Travelled : 208 Miles
Visited : Transit
Stay : Port-en-Bessin Huppain, free Aire adjacent supermarket with services
We slept well in our first free aire (camper car stop) this trip. After a morning walk we buy some prawns and a baguette from the nearby vendors. Breakfast and a day of long driving begins.
The French motorways are quite an experience. Always 2-3 lane mostly with a 130 kph limit. Everyone keeps to the right if not passing. The trucks are limited to 90 kph and actually obey the limit. The Hymer happily trundles along at 100 kph. However the national highways are linked by long sections of tollway. Including the tolls on the double bridge over the Seine our toll bill for the day is almost €40.
Port-en-Bessin-Huppain, Normandie, France
We arrive at Port-en-Bessin mid afternoon and find the aire and our spot easily. The late afternoon is a bike ride around the village. We dine in, rose, beer and prawns.
