Parts of our rolling homes seem to endlessly snap, smash, fling themselves to the floor, refuse to work, refuse to stop working or discolour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not their fault, they&#8217;re just showing their displeasure with the hammering they were never really designed to take. A chap wrote to me a few weeks back, fed up with the fact a small but important plastic part of his van had broken. I&#8217;m sorry to say I wasn&#8217;t as sympathetic as I should have been. Stuff breaks on these things. No matter how much you&#8217;ve spaffed out on second hand or even a new shiny van, you&#8217;ll still be faced with endlessly busted bits and bobs. Pack glue and gaffa tape folks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve always got a list of stuff that needs fixing, with varying degrees of urgency. At the moment it reads like this, all low-urgency:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>a broken freezer door hinge, <\/li><li>a sheered-off drain down valve, <\/li><li>a replacement carbon filter for the SOG unit, <\/li><li>a new magic bit to make the fridge easier to light,<\/li><li>a snapped window blind catch,<\/li><li>replacement grey plastic window lock sliders. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Many moons ago we came across a French specialist motorhome parts shop called Narbonne Accessories. We happened to be in Narbonne at the time, in the south-west of France, but they&#8217;ve shops all over the country. Having spotted one on the outskirts of Quimper, we eyeballed their catalogue and it appeared they at least had the SOG unit filter if not the other bits, so over we headed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_104608840_HDR.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"475\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_104608840_HDR-1030x475.jpg\" alt=\"A Narbonne Accessories Motorhome Parts Shop in Quimper, Brittany, France\" class=\"wp-image-43662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_104608840_HDR-1030x475.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_104608840_HDR-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_104608840_HDR-768x354.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_104608840_HDR-1536x708.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_104608840_HDR-1500x692.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_104608840_HDR-705x325.jpg 705w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_104608840_HDR.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>A Narbonne Accessories Motorhome Parts Shop in Quimper, Brittany, France<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We were a tad too optimistic and unprepared and, if I&#8217;m honest, tight. Their catalogue (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.narbonneaccessoires.fr\/catalogue-narbonne-accessoires\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">which you can view online here<\/a>) lists out much more stuff than they have in the shops. They didn&#8217;t have the SOG filter, or any of the other SOG unit parts. They don&#8217;t do motorhome-specific stuff like the plastic window sliding lock bit we need (figures, they&#8217;d need an enormous warehouse of stuff which few people need). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They did have what looked to be the correct hinge, and the fridge switch thing which I think we need, but we weren&#8217;t convinced they were the right parts, and we were pretty sure we&#8217;d get &#8217;em cheaper online at home. So in the end we just looked around and geeked out on all the Lithium batteries, battery to battery chargers, reversing cameras, air suspension and electric bikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

in Brittany, and one came just as we legged it across the car park to Zagan. Under heavy skies and occasionally half-blinded by the bucketing rain, we drove across the free dual carriageways to Concarneau. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the way we passed a Total Energies fuel station with all the prices blanked out and all lanes coned off. Not thinking much of it, Ju later spotted the fact they&#8217;ve knocked 20c a litre off their fuel (as a way to give back some of their recent profits, they say), on top of the 30c the government has knocked off at the moment. With almost 45p a litre reduction, they&#8217;re proving popular (!) and we&#8217;ve since passed another couple of sold-out Total Energies stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Concarneau was another recommendation through the blog &#8211; thanks again to whoever sent it! Brittany&#8217;s 2000km of coastline has so many places to visit we could be at it for months. Having pointers for places to go is reducing our mental overhead when staring at the map and guidebooks. That said, I think we ended up staying somewhere a little distance away from the recommended spot, ending up in a \u20ac6-a-night aire a stone&#8217;s throw from the sea at Pontic (<a href=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=loc:47.86337,-3.905562\">N47.86337, W3.905562<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_191437202_HDR-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"475\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_191437202_HDR-1030x475.jpg\" alt=\"The motorhome aire at Pontic near Concarneau in Brittany, France\" class=\"wp-image-43673\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_191437202_HDR-1030x475.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_191437202_HDR-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_191437202_HDR-768x354.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_191437202_HDR-1536x709.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_191437202_HDR-2048x945.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_191437202_HDR-1500x692.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_191437202_HDR-705x325.jpg 705w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_191437202_HDR-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The motorhome aire at Pontic near Concarneau in Brittany, France. A small wood, the sea and a beach are just behind the vans on the left.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The aire again proved popular, overfilled with 20+ motorhomes and campervans. What&#8217;s going on? We&#8217;re well into September now and the <em>rentr\u00e9e<\/em> (back to school) is over, so there <em>should <\/em>be far fewer vans knocking about. Nope, not what we&#8217;re seeing anyway. The stats back this all up. According to the European Caravan Federation, this is what has happened with motorhome registrations across Europe (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.e-c-f.com\/artikel\/registration-figures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">source article here<\/a>): <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;The motor caravan segment was again extraordinarily successful in 2020, growing by a strong 20.1 percent \u2013 despite or because of Corona \u2013 and reaching a new high. 159,082 new registrations mark the fifth record year in a row and represent a doubling of 2010.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>So, there are a ton more vans out on the road and they&#8217;ve been seriously cranking up year-on-year for half a decade. We can&#8217;t complain, we&#8217;ve written <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3x2r4oG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a range of guidebooks<\/a> to encourage folks to travel in a motorhome. And even though the French overnight stay network is busy in August and September, we&#8217;ve always found a space in our first-choice location. We&#8217;re picking places which will be attractive too, for being low-cost and\/or well-located, so it&#8217;s not saturated by a long shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back to Concarneau, or the much more fun <em>Konk-Kerne<\/em> in Breton. The aire is set alongside a small wood, and the GR34 coastal path. About a mile walk along the granite rocks fading into the sea brings you to an electric boat ferry. It proved my favourite part of our visit, big kid that I am. The small, silent and modern craft shuttles back and forth across a narrow stretch of sea to a high-walled town set on what used to be an island. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_184355714_HDR2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"475\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_184355714_HDR2-1030x475.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_184355714_HDR2-1030x475.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_184355714_HDR2-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_184355714_HDR2-768x354.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_184355714_HDR2-1536x708.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_184355714_HDR2-1500x692.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_184355714_HDR2-705x325.jpg 705w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_20220906_184355714_HDR2.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The ferry across to Concarneau.

Places like this, which have long lost their original purpose, have often surrended themselves to the shopping demands of bored tourists. Serious amounts of weird stuff gets made and shipped from China and flogged to us tourists as souvenirs. Eventually, having sat gathering dust for a few decades, it ends up in charity shops or landfill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully Concarneau has resisted this urge, and the shops (on the whole) were flogging good quality, usable stuff, like those blue-striped tops and bright yellow waterproofs which seem to serve as a Breton uniform. Either that, or stuff you can eat, like chocolate, biscuits, fish soup or sardines, all Breton-themed and nicely packaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DSC09011-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"610\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DSC09011-1030x610.jpg\" alt=\"A chocolate lion\" class=\"wp-image-43678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DSC09011-1030x610.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DSC09011-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DSC09011-768x455.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DSC09011-1536x909.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DSC09011-2048x1212.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DSC09011-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Yep, that&#8217;s a lion made from chocolate and of course you could buy yourself a mini version<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DSC09010-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"584\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DSC09010-1030x584.jpg\" alt=\"Breton salty caramel spread.
