France proper:
Saturday 2nd June: Eurotunnel at 1pm
We got there early (only 20 miles) so left at 11:50.
Arrive in France 12:30 so 1:30 Then drive to Richebourg 70 miles. All very easy !
Sunday 3rd June: A day at leisure
Monday 4th June: Shopping nearby. Then Richebourg to Coucy-le-Château-Auffrique 100miles
Tuesdsay 5th: Coucy to Epineuil (Near Tonnerre) 140miles
Wednesday 6th: Epineuil to Louhans 150miles
Thursday 7th: Louhans to Sornay 5miles! (so no map). Overnight in a little car-park/aire with free facilities (inc EHU)
Louhans a delightful town. Camping by the river good but payment fussy (5.60 Euros) and extra for water/toilet.
We are now very near the Alps so shorter daily distances ahead.

From Louhans no distance at all to Sornay for 1 night in a roadside car-park with EHU.
Then on to Chanaz via Belley. The aire at Chanaz did not suit us so we went to Virignin a large parking areas and facilities.
Next to Bourgneuf (2 nights) and a large area by a Restaurant with water disposal(s) but no EHU.
Finally on Monday 11th June to Termignon on the D1006 just short of the "road up to Col de Mont Cenis"
All the places were fine. Photos soon !
