We have just had the driest 17 days in France we can think of in the last 10 visits.
I don't know how we managed it - I know there was a lot of rain about but we always seemed to be where it was not.
We expect 3 days out of 17 when rain is an inconvenience as an average but this year only 1 day was 'spoiled' by rain.
Shame it was so cool but reading the other posts it seems we have very very little to complain about - except work tomorrow

We arrived in ther Dordogne on the 16thAugust and we had two nice days, then we had heavy rain fro 4/5 days then a few cloudy days then 3 mega hot days. The day we packed up we had a thunder storm. Drove to the Loire for a night stop over and although it was dry thought it was cold.

It was a weird weather year - French papers seemed to be treating the summer as a national tragedy. I drove past the Dordogne for a week on the coast and heard about the rain on my return but in our week on the river there was only one day I found disappointing. I am feeling smugly lucky.
I'd be feeling even smugger and luckier if I was there now though - the summer sun seems to have settled in and the prices are so cheap.

We stayed near Royan for the first 2 weeks in August and had warm sunshine the whole time, although we did have a couple of wet mornings but by lunchtime the sun had come out.

I'm a believer in the Royan micro climate - best place for sun on the west coast IMO

We were also very lucky with the weather in May and came back with a fantastic tan - mainly because we didn't travel far from the site because of car problems. We were due to go back again a week last Friday, and had to postpone our trip, but now re-arranged for Friday this week. Just hoping the good weather continues - and taking another fleece, and a hottie for the cooler nights!

It was great. Arrived 3 hrs early for the mobilehome but that was 'no problem', kids disappeared unless they were hungry or skint. Despite its size the atmosphere was relaxed on site and the area has loads to do. Noise from Luna park was intrusive but not overly so in a lively holiday area. Kids have demanded a return and we are happy to oblige - 1st rule of holiday is parents will only have a good time where kids havce a good time - nobody gets a good time if the teenagers are grumpy.

We enjoy a contrast, a bit of noise in some circumstances makes the place sound alive and the Argeles area is certainly a lively area. Our second week is our quite week on the Dordogne where, away from the immediate area of the bar, you can hear if a moth bumps into a leaf at night and( outside Sarlat) in the day 5 cars is a jam.

We were really lucky too. We were just outside Paris from 26 Aug to 02 Sept and did not have one drop of rain fall!
