Caravan

With the journey.  We had a couple of weeks in Prairie de la Mer at Port Grimaud last year, is your van from there?There seem to be quite a few of us from the northwest on this forum.. having suffered from the north south divide weatherwise in UK this summer there will probably be more before the year is out!

mmm interesting..... do you know if a log cabin can be classed as a mobile home out here? I think you can get away with it in England.  I somehow doubt it as we're even feeling nervous about building a hidden treehouse.Your mention a base for your mobile home - presumably this would be a flat gravelled patch with anti-weed mat underneath? Our forestale get quite antsy about cast concrete which is why we don't put solar panels on them any more.

Know the site, friends stayed there years ago.....  took about an hour and a bit as we flew Marseilles to Manchester!  We have driven it in the past, kids from school in the afternoon, down to the Channel by evening, across and setting out late... on the beach by late morning, that is driving non stop through the night, probably about 12 hours?  We now fly...   have tried the train that you strap the car onto, hideously expensive and a lot of messing about at Calais.  My brother now has a house in Le Garde Freinet and we are pondering on driving or flying... if we drive (and I'm going) there will be a couple of night stops...
