bad travel

When undertaking a trip abroad, the issue of low or high travel season comes up regularly on the mat. A stay of even a few weeks in a foreign country is not trivial and raises a lot of expectations. And it's true that the season and weather are important parameters to be considered. However, this observation is also true for our country. Traveling in low season in France offers its advantages but also disadvantages. Little review of the problems encountered during our trip on the Atlantic side end of September.


The increased risk of bad weather

It is not going to lie: a nice weather is still a major asset to enjoy a trip and more vacation. I'm not talking a few moments of rain, as one can have in Southeast Asia. No, I speak of a constant bad weather that makes you want to watch the series in a good duvet.

As I said earlier, we left in our old VW combi for a couple of days, "bivouac / camping" mode. It works well and it's great when the weather is nice. And we've had rain.

Three days of almost constant rain, interspersed with very cloudy, put the strained nerves. Despite all our gear (including shower, portable shower ...), we have struggled. I'll spare you the details, but I assure you wash a vehicle (even a combi) when it rains, everything gets wet, it's too cold to remove not even a sweater, it's not there has more cool.
