Do these sites accommodate RV's up to 32' long?

Hi, Bruce.

From our passioning this summer, the problem would not be accommodating the RV, but getting the RV to the Passion in the first place. Some of them were tucked out of the way, down narrow, winding lanes. Also, finding them is tricky too. I wouldn't have fancied trying to turn an RV round in places where we went.

And then you have the potential problem of the ground. They are often just farmer's fields, and might give problems getting off again if there were a downpour in the night.

Thanks, Gerald. I had wondered - I spose missing out on some of the more rustic spots is the price we pay for having an obscenely immense vehicle.

So on balance I assume we should save our 27 yoyo's for a night on the town. Ok, an evening. . .

Hi

We tend to use a mix of aires and passion Fr. We have had some tremendous stops incl personal guided tours in numerous vineyards, the pleasure of consuming two bottles of premier cru champagne with 5th generation winemakers at no charge. at chigny les roses near epernay.

yes some are out of the way and there is no doubt a little luck is required but it is a great way to meet the locals. The addition of POI downloads for sat nav is something I am looking forward to using.

go well

We loved Passions too, until we picked up a puncture at one Crying or Very sad And our experiences of the vineyards (although we only looked at about 3 or 4) were that thet were based near or outside the vineyard offices.

And as for the Passion POI downloads - I wouldn't trust them too much. Many weren't ncluded, some were in the wrong place, and some were repeated 5 times! I'm sure it'll improve, and people who run the Passion scheme will provide the POIs themselves.

As you say, a great way of seeing parts of the country you might otherwise miss, and the locals were always friendly and helpful.
