Nous avons de la chance in Villers Sur Mer

October 14, 2011/8 Comments/in Blog, France

Happy days! Ju spoke with some veteran Brit motorhomers at our last aire who told us of a big Hymer dealer near Honfleur. We tracked it down via t’Internet, got there at 4pm (on a Friday no less) and by 6pm, having used every French word we knew and hammered the pre-pay credit card, the fridge and skylight are fixed.

The bloke who fixed it said the skylights are €800 new but he’d installed a used on (I could have kissed him), and that the fridge burner was 10 years old, and should have been replaced 6 years ago. The latter point made me quite happy as it meant my 3 attempts to fix it were all doomed.

We’re in an aire in Villers Sur Mer and are staying a couple of days to relax and celebrate our fully functioning van!

    Take time for an evening sitting with Stella on the sunny side of Honfleur harbour if you get the chance – it’s a dream…
