It's a lovely hot sunny day and more packing and sorting going on. I'm too frightened to open up the tent and see what state it's in, so I'm busying myself by scrubbing the muddy groundsheet instead.I always choose to camp on these trips. It gives you the freedom of doing what you want, when you want and also privacy, which gites (unless there are only a few of you in a big one) don't.
You can't beat coming back from a great trip underground, cooking round a camping stove, drinking wine under the stars and telling tales of the day.
It is also dirt cheap! This year we are re-visiting Brissac and Camping le val d'herault. We have a pool, bar, local river and sandy beach and good ameneties. £130 each for the 2 weeks including hire of a fridge and electricity.....doesn't get better than that! Plus all the schools have gone back so it *should be lovely and peaceful.
