Hi
I'm going on a trail riding trip to the Lot region in France at the end of April. We are catching the Portsmouth Caen ferry. Rough plan is…
Get off Boat at Caen, motorway (yawn) down to Le Mans, towards Angers, then stop the night around Saumur.
Next day – go from Saumur, through Poitiers and then onto Oradour-sur-Glane for a look around. Then head down to the Nontron / Brantome area to spend the night.
Next day – head off towards Sarlat and to our destination which isn’t far east of Sarlat.
I have been to this region once or twice before (in the car) so I know what a lot of the places are like.
What I'm really looking for though is info on campsites…are they open at the end of April?general prace? (or any wild camp spots?)
Any cheap biker friendly B&Bs?
Might stay in the travel lodge at Portsmouth the night before we sail, any one know is its poss to get your bike near the door (I'll only have a disc lock)
Any info really
Cheers guys
