We arrived at the tunnel quite early and we offered an
earlier crossing at 09:46. A very smooth crossing followed and we set off on
the motorway south. As always, we try to avoid tolls and major motorways as we
much prefer driving through the French countryside. We had a couple up hold-ups
around Rouen but otherwise enjoyed some lovely sights.
We stopped off at the small town of Blangy-sur-Brestle for lunch, refuelling and
stocking up with French food, beer and wine. Onward then to Plan d’Eau de Ecluzelles,
a lake just S.E. of Dreux. This is a man-made lake complete with tiny islands,
fishing and wildlife areas. One of the car parks acts as a motorhome aire
without water and dumping facilities. We could park up with a lovely view of
the lake and settle in for a peaceful night.
