1980 was a radical new departure for us - not just abroad, but camping. Well, purists probably wouldn't count it as proper camping as we went with Eurocamp, so the tent was already there, 3 "bedrooms", that sort of thing. But back in 1980 the lighting was just a gas lamp and the fridge was just a coolbox that you kept topped up with blocks of ice you bought from reception. Electric light and a fridge didn't come along for a couple of years.
This was at Benodet in Brittany - Camping de la Pointe St Gilles, which Eurocamp still use. The takeaway there was fantastic - we quickly realised that how much you got was determined by the size of the container you took along, not what you asked for, so it was quite cheap to pick up "2 frites" in a bloody big bowl that would feed all four of us......
