Our journey out of Annecy is slow – and now the cloud has gone, very hot. There are a couple of small towns on the map in-between Annecy and Albertville
that we hope will prove suitable for a stopover. Initially we follow the lake.
It’s just so pretty. Every part of spare grass has someone on it though– beautiful
as it is I’m glad we are leaving. We both agree we need to come back to see
this place at a quieter time (if there is one).
Eventually we stumble on Faverges, which has a camping car area.
Despite the fact this place is tiny (think small English Town) the facilities
are bigger and better than those in Annecy – go figure! Despite this
consideration towards camping cars, in typical French style, they also throw in
a little something to really sabotage the unsuspecting Brit. In this case it is
oversized speed bumps; these things need a 4x4 or, better yet, a monster truck.
Attempt one resulted in Moo nearly getting taken out by a cast iron pan that
was heaved out of the cupboard by the impact. Not safe, you have been warned! We’re
both knackered and hot so an early night is on the cards. The weather is cloudy
and close, no air at all. A few glasses of wine and collapso occurs.
