Camping en France!

Peg's Doc said we could start doing stuff again from 6 weeks after the surgery, so we decided to head South to France. Rather than trying to find our Endless Summer, we would have been happy with just "Summer".

First stop - CHAMPAGNE, of course! Chalons en Champagne was our destination, not far from Epernay.

Next stop - more CHAMPAGNE! The Moet & Chandon variety.

We decided we'd better do the tour of the 28kms of undergound cellars before quenching our thirst.

We were rewarded at the end with an icy cold and tightly packed glass of the good stuff.

Here's some more good stuff!

We knew we were in the right area when they have roundabouts like this. These guys are all about their wine.

Where it all begins...

The last step in the process. We think the best step. We took 2 of these steps to be sure. It was a good step. We haven't looked back.

On Ile de Re, off the coast of La Rochelle, western France. Our first taste of the beach all "summer".

We spent a lot of time on the beach.

Lapin a la BBQ!!! Aka, bunny. It was great!

Mont St Michel in northern France. Vaguely similar to St Michael's Mount across the creek in southern England. We don't know which one was there first.

Our final stop, not too far from Dunkerque near Amiens next to a lovely little lake.

It just so happened that it was somebody's birthday!!!! Necessity being the mother of invention, a match was called into play to be our candle for the occasion.
