We had enjoyed our stay at Flower Camping La Beaume near Esparron -de-Verdon for 9 nights but it was closing for the year so we had to move on. We decided to move westward to Beziers .
Our Camping Card had been given to another camper by mistake when we were at La Neptune recently, but had now been returned. We decided to return there for one night to pick up the card before heading west towards Spain. So yesterday we made the short trip back there and set up for the night.
Today we set off around 10:30 heading westward to Beziers, staying at Camping Les Peupliers in Colombiers in the Hérault region of France.
Towing Kilometres – Today: 328 – Cumulative: 4,478
The village is on the Canal du Midi. We chose to pay a toll and used the autoroute to travel the 200km. We were delayed for about 30 minutes due to an incident, but made the campground, fortunately, in good time. We were greeted by a very pleasant receptionist. We chose our pitch and setup with the intention of staying 4 or 5 nights. Within two hours the site was almost full with arriving motorhomes who appear to use the site as a stopover.
We intend to use this site as a base to visit Béziers, Carcassonne and Canal du Midi before moving south to find warmer weather.
