Hi Stuart Camping des 4 Vents is a short drive from the rail station adjacent to Disneyland Paris. When we stayed there a few years back we travelled into central paris several times. About 45 mins by train if my memory serves me correctly. C4V is a pleasant rural campsite much favoured by...

Hi folks Sadly the hols in France are drawing to a close but we would be grateful for route and campsite recommendations for our journey home from Ile de Re to Dunkerque. We may well visit Puy Du Fou on the way home to see the day and evening shows. Thanks Tim

Hi folks As posted previously we are into our 4th week in France towing our caravan with the Sorrie Titan. Very pleased generally apart from one small problem. I have fitted Kia's own headlamp protectors and stuck on the black plastic european beam correctors as specified on marked rectangles...

Hi Smiley the computer is very useful for banking, getting info of all sorts both local and otherwise. I do my banking, etc to. Handy for email communications too. We take a laptop and look for wi-fi points. Some are chargeable but so far we have avoided paying for these. We have used a...

Hi Percy We've been through the tunnel twice. First time a puncture meant we arrived at c teatime on the first Friday of August, going south. Long delays so we went over the St Gotthard Pass. We were towing a caravan but the pass was well engineered with reasonalbe hairpins up and down and a...

Hi We had 2 very happy weeks at Camping Cavallino just up the road. All of the sites in that area are spread out alongside the road alongside the gently shelving beach to the adriatic. We alternated between Venice and recovering on the beach. If you want to read my comprehensive review its...

Hi folks After earlier discussions on ATC I thought you might like to hear how I'm getting on with it. I had it fitted to our Bailey Senator Arizona (5 series)in May. CMI came to our home at a cost of £550 - more than at the Alko HQ but cheaper when travelling and lost work time taken into...

Hi Folks I thought you might like to hear how we are getting on. I am currently sitting on pitch 82 looking out over the lake at Camping de Sologne, Sarblis. This is our second night here and I am fortunate to be in range of the wi-fi in the bar/restaurant. It is a beautiful sunny evening and...
