Vets In France.

Bonjour! 

We left it a bit late to take Daisy to the vets to get checked over etc.Its a minimum of 24h and a max of 120h before returning to the UK.After a quick look on line one wad located in Gemozac,so we swung by at 10am.There was a little wait as two people were waiting before us.The receptionist spoke English and disapeared with Daisy's passport.

After a while it was out turn and we were ushered into a room.The vet didn't speak any English ( he probably did ,but didn't let on ) ! Anyway he gave Daisy a good examination and all was good.After filling in the passport we parted with 32€ and were on our way, next door to Lidl to buy some pan chocolate for breakfast!

Here's a picture of the vets,small non descript building with a dirty sign.

Here's the details of the vets

Big Dog!

Bonjour!

A couple of days ago we spotted a man walking a massive dog round the port,so when I saw him last night I had to take his picture!

He's a giant Pyrenees and the picture doesn't really do him justice!! He was massive.

Lunch time!

Bonjour!

We decided to eat at lunch time today and stopped off at a small roadside resturant that we have eaten at previously.Its situated on the main road through St Genis De Saintonge.Most people would just drive past and not notice it,but it's very popular with the locals!

We had a menu Formula,which consisted of 4 courses and wine.the main course was fish.

Now we are parked up in the port at St Seurin as there is a feu de la musicique this evening.

Jonzac

Bonjour! 

It's still warm here in the Charente, 29* today ! We're parked up on an aire in Jonzac tonight, ready for the marche tomorrow. 

The service point is a bit further along and takes tokens.The area where we are parked has very long bays for large vans.Theres also no restriction on staying here.

There's also a new toilet,which gets cleaned every morning by two ladies.

Jonzac is quite a nice town with a marche on three days a week , selling fresh produce and usual market things.Theres even a man who will sharpen your knives!.

The biggest building of interest is the fortified Hotel De Ville building at the top of town.This also had a partial moat round it at some point.

Here is a picture of the other side.

And the Hotel De Ville building

There was also a Brocante last Sunday.

Van Spotting.

Bonjour!

Here's a couple of nice vans that I've seen in the last couple of days.Its quite difficult to spot different ones as most camping cars are coach built and all look the same!

This is a really nice T4 conversion,Inthink French and it has a really nice pop top .It looks really cool ! 

I didn't get to speak to the owner as he was in b&b when we arrived and not up when we left.

This one was in a hypermarket carpark,its a short wheelbase hightop conversion on a Fiat Ducatto,it looked to be well equipped and was driven off by an older lady,who gave us a wave.

Dog Shower!

Bonjour! 

Daisy had her first wash in the van! It was quite an easy job in the wet room with the shower head.She didn't seen to mind too much.

Croq Monsieur

Had my first Croq of the trip the other day, it was goood!
