Still going again, worst weather we have had in fifteen years this year, but we have booked again for next year, back to the Vendee for four weeks in June.

Go  for it, it still beats the UK no matter what the weather,

We had the firdt few days wet, end of August, we headed to verdun as there were things to see and do. The weather got better so we stayed!

Planning to go to France next year -not sure when yet .

 We  are also considering a cruise or a return visit to Canada, possibly hiring a campervan there.

Certainly has.

Ditched the tent and ordered a caravan!

We did likewise on our return in June, had wall to wall rain, and thought oh no not more soggy canvas and are now owners of a Sterling Windward.

Bad Weather???

We spent nearly 12 weeks in the South West of France and apart from a handful of odd days when it was overcast and one 5 day spell of showers (it was still 23 degrees) we certainly had a good summer. If you had had the weather we had from June to September in France and had transported it to the UK you would have thought it was a great UK summer. Plenty of days in high 20's, a couple of weeks hovering around low 30's but as an average I would say 25-28 degrees was pretty good.

Put it this way, we left the Uk at the end of June and I didn't wear trousers again until middle of September (when we returned)...

How many of us did that in the UK??

We're back to Charente region again 2008 but unfortunately next year it will only be for 3 weeks and not 3 months but I'm sure we will be satisfied with the weather...

It was said to be the worst summer in France for the past 10 years but as I said, if we had that summer in the UK for 2007 everybody would have been saying what a great summer it was...
