Les Mures, 15th - 19th April 2018

Sunday, 15th April 2018

Sunny and 20C, hopefully, this is going to last.

A cycle ride to Port Grimaud, for a very pleasant lunch.

Monday, 16th April 2018

Another sunny day and 22C.

Everything looks so much better, when the sun is shining!

We cycle to St Maxime, and have one final attempt to find the St Maxime Lidl, but, without success.

A snack and a couple of drinks sitting by the Marina, followed by cycling back to Les Mures, gives us eleven miles of cycling.

Lazing in the sun for the rest of the day.

We met a couple in an Autotrail, from County Durham, who are also staying on Les Mures, they call around in the evening, they are leaving to morrow and heading West, toward the Camargue.

Tuesday, 17th April 2018

Another sunny day, 22C.

We cycle to St Tropez, (about 6 miles away), and have a wander through the streets away from the crowds around the harbour / marina.

A visit to the church, as always.

Then we have what I think is the most expensive drink I have ever had, in a bar overlooking the moored boats, a beer and a panache (Shandy), medium (50cl), 38Euro! that is roughly £35! 

Kathleen goes to the toilet, three times, just to get her (well my) monies worth.

Don't think we will be going back to that bar!

In the afternoon, we laze in the sun.

New neighbours arrive. Four elderly Italian ladies in a Motorhome, and a young German couple with a small child, in a VW campervan.

The site is becoming more busy.

Wednesday, 18th April 2018

Sunny, blue sky and 22C.

Although we have cycled to Coglin, and, we have cycled past the signs for Port Coglin, as we make our way to St Tropez, we have not, as far as I recall, ever actually been into the Marina area of Port Coglin.

We rectify that omission today, as part of our morning ten mile cycle ride.

What a pleasant surprise!

It is much more "upmarket" than Port Grimuad, and much quieter that St Tropez, very nice indeed.

Thursday, 19th April 2018

A bright sunny morning, as we leave Les Mures and drive the just over 200 miles to
Tain-l'Hermitage, Municipal les Lacs (N45 4' 0' E4 51'6"), an ASCI site where we stayed on our way south, about three weeks ago.

What a difference in the weather, in only three weeks. Last time we were here, the temperature was 10C, today, when we arrive, late afternoon, it is a roasting 28C !

The site is just about full, which we did not expect.
