We left slightly later than planned as we both slept very well and by the time we had got organised we left about 0830 to head off round Paris on the ‘A104 Francilian’ almost a motorway but more of a ring road. This road is about 30 miles outside of
So two hours later we were South of Paris and on the A10 Motorway heading for
We arrived at the Ebrueil exit and due to confusion with the signs above the toll booths we ended up in the Truck Exit lane instead of cars which did cause some confusion. However this was their fault as the car exit had a height restriction and now way would the Caravan go under a 2 metre bar.
We have also noticed that the width of the toll booth payment areas is also very narrow and so you have to be very careful when entering.
The site at Ebreuil was quite empty and we were able to spend some deciding where we would park the van. We wanted to be close to the river but not under the trees and not to close to anybody else but also near water and electric. We succeeded however and one hour later we were having a nice cup of tea.
Whenever we arrive here at the Ebreuil site, this is our third time, it is always raining and today was no exception. Better weather is promised/forecast from mid this week, so let’s see what happens and keep our fingers crossed.
The take-away is great and tonight is it Steak & Kidney pie, the owners of the site are English, which explains the menu and it was really good and together with a bottle of local red wine we had a great evening listening to the light rain fall and reading.
After dinner we both tried out the Caravan shower for the first time and both of us agreed it was very good, not a lot of space but sufficient to get clean and not have to go to a cold wash block
We may well set up the Awning tomorrow if it is not raining too much.
