We are on a countdown now for our impending French caravan tour ( can you tell I'm excited - he he ).

We'll be going in our 1999 V70 TDI Auto towing our Swift Charisma and be away for a few weeks.

Plans are :

Portsmouth to Ouistreham ( Caen ).

Cean to Tours.

Tours to Clermont Ferrand.

Clermont Ferrand to Argeles sur Mer on the Western Med ( or there abouts, not finally decided ).

Argeles to Martres Tolosane ( Mid Pyrenees near Toulouse ).

Martres Tolosane to Biarritz or St Jean de Luz on the Atlantic.

Biarritz to La Rochelle.

La Rochelle to St Malo and home.

We have chosen our sites ( ACSI ) but would welcome any recommendations for visits out from ( especially chateaux from ) Tours, Clermont Ferrand and La Rochelle.

Also, anyone been near Argeles sur Mer, is that the best the area has to offer ( for a couple of old bu66ers like us ) without crossing the Spanish border?

Anyone towed on the A75 over the Masiff Central mountain range.

Finally plumbed in my additional ATF cooler today so ATF temps not a worry.
