We moved on today to Flower Camping La Beaume, near the beautiful village of Esparron-de-Verdon. The village is located in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region. This was to be our base for visiting the Verdon Gorges.
Towing Kilometres – Today: 130 – Cumulative: 4,150
In an effort to make the transfer as calm as possible, I invested in a GPS app for iPhone, CoPilot. This enables you to enter the dimensions and weight of your caravan and it purports to keep you away from caravan unfriendly places. By & large, for this 115km move, it worked. No silences, no Scrabble defeat!
Only thing to note about the drive, apart from the mountains starting to appear on the horizon, was this amazing avenue of mature trees shot on Kim’s phone through the windscreen.
On arrival at the site, down a very steep slope, we were met by the enthusiastic and friendly owner who directed us to our pitch.
He showed us the facilities and wonderful pool and although he doesn’t speak any English he made us feel more than welcome.
The facilities on site are acceptable and clean and I think this will be a very comfortable place to stay while we investigate the Verdon Gorges. 🙂
