Friday 13th to Sunday 15th June Toulouse to Chez Gendron

Today dawns and another scorcher is on the way, despite being gone by about 7.30am the air is already hot and laden with the promise of extreme heat to come. Zoom! As is sometimes the way the aires we had picked out were rubbish so we sail on past and just keep on trucking. It’s no great shakes as the more miles today means hopefully more time to doss around on the Brittany coast with a bit of time in hand. 
We resort to scouting out some French passions but it’s one of those days when life just doesn’t want you to stop. Everyone seems to be enjoying national rude day and we decide to head back to somewhere we’ve been before. It is against our rules in that it’s a campsite, but when we stayed here last time it was so beautiful and so cheap that we decide to treat ourselves. After the journey we’ve had today the thought of jumping in a pool and supping a few in the campsite bar is just too tempting. Hello Chez Gendron.

Alexander and Aletta, the wonderful young Dutch couple who run this place are still here and still doing a fabulous job. We park up and get set up in record time, despite interference from a couple of the geese who wander over to say hello. We take the dogs for a good stretch in the woods and Norm sees his first ponies and horses up close and personal for the first time (cue MAJOR barking), but after a long tramp through some vineyards everyone has calmed down. They collapse and we reward ourselves with a few beers and an early night.

We decide to allow ourselves another night here, the weather is still too fabulous and we are in urgent need of being in the pool… a lot. It’s impossibly quiet here, the only disturbances being the incredulous woops of delight as the Netherlands paste the opposition in the footie and the occasional bit of Radio Le Mans, we couldn’t’ really be more relaxed, once again thank you Chez Gendron, we hope Helios gets better soon, best of luck J
