After a chat with some Brits parked next to us we serviced the van and set off, our plan being to get as far as Auxerre, which was not really a full day. The problem is that there are few aires in the same latitude as Paris so we thought better to stop early and then push on for a longer leg tomorrow. But once we were back on the main roads we made surprisingly good progress and changed our minds to press on and take our chances.

But of course we had not taken into account that after Nevers, where we stopped for lunch, we were going “cross-country” and progress, especially getting caught behind big lorries, was much slower so by the time we reached, and battled through, Auxerre it was well into late afternoon. Back to Plan A and an aire we had originally planned at Gurgy, on the Yonne river, was quickly reprogrammed into the satnav.

Another delightful riverside spot with plenty of room, we found we had parked next to a stall which later opened to offer a “degustation” of Chablis wines, Chablis being almost the next village along. Not being fans of dry white wine we of course resisted the temptation and instead watched the boats go by………..
