Chezzy, We were in 'Argeles Sur Mer' last year, really nice place, weather was superb, beaches are good, good restaurants, the A75 free motorway is superb, especially the bridge at 'Millau', I'm sure you will enjoy it.

We have had some really bad downpours but some strong sun too. It's manageable at the moment but I'm glad I brought a range of clothes!

Thanks, my husband travelled that way on his motorbike afew years back and he wanted me to see it aswell but were going the millau way on the way back and were going down to limoges on the way down and stopping a couple of nights with friends so we get to see different routes. Ive heard people say argeles sur mer is tacky but were just going with an open mindand im sure we will love it

Any idea how it's looking for Saumur next week? Accuweather looks distinctly autumnal :(

We go in a couple of weeks, I shall decide exactly where by looking at the forecast the day before we leave. This will be our 4th trip to France since July 2013 and I have to say I am fed up with sitting in the MH with a damp dog, listening to the rain on the roof.

We set off 2 weeks today badger54 and although I have umpteen sites in different areas to choose from because of the very changeable weather will not decide on our 1st stopover until the day before we leave, so heres hoping for good weather everywhere in France from 29th August. J xx and good weather for all those of you there at the moment.

Like Julie and Paul, we won't decide - but this time not until we actually pick up the caravan in mid-France. Thereafter we may head north, south, east or west, or even go right down into Spain, and even southern Spain if that's the only place with sunshine.

Sounds good, although tent camping, and a 10 day window not quite as flexible. Last minute seems to be the way forward.

Weather in Millau is poor. I'm sat with a fleece on it so cold, have been a few heavy storms and floods on site. Weather forecast is hit and miss. Worst weather in 11 years for my trips to France. Better than work though

I can hardly believe my eyes when looking at the forecast for tomorrow afternoon

14C on the Dordogne

I'll be interested to see if that comes true

We have stuck it out but it's been a bit of a struggle at times, it's always rained at night and sometimes in the day too. Temperatures very variable, ranging from 30 early in week to 16 yesterday. I think it's just been an exceptional period.
