Well after a quick breakfast we started out packing. It's quite a long job really and lasts about four hours to take the tent down, pack up the cooker, let down the air bed etc etc and finally pack the car. We could not hurry to much as we had to make certain the tent and porch we fully dry before packing and after a heavy due it takes a couple of hours to be fully dry.
Anyway we left Ebreuil around one pm and headed North with the intention of using the side roads and avoiding the motorways. We had not planned a stop just we would stop when were tired and ther was suitable accomodation available. We had packed up tent etc when the sun was getting hotter and at 4pm it was still 34 degrees Centigrade and as most French Hotels do not have Air Conditioning we thought we would hold out until we found a suitable place. Our previous stays in Hotels without aircon was not good.
Anyway after a very nice drive through wide areas of farming areas and then hills and very twisty roads, it almost my arms out we decided thet we would head for Avallon and try to stay the night there.
So we arrived at about 6 pm and found a very nice, but expensive Hotel with aircon, and we decided to stay the night here. As the Hotel was expensive no doubt the restaurant would be as well and so we found a nice little place in the middle of town whilst taking some photo's.
The place was fairly quiet and the the restaurants seemed mostly empty and considering it was Bastile Day this surprised us.
