Since the border posts came down there is one sure way of knowing you have arrived in France. Check the first layby. If there is an old Peugeot or Citroen with a man standing next to it relieving himself, you are there. Bienvenue en France.
We have had a couple of days in the town of Chalon en Champagne where we found a sensibly priced set lunch for 18 Euros each including wine and coffee. Salade de Thon, paupiette de veau and Paris Brest for those who are interested.
We are now in Cheverny in the Loire Valley. Cycling to a couple of chateaux, Cheverny and Troussay,visit to a vineyard and staying in a nice woodland site which closes tomorrow.
Onwards to Urrugne south of Biarritz from where my next post will come. Good wishes to you all.

Finding it hard to post comments - but I'll keep persevering. Enjoying keeping up to date with your travels. We are enjoying something of an Indian Summer here - but would rather be in the south of France!
