Anse, near Lyon

It's been a long time finding somewhere with internet access, but this morning at a very nice campsite we've found it! One big problem is the French keyboard which makes it very slow for a Brit touch-typist! We loved the comments from Graham and Doreen - we are having a great time but it is NOT warm! We have stayed 2 nights on campsites and 3 on FREE aires. The first of those was by Lac d'Orient and Thursday beside a Voie Verte, an old railway track now for cycling with a station car park for camping. The Restaurant de la Gare was excellent. Shame we woke to rain yesterday for our visit to Taizé. First time we've been in cold weather, but the spirit was just as warm. A very friendly young German girl welcomed us and showed us a video about Easter at Taizé, we joined thousands for the lunch-time Prayers - beautiful singing - and we decided to leave while the youngsters queued for their lunch in the pouring rain. It didn't stop all day. We continued south in the hope of some sun and today it is trying, but not quite what we hoped for. We're hoping for better when we get to the Med. Will write more when able - lots to tell already.
