Friday 11^th June Update (probably the last entry of the holiday)

Wednesday we watched the Holland v Argentina match in the tv room at La Grande Sologne. It was a very wet night and the room was full with people stood outside in the rain hoping for a glimpse of the tv set . a set that was one of those massive things we all had about 15 years ago and which the charity shops stopped accepting about 10 years ago.  It still showed the same out of date Dutch team go down after penalties (why didn’t I just go to bed early).

It rained all night so we left the site and headed to Brou. However when we arrived at Brou the rain had stopped but it was cold and cloudy. We decided to push on and get close to the port of Le Havre. We found a lovely aire/CL site on the River Seine, it was a cherry farm where the price was 11 euros with electricity. Once we’d pitched we drove down the River and returned after completing 10 miles. This meant that on this trip we’ve now done 400 miles on our bikes.

This morning we arrived at Fe

The privately owned Camping Aire/ cherry farm overlooking the Seine

Great views overlooking the Seine.

Looking down from our pitch at Fecamp beach.

The view from our Pitch at the campsite in Fecamp

The area around Fecamp looks a bit like the Dorset area.

Beach at Fecamp

camp not far from Le Havre. We used the municipal site Reneville this cost 22:50 euros. We could have stopped over at the massive free Aire in the town which had toilets and water and drainage but we liked the quieter location of the campsite. As you can see from the photos it also has magnificent views.

So tomorrow it looks like we’ll leave the site around 12 noon, fill up with diesel (1.21e a litre at the Intermarche), buy some wine from Leclerc or Carrefour and maybe stop for dinner at another beach resort then get to the port for around 4pm in time for the 5pm sailing.
