Geo: 43.1252, 5.93111 GÜN35,GÜNLERDEN CUMA: Bu sabah yağmur var Hyeres'te… Ayşe'ciğim ,bugün beni salmaya karar verdi. Kendisi kampta kalarak ,dinlenmek istediğini bildirdi.. Ben, Ayşe ‘nin konforunu temin ettikten sonra Toulon'a gitmek üzere yola çıktım. O ne trafik öyle ? Kardeşim milim milim ilerleyerek 22 km yol yaptım ve Toulon'a vardım..

Wednesday May 4th, 2011 Toulon, France Provence is one of the oldest regions in France and has been continuously occupied for over 2000 years. First the Greeks, then the Romans found it to be a wonderful place to live. We have been anxiously awaiting our arrival here ever since we left Fort Lauderdale. Jane and I both devoured Peter Mayle’s book, “A Year in Provence”, where he intones the bountiful merits of this fabled region. I would have to say that the hype was not overstated and we are completely enthralled with the people, the wine and the whole beautiful package. We drove up into the hills above our Port of Toulon berth to the tiny medieval hill town of Le Castellet. Narrow winding streets filled with fragrant cafes and treasure-filled shops greeted us. The place ... read more

After our stint is Paris we headed straight for Lyon, a smaller city of about 400 000 (I'm not checking any of my facts, so they're probably wrong). The train to Lyon only takes 2 hours, and train travel is something I've grown very fond of. The TGVs (train de grand vitesse, which pretty much means very fast train (that's a lazy name)) go at about 3-400kmph, so that's a fair distance. Lyon was a nice change from Paris, much more quiet, and a little less touristy. The town is trisected by two rivers, which then meet forming a kind of wishbone in the city. The buildings have the same flat, white, windowed facades that we liked in Paris and London, as well as terracotta tiled roofs. We only had one full day in Lyon, so ... read more

Motorhome News from Europe 15. France January 2005 Adios Spain, Bonjour France! Beyond the Orange Blossom Coast we camped for one night on the Ebro Delta; a dire site with electrics to make your hair stand on end and facilities to match, but we were here for the birding along the salt marshes and the beautiful beaches looking out towards the east. We saw no new birds, but the real excitement was a regimented line of over 100 herons sunning themselves along the bank like white ten-pins, five marsh harriers in the air at one time, and red breasted pochard yet again. We sneaked into Tarragona for a look and drove both ways along the Ramblas but found nowhere to park - well, it was Saturday. With our sights set on reaching Sitges on the coast, ... read more
