Vaison La Romaine, we should have guessed by the name

I am sitting here typing this at 9.30pm. It’s still over 30c in Zagan and mozzies are being systematically swatted outside by Jay. I have a love/hate relationship with the little critters – I hate them, and they love me – so I’m sweltering inside the van caked in repellent and with citronella in the oil burner.

We knew coming down from the high altitude fun we’d had on the Col du Lautaret, Puy St Vincent and Mont Ventoux would plunge us into hot weather. We know we don’t cope well in heat, so we picked a town close to Mont Ventoux with a campsite that had shady pitches. We arrived at Camping Du Theatre Romain in Vaison La Romaine just before reception closed for lunch. They had two pitches left, so we grabbed one.
