We walked in to town as we had read about the flea market taking place but we were not prepared for the scale of it.The main roads through the town had been closed off for the day and there were well over 150 stalls selling anything and everything you possibly not want. From food to postcards and car bits and pieces there was so much stuff you could not believe it.
There were quite a lot of local people and only a few tourists and it was very much a local affair.
With all the roads closed I am not sure how the traffic fared as the roads were covered in cars with very few, if any, gendarmes to control the event.
We had a relaxing afternoon and later in the evening David and Marjorie from Alan Rogers Ltd came to join us for a glass of wine as they are departing back to the UK tomorrow after three months here. It would appear that over the years they had also travelled a lot in America as well as Europe and so we had lots to to talk about. The Alan Rogers French Camp book currently has 600 reviewed sites and this will increase to around 900 for 2007 book. Actually the amount of sites that you see just driving around is incredible however there some pretty rought ones as well.
David told us about one site they went to review where it flooded several times each year up to about five feet and the showers were build at the wrong angle so that the water ran out under the door on to the ground instead of going down the plug hole- this site does not appear in the book. There were several other stories about sites they commented on and it was quite an interesting evening.
