summer trip

In the summer there is a little train and a boat to take you across to the island. but its all packed up now. France's summer season seems so much shorter than the UK. Bizarre.

Moved on again after a very late Breakfast to the bridge over to the island. Michelle has set off to walk around it and supposedly find the mystery Boulangerie hidden on the island which is important as I have no bread for my Morbier cheese. :D

Bike is still on the back. I am quite enjoying this new game where you actually use the van to see stuff. Makes a change. There is a very laid back and relaxed vibe about this place out of season. Blimey! The suns coming out as I type. Its just so quiet here. Day and night now. To be honest if I thought the weather would be ok I might be tempted to stay longer. Supposedly protests going on across France on Wednesday which would be our moving day so maybe we should.

Protests any connection with you being there ?

Possibly. They are annoyed about some Rosbif scoffing all their cheese and beer, the latter of which come from Belgium anyway so I dunno what they are so annoyed about. French are a bit weird though. :D

They would probably be more annoyed about you eating Belgian Cheese in France Barry.

 
Love a good French protest, from upside down town names, yellow jackets and few years ago witnessed a great protest in Metz, these boys and girls know how to make a proper racket. 🤣
 
So Michelle found the mystery Boulangerie on the island and brought back some fabulous bread. We drove to the Aire further round the lake to empty the loo and then ended up back at our original spot we were on for the past two nights. I may as well have left the bloody bike there! :D

This time however Michelle decided she wanted a better view from the front lounge of the horses and lake so we have gone the other way round (Exciting isn't it! :D). However this is a risky strategy in France under normal circumstances rather than parking long ways on as its like a magnet for Johnny foreigner to come and park two feet from your window and start a bloody row. This is where the bike comes in useful as a kind of motorhome "Cock blocker". :LOL: I think they will be too scared to come down the rickety path here though and there are literally more places to free park round this lake than you can shake a stick at but old habits die hard. :D
