Tonight we are in one of our favorite campsites in France, the winery at Chateau Marquis de Vauban gives you the opportunity to park in the vineyard. We have been here three times and each time we stay here it makes us appreciate the choice we made to tour Europe by motorhome.

Last night we were looking for a place to camp about 300 kilometers south of Tours, and when I did the check Blaye came up as the best option. We visited the Chateau Marquis de Vauban winery on our very first trip to France before we purchased François. We also visited it a couple years ago when we were heading to Portugal. We were thrilled that we would get to visit again.

Every time we stop here we have a splendid time just chilling and drinking good wine. The owners make you feel very welcome, and each time we have met nice people who are sharing the campground. Sometimes we park in industrial parks, and under freeways, but then a magical place like this comes along and we are filled with contentment.

Tomorrow we are going to stay at another old favorite in Orio Spain.
