| Bignac to Villdomer - 151 miles |
Our bodyclocks haven't
quite caught up with the change to summer time so we were a bit later
surfacing than perhaps we'd wanted. Doesn't matter it's a bright
sunny day again although quite cold overnight. Usual chores out of
the way and we headed back to the N10, or D910 as it is here now, en
route for Poitiers and Tours. We prefer this type of road; it's quite
fast even though it passes through various small towns and villages,
which makes it more interesting and really is not much slower than we
would be travelling anyway.
A nice steady cruise
then to Poitiers where we stopped at an Auchan at Futurescope, just
north of the city, for a bit of shopping, lunch and refill with LPG.
We were going to refuel but it wasn't really needed just yet and
would have involved us going round the carpark again to get back into
the fuel station, so we didn't bother.

Mid-afternoon, still
enjoying a pleasant ride in the sunshine, we checked our progress and
saw that Tours was a good point to end our travelling day so Bren
found an aire just north that seemed okay. Put it into the satnav and
found Villedomer just off the main road and a very nice little aire
almost in the village with all facilities, including free electric if
we needed it. Unusually it also had two electric vehicle recharging
points.
We joined one Brit van
and later a French van came in too – it's supposed to hold 15
vehicles but no chance the way some people park........... Never
mind, we're tucked into a corner out of the way. An explore later
discovered a small supermarket 50m away and a typical French country
village, complete with chiming church clock. This'll do us nicely for
one night.
