We have much enjoyed Brittany, Fest Noz, Lorient, Port de Peche(?) and so on. The summer before last we stayed on a campsite in Coulon in the Venice Ver, I think it is called, the canal area inland from La Rochelle. Fantastic area for walking and cycling.

One evening a small French band, melodeons, fiddle, banjo, guitar I think, appeared at the site and played an evening of French country dances. People came from the local area and from the campsite. The dances were not called - most people clearly knew what to do. The music was excellent. We did not dance. When the dances were easy we were shy and later they were a bit too hard. It was a a brilliant night but a rare evnt I think.

We have been camping in France for around 30 years and this is the only one we have found by accident. How could we find more?

Cheers
