Day Five 28th June
From our ASCI book we found a site just off the Loire on the river Indre not far from Tours, a site that was still offering discount at this late date.
The plan was to follow the river as much as possible, so we left Beaugency on the N152 (I now think, we would have been better off on the other side of the river) but stopped almost as soon as we set off, at an Intermarché to stock up and fill up with fuel. At Chaumont-sur-Loire we crossed over the river onto the D751 to Amboise where we headed away from the Loire on the D83 towards Saint-Martin-le-Beau. Now at this point the GPS wanted to send us down what looked like a forestry commission road, so we had to pull over into a lay-by and sort out a new route. This is the first time this has happened, last year it did try to send us under a low bridge but was different it was still a main road. We stayed on the D83 to the D45 then D17 to the site in Veigné.

Nice site but most of the amenities did not open for another couple of weeks (hence the ASCI discount I suppose). We pitched right on the river bank, then had a good look around the site and village, after that we had a walk along the river on the opposite side to the site.
That evening it cooled down and started to rain so we changed our minds about just staying on the Loire and decided that tomorrow, we would head for the Dordogne.
