So instead of Paris (and we were all up early anyway) we set of to see what there was locally. We walked from the site along the road to Vic-sur-Aisne and then down to the river Aisne. Mick was on the lookout for a butchers that sold horse meat, he really wants to try some but he didn't see one. We took photos of bridges, the river, locks, barges, a Château, and had a very nice relaxing walk in the hot sun.
We then moved away from the river and had a look around the village before inevitably ending up at a bar for a rest and refreshments. Mick and Bren had red wine, Dot had white wine and I had a beer (Jupiler), we sat outside the bar, with a fantastic view of the, Donjon et Château (Keep and Castle) de Vic-sur-Aisne. As usual we didn't just have the one we had two.
Big storm clouds appeared in the sky so we headed back to the site but the way back we thought we would pop into the supermarket but it was closed and not open for another hour (I will never understand this closing for a couple of hours on the afternoon).
It did rain for a short while but it soon stopped, although it did cool down quite a bit, so it was on with the cardigans. We had a walk around the lakes, fed the ducks and then, for tea we popped over to the cafe and had a couple of beers there, before watching yet another beautiful sunset from outside the van.
