Instead of hearing Italian or French, the overwhelming language being spoken was English, with many different accents. A retired fella sat in one of the bars wearing a santa hat, a string of tinsel around his neck and a face that showed he really didn&#8217;t want to be there.

The stall doing the best trade, apart from those selling drink, was an ordering service for English foods. At \u20ac5 for a jar of marmite and \u20ac2.60 for a box of Paxo it was still cheaper than the English aisle in the supermarket and with a better range.

Jay read while I sewed up holes in some of our clothes &#8211; they&#8217;ll last a few more months now. Then as the sun set our silver screens went on to insulate the windscreen from the inevitable frost that the clear skies would bring. Snuggled up inside Zagan we fired up the TV and watched the latest episode of Planet Earth 2 before hitting the sack.<\/p>\n<p>This morning the results were in and the favourite, Fran\u00e7ois Fillon, won the primary elections. If he wins the elections next year then France will have a Welsh first lady. His wife Penelope Clarke was born in Llanover and this topic was widely discussed on the English speaking French channels we get on our TV.<\/p>\n<p>We were on the road before 10am as we had a big driving day (for us) ahead, with a four and a half hour run to Capbreton in the French Basque region. Just south of Bordeaux we popped into a Commercial Centre and picked up a bike cover and some bungy cords. We&#8217;ll need those to hold our red and white striped warning sign on the bike rack, as we legally need it in Spain.<\/p>\n<p>After a couple of detours to avoid the new toll booths on the otherwise free N10 (just after J18 and J12 when heading south), we arrived in Capbreton just before 4pm. It&#8217;s much quieter than it was when we were here last year, but then the aire was open so you had to pay to stay and for your money got a service point and electricity. Now it is simply a large car park by the beach. Perfect for a couple of days of chilling out. The bikes have been off the rack and cleaned, tomorrow we&#8217;ll attempt to adapt the bike cover so it fits &#8211; seems it wasn&#8217;t made for bikes on a rack!<\/p>\n<p>Ju x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zagan the motorhome is having a well deserved rest for the next couple of nights at one of our favourite aires in France, at Capbreton (N43.63671, W1.44721) on the French Atlantic coast.
