Boussois -Bavay


Another lovely view across La Meuse when we opened the curtains this morning. A cool breeze was making things very pleasant.  


Many of our neighbours for the night were still fast asleep, or taking in the ambience of the setting too!

We slowly got ourselves together and headed in the direction of Erquelinnes where we did some shopping. We weren’t sure if we were in France or Belgium! So much for being seasoned travellers! In this neck of the woods you are in and out of countries all the time without realising it.

We did end up in France at a lovely aire de camping at Boussois- and plenty of shade too!  

We decided to stay here for most of the day and just relax, just like the like-minded French couple and a Dutch family. Always very interesting to chat with different nationals to get their views of the world. 

At the end of the day we all had to leave because the aire was being closed due to a fair in the area on Sunday.  We all parted late in the afternoon for different locations. 

We drove onto Bavay where we stopped for the night at the aire. Bavay has a great deal of Roman historical connection but we have not had the chance to explore this yet!

Our drive took us past more agricultural land which seemed to be under some stress. The sugar beet crop particularly in some sort of trouble. 


Too hot to cook in the van so an outside cook was on the cards.
