S6 Ep3 Motorhome France - Chateaudun, Chevanceaux and Bidart

This week we carry on our tour heading south through France. We leave the tranquil campinc car park of Chateaudun in the Eure-et -Loir in Northern France traveling along the N10 avoiding toll roads wherever possible.
The weather was hot but the skies were a pasty white. We managed to drive down to a small town called Chevanceaux in the Charente-Maritime department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in southwestern France. We found a municipal campsite which thankfully had trees to park under to shade us from the hot sun.
From Chevanceaux we continued heading passed Bordeaux to stay at Ondres where we have previously stayed. We love the big open spanse of the beach and the dogs are allowed to run free.
Please see our other video on Ondres in Landes Department of Nouvelle-Aquitine.
We had hoped to make Spain for our next stop but unfortunately the sites were full so we found solace in a lovely town called Bidart.
The weather here was one of the hottest we have experiences whilst traveling in our motorhome. So it was up early to walk the dogs before it got too hot and the rest of the day was spent chilling by the pool and motorhome. The thunderstorm on the last night was probably one of the loudest we have experienced.
But it was soon time to move and head into Spain as we were trying to race and beat the cycle tour that was due in Northern Spain within the next few days.
Keep following us as we head down through France into Northern Spain and Portugal.

Hi, great video. France is kind to motorhomes. (The tolls aren’t) we tried to avoid them as much as possibl. Great video. We enjoyed it

Unfortunately sometimes when you’re in a ‘race’ some tolls are unavoidable. We normally like to chill but …

We like the N10. Cheap fuel just off the N10 near Vivonne.

Cheap fuel in France is always good to know about
