Day 11: Jargeau to Olivet near Orleans again: Nicest camping ever had (in my life, no kidding)

August 13, 2013

This day is like a rest day. This is a super day to bike, temperature is 22°C, no wind. This is a perfect day.

Shortly after Jargeau I met a young couple from Newzealand having a sandwich with their home made recumbent bike on the grass. They quite their job and tour Europe for 6 months,finishing November 2013.

Only 20 km to cover from Jargeau to Olivet on EV6 first and then with the help of the GPS.Set up the tent, met a German couple from Köln with their daugther. The have a pino from Hase and a regular bike, may be soon a scorpion, who knows ...

The camp site is located on Loiret river. Very pretty, super clean. Since it is full, but not seems, it is always open for cyclist and could set up the tent in the nearby filed, 3 hectares for myself, never had so much room and such a well maintained and equipped camping.

Orleans is 5 km from the campsite by bike road, except that there is not sign for it. The lady from the camping gave me a map and I went to Orleans, within less than 20 minutes.

You can go through the gate only at opening hours otherwise the guy from reception will be mad at you.

Never had so much room in a camping site : 3 hectares at only 5 km of Orleans

Steve, Dodie, if you go through Orleans, you have to go to this camping site.

Yes, this is the campsite. And watch-out for crocodiles
