If fuel is € 1.16 that is better than £1.18 or more here!!!

The exchange rate is improving a little at the moment lets hope it continues. We are off mid June. Using ACSI card so max for a site should be €15.

One tip

If the campsite has a supermarket its generally cheaper to buy a 4/6-pack of icecreams and throw away the ones that melt than to buy a couple of icecreams at the bar!

Hi

We have just got back from France staying in the Lot and Garonne near Marmonde and also a few days near Bezier near the Med. Used my Nationwide credit card for most purchases and was getting between 1.15 and 1.17 euros to the pound with no conversion charge. Diesel ranged between 1.11 euros to 1.18 at supermarkets and up to 1.29 on motorways. We bought most of our wine at Geant and paid between 2 and 3.5 euros for their very good Club de Somelier range. Eating out we were able to find three course meals for 13 euros at lunchtime sometimes with wine included. We did eat out a few evenings and found some restaurents where you could get a very good 3 course meal for about 23 euros.

We stayed at Chateau L'Eperviere at Gigny sur Soane in Burgundy last year and the campsite had lots of local cycle trail maps in reception. Not being cyclists I didn't look too closely but our neighbours on the campsite bought some and said they were really good. 

Where are you planning on staying?
