Normandy and Corsica 2022

Travelogue
A first tour of the place inspires us - a great, artistic atmosphere. Even walking the dog is no problem. A hiking and cycling trail starts directly at the campsite.
The next day is a visit to the museum with the Monet Gardens.
Even if the water lilies haven't bloomed yet, the floral splendor is absolutely impressive. Monet's home is also worth a visit. It is best to visit the gardens early in the morning.

The parking space in Honfleur is huge, simply equipped and ok for 12€/24h with supply and disposal.
The place itself has a medieval flair and is characterized by many different house styles. The wooden church and bell tower are of particular interest.

The parking lot is very nice. However, the seats are very narrow, so that when you get off you end up directly against the wall of your neighbors. Since the place was full (max. 6 Womos) we drove on.

We stayed one night and had a nice walk on the beach. At the square itself there is a skating track, a Ferris wheel and a go-kart track. Very ideal with a dog.

From here we drove towards Mont St. Michel.

With a view of Mont St. Michel, this parking space at a farm shop is the absolute main prize. We stayed the night here for the purchase of a bottle of Calvados and a very tasty fish soup. Unfortunately there are only three parking spaces.
After a walk to the beginning of the connecting road to Mont St. Michel, we ended the day with a good meal, a bottle of wine and one or two Calvados with an unobstructed view of the mountain.

In any case, you should be with the 3.5 million visitors per year. Worth it.
After breakfast at the Womo, we then left to visit our friends in Normandy.

From Crouttes to here, the route was sometimes very strenuous. The sat nav (Apple) has led us many small ways. In the end, you should still have the map to hand in order to possibly correct the route.
From Clermont Ferrand we took the A75 (toll-free) to Montpellier. We paid €14.20 for a bridge at Millout. On the coast we then enjoyed a shorter section of the motorway for €6.50. All in all, the second piece was easier to ride than the first.

Here's another tip for Corsica Ferry users. Be sure to turn off your cell phone completely, put it on flight mode or at least turn off wifi. We ignored an SMS from Vodafone and had to pay dearly for it. So, either switch off your cell phone or take an SMS from your provider into account accordingly.

Ile Rousse itself is a town worth seeing. We later had the opportunity to visit the city in detail. But first we went on to Calvi.

Tours in the mountains are made from here, Corbara is a very nice mountain village
Altogether we stayed 3 days and also took a look at the city of Ile Rousse. As I said - it's worth it.

Approximately 19km after the Suare junction from the D81 car park at Auberge de foret.
You should not necessarily drive this route with larger motorhomes. There are even more accessible river bathing spots in Corsica.

Very nice parking space with a nice beach and a great sunset. In the evening a city official comes to collect money - 20€/N, just a parking space
We left at 8:30 a.m. to get to the mountain route early. The route was easy to drive with our motorhome. However, everyone should decide for themselves whether they want to do the tour. It can get very tight and you should always be fully concentrated. Enjoying the beautiful landscape is the responsibility of the passenger.

At 9 a.m. we left for the onward journey. The day before we explored the route by bike until just before Piana. It seemed more demanding to us than from Galeria to Porto. In particular, the many groups of bikes riding close together pose a challenge when overtaking.

You should definitely visit Ajaccio. A very lively and lively city that has its charm. Not least because one always has the feeling that Napoleon is about to turn the corner.
In 2019 we went into town by motorbike. This time with the bikes. Both are an experience.

From here you can make great hikes and trips by SUP or boat. A coastal hike to a nearby Genoese tower is also an experience. But you can also just enjoy the beach!

From here we climbed the COL de Bavella at 1280m by bike. We needed a little more than an hour for the 20 km, and the battery capacity of our bikes reached its limits. Nevertheless - a great but strenuous tour with beautiful views of the mountains.
Unfortunately, the stay on the CP was clouded by adjacent road construction work.

The lady of the house offers Corsican food. For €25 we enjoyed a three-course meal with wine. Absolute top!
We have been warmly welcomed here. If you love a more personal atmosphere, this is the place for you.

That's why we drove to the parking space above the campsite. This has a very good and new equipment. For €30/N without electricity, not exactly a snap, but ok for South Tyrol.
The area around Lake Caldaro is very touristy and there is no possibility to swim in the lake with the dog. In addition, the lake water was very warm and you had to pay an entrance fee everywhere to get to the lake.
We cycled the 7 km to Kaltern. The place is quite nice.
On the 2nd day we made a very nice hike to the Rastenbach Gorge. The tour takes about 2.5 hours. You will be rewarded with a very beautiful waterfall.

Of course, we have to say again that more time should have been spent on the individual regions. Normandy in particular is worth a separate trip. We had originally planned this as a "journey in the footsteps of Commissioner Dupin". But we will definitely do this again. Corsica hasn't seen the last of us either. And then there is also Sardinia ....

The parking lot is very nice. However, the seats are very narrow, so that when you get off you end up directly against the wall of your neighbors. Since the place was full (max. 6 Womos) we drove on.

We stayed one night and had a nice walk on the beach. At the square itself there is a skating track, a Ferris wheel and a go-kart track. Very ideal with a dog.

You should not necessarily drive this route with larger motorhomes. There are even more accessible river bathing spots in Corsica.

You should definitely visit Ajaccio. A very lively and lively city that has its charm. Not least because one always has the feeling that Napoleon is about to turn the corner.
In 2019 we went into town by motorbike. This time with the bikes. Both are an experience.

That's why we drove to the parking space above the campsite. This has a very good and new equipment. For €30/N without electricity, not exactly a snap, but ok for South Tyrol.
The area around Lake Caldaro is very touristy and there is no possibility to swim in the lake with the dog. In addition, the lake water was very warm and you had to pay an entrance fee everywhere to get to the lake.
We cycled the 7 km to Kaltern. The place is quite nice.
On the 2nd day we made a very nice hike to the Rastenbach Gorge. The tour takes about 2.5 hours. You will be rewarded with a very beautiful waterfall.

Of course, we have to say again that more time should have been spent on the individual regions. Normandy in particular is worth a separate trip. We had originally planned this as a "journey in the footsteps of Commissioner Dupin". But we will definitely do this again. Corsica hasn't seen the last of us either. And then there is also Sardinia ....
