We wanted to get to Chartres today so that we could have a day of relaxation looking around the town before the final push towards Calais. I went out to get fresh bread for breakfast, having to visit three before I found one that was open. I thought that French boulangerie never closed!
We set of bfore 08:30 and our route took us mostly on the Route National N7. This proved to be a very good road with many miles of it being dual carriageway of motorway or near motorway standard. Leaving the N7 at Gien we stopped at an aire on the banks of the Loire for lunch. We had been through two torrential downpours where the van windscreen wipers, even on the fast setting, could not cope with the volume of water and another one found us just outside Gien. Fortunately the weather started to improve and, although not basking in sunshine, we arrived at Les Bords de L'Eure campsite in Chartres in dry, settled weather.

We are looking at buying a motohome in the UK later this year then touring Europe for a few months, each year. We live in Australia and I am looking for advice on the size to buy and an update on your current costs.
What is the best way to communicate with you if you have the time to help us.
Thanks
Ian
