Hidden French Village Gem 🇫🇷 | Peaceful Aire Stay in Azay-sur-Thouet

Our next stop on our 8-week European campervan journey brought us to the peaceful village of Azay-sur-Thouet. We discovered a beautiful, quiet aire right by the river, surrounded by weeping willows and warm sunshine—the first real heat of our trip! With hardly another soul around, it felt like our own private escape. We explored the charming village, visited its stunning church, and found a tiny chocolate shop where everything was handmade. Even without speaking the same language, the experience felt truly special. And for Charlie—endless grass to run free made it perfect!
