August Expedition. France Guines near Calais.

 This year we have decided to do a little French Tour as a shorter alternative to our planned Greek trip. 

An easy drive to Folkstone found us boarding Le Shuttle on a beautifully hot day.

The camp site we were aiming for was Bien Assise just outside Calais. Not a site we would normally stay on but we were meeting our son and family for a couple of days. At 50.40E a night, slightly more expensive than the last time we stayed. We had last been here around 30 years ago, surprisingly not many changes. The same swimming pool, bar and toilet block. 

Restaurant here. 

The site was more spaced out with huge pitches and very well kept grounds. Far fewer caravans around than the last time we were here.

Our son had a deluxe pitch, for an extra 10E a night he got a shed, BBQ, picnic table and benches with onsite drainage. Must be a family, genetic thing, he has a converted van and a tent for the kids.

We slummed it in the cheaper seats!!

We had a little wander into town, nothing much had changed, a lot of the small shops had closed although a new Aldi and Lidl have opened. 

The French are so imaginative about their roundabouts.

Lots of happiness with the weather though, well into the 20C with a slight breeze so quite comfortable. Meal out tonight and moving on demain!! ( tomorrow)
