We stayed a couple of nights at Loches last September, very nice, bit of a pain though if you need to move to get some water as it is over at the other site. Very busy aires when we were there, vans parked everywhere.
Thanks DB, we have previously stayed in the Citadel campsite at the top of the town and did notice a service point in the car park outside it.
The Aire we are on has the river to one side and a non electrified railway on the other side, but since yesterday when we arrived not one train has gone by ?
Never mind about the cold beer Terry, I hope you´re getting warmer temperatures than we are, it feels colder than winter with a biting wind and temperatures. only +6°c, last week it was +19°c.:frown2:

Parked up at Neris Les Bains now, just south of Montlucon. Sitting out catching some rays,18 degrees.
Had a good run here except for a tailgating HGV driver, gave him a couple of opportunities to pass but he refused until I was following a cement tanker up a hill and tried to pass us both. He got up along side us but ran out of umph, then tried to force me to slow by indicating in. Eventually he had to fall back.
Tailgating resumed on a twisted section, I eventually passed the tanker he soon followed nearly colliding with an oncoming car. On the next straight I slowed right down to let the plonker pass, too young to die at the hands of a Spanish trucker.
La Canourgue Aire as planned, great run down from Neris Les Bains with blue skies and sunshine all the way.
Bit of a street party at the shop beside the Aire, tables on the pavement with a barbecue going, interestingly they also had two cows and a calf fenced in with barriers beside them ?? Bet they got nervous once the bardy was lit.
Nice dander up the town for a few beers and to bring back some nice French sticky pastries.
Headed inland today following Jean's religious theme and hit the Chapels and Cathedrals, little incident in Montblanc's Cathedral as the old dears on the door forgot about us inside and locked us in. :surprise:
Probably sussed out we were in need of divine intervention. :grin2:
Wee tour inland again today twisting climb up to Siurana hilltop village to a bar with a viewing area with stunning views. Made feel quite inadequate as the cyclists powered up to the summit. Tour de France climb stuff. Then down to the lake below for a relaxing lunch.
Back to doing are own cooking and dishes now, on recommendation of the site owners here we had a meal in Can Culleretes (little spoons) one of the oldest Catalan restaurants in Barcelona. Just amazing and well worth a visit for anyone going to Barcelona.
We struck up a conversation with an American couple at the next table, turned out he’d just spent two weeks in Belfast for his company, he couldn’t get over how welcoming and fun it was and he’ll be back for a holiday now, he was of African decent and his name was Patrick, he did explain his mother had a great sense of humour!
Bumped into an American gentlemen of Japanese decent in our hotel lift, he picked my accent up immediately and explained Ireland is his favourite destination and that he has visited all over three times.
