What have you got?

[cipro]

In an Orchard on a cider farm in Brittany a member of the France Passion scheme which I thouroughly reccomend to you all. The Van, the Cider, the scheme, and La belle France.

I have heard of france passion, but have u got to pre book all your stops and is it only one night.

No you can't book and you can only stay for 24 hrs. The scheme works by you as a motorhome join the scheme which runs easter ro easter, They send you a guide book with map and a list of all the French members these can be Vinyards farms or as in the attached photo a cider farm. They offer a space or two with access to water and a place to dispose of rubbish, they do not have showers or toilets so you have to be self contained, but you can empty toilets at aires. They hope (but you are under no obligation) that you will buy some of what they sell and I can tell you it is great to sit here back in Blighty drinking Vino or Cider from somewhere you stayed. We have 2 botts of luxury cider saved for Christmas day. Its a great scheme it costs only £18 and the stays are free unless you buy stuff but you would be buying Wine in France anyway and we have bought the best butter and eggs and cider etc and stayed at some awesome spots and usually on our own. For more info go to www.france-passion.com. you won't regret it. regards rick

Hi Lenny. Nice one, just seen the pics on Ebay and it looks real clean.

Hopefully we will meet up soon and I can see it in the flesh.

Coffee,no, you can't christen a van with coffee, It's murder to wash

off. I thought maybe a drop of the red stuff and a little of the amber nectar
