Our French adventure continues & we never know what tomorrow may bring!?….OOhh la la! C’est magnifique!……
We have found ourselves in this splendiferous, majestic, unrivalled swimming pool & in front of a charming chateau/fort no less!! I’m in heaven!
More of that later but first we head to Avignon…..
During our visit to Nice we think it would be fun to do a walking tour. Our English guide, Christian, is wonderful & makes the tour enjoyable with his easy nature & interesting information about Nice.
Yes, it’s all a buzz here with excitement, in anticipation of stage 20 of The Tour de France coming to Nice! The atmosphere is fantastic as we wander the streets, enjoying the city of Nice.
The last stage 21, is a time trial & begins in Monaco, ending in Nice.
Last year we decided we would include some TDF (Tour De France) stages/mayhem into our 2024 European adventure. Mark booked us in at a camping park in February, knowing it would be difficult to get a site during this time. So, here we are in welcoming Campimg de la Laune, a small, friendly, rustic but well maintained campground. 
Driving eastward again, we’re now in the amazing Camargue region, in the gorgeous village of Saintes Maries de la Mer. This place is truly amazing with its nature & so culturally interesting also.
We even notice all these wild, white horses in the wetlands on our way to the village.
We say “adios” to spectacular Spain & “bonjour” to France as Bruce escorts us across the border(no real border these days) into fantastic France.
Let’s go on a day coach tour from Palma, in the south, to the northern tip of Mallorca!
Being driven on a coach tour is definitely a novelty for us! It’s particularly enjoyable for Mark, who can now relax & take in the scenery. The beaches here boast soft, white sand & clear, warm water!

Excitedly, we pack small overnight bags & grab a taxi to Valencia airport, only 15 minutes away!
Bruce is more than content to rest up for a while at the camping park, whilst we escape to the island of Mallorca for 5 nights…….to celebrate my birthday!! 🥳 Yippee!
Just over halfway up the east coast of Spain is the famous city of Valencia. Let’s pop in there! It’s the 3rd largest city in Spain 🇪🇸 with a population of 840,000 .
Hola everyone, we’re back again!
The landscape is really dramatic as we continue up the east coast of Spain. Fortunately, Bruce doesn’t mind a tunnel or two!
