France & Spain October 2025 - October 20th

With the plan to to Donzenac aborted yesterday and us ending up on the CCP site at Saint-Léon sur Vézere, it meant that we needed to rethink today and the rest of the week's journey and overnighting spots.

We set off around 1020 today. We were originally heading up the A20/N20 to another CCP site at Thénioux near Orleans.

What should have been a simple run eastward to Brive became another C roads funathon. 

Once we finally got onto the A20 after a little of the A89 we discussed options. By the time we stopped at the Area Porte de Corrèze services we had decided to abort Thénioux and get somewhere not as far away.

Checking the road map and CCP app we hit on the aire at Oradour sur Glane. It's a popular aire as it's not too far from the "village martyr".

We went there some years ago. It's a very sobering experience. Oradour-sur-Glane Memory Center | Limousin – New Horizons https://share.google/Ny8nRf3gYi1c5HH6I

By the time we had setup it started to rain. The village isn't dog friendly as it's a memorial. It's 15 minutes to walk but not in the rain!

Maybe tomorrow on our way out.

The re-think means that the Tuesday overnight has to chsnge. Instead of the champagne aire near Epernay, we will now keep going roughly north to the Loire Valley and another CCP aire at Veuzain sur Loire.

It's only around 125 miles so we might get a chance to pop into a chateau or two...
