With every town ending in 'wihr', 'helm', 'heim' and 'berg' you could easily be mistaken for thinking you were in Germany. As we headed north west a little deeper into France we stopped for coffee at an aire in Chatenois, a beautiful little town (photo) but the butchers was called Adolfe, we thought it odd that a shop selling food should be promoting bad taste. We are back in the Haut Rhin/Vosges/Alsace region(s), very densely forested and big French Resistance territory during the war, don't mention the war.
The sun was still beating down on us so much that unless the aircon was on full belt it was just getting too hot in the van. We knocked one site off in the morning then arrived here (Corcieux) in the early afternoon. It wasn't long before the sun gave way to an almighty thunderstorm with white frozen peas covering the place! The sun returned later in the day though :-) The very welcoming family made our minds up that we would take today off and so we stay here again tonight. They treated us to some local Alsace wine and we really enjoyed their company. Oh, Mike is from Holmfirth!
