La Bréche
Well, for a variety of reasons we decided to change our ferry home to tomorrow afternoon. Consequently, we drove up closer to Cherbourg and have spent the afternoon on the beach close to the Omaha landings.

Deauville
Busy day for us, visit to Père Magloire before lunch. Bike ride all around Deauville and Trouville sur Mer this afternoon plus swim for Kay and out for dinner.
Courtonne-la-Merdrac
Walked around the lake this morning and debated where to go. Ended up here and very pleasant it is. Nearly had an accident when a large load truck decided he didn’t have to give way at a roundabout.
Saint-Lubin-des-Joncherets
Bike ride into Chartres to view the impressive cathedral. A funeral was held during part of our visit, quite strange. Kay took us out of Chartres and to a grassy pitch by a lake for a relaxing afternoon.
Chartres
Had a wander around Châteaudun this morning, very nice town. Pretty much straight drive to Chartres. Waiting for the thunderstorm that’s due this evening, I can hear the thunder as I type.
Châteaudun
Bike ride into Orléans for a look around somewhere bigger than a village. Massive cathedral dominates the centre. Kay drove in the afternoon to Châteaudun that was on our list from a few days ago.
La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin
A ride into Beaugency and a walk discovering the historic town. Quick stop at a motorhome dealer to look at new mohos, nothing we want! We’re now parked in the forest close to the Loire.
Meung-sur-Loire
We decided to get back onto the Loire for more interest. The Chateau here was very good value and was full of artefacts and information. Never had a tour of the attic and the dungeons before.
Cloyes-sur-le Loir
Had a quick look around the market at Oucques then off to Vendôme for some diesel and lpg plus a look around the ruined castle. Spending the afternoon and night here.
Oucques La Nouvelle
A lovely walk around Blois followed by three attempts to find somewhere to sleep.
Huisseau-sur-Cossen
Liberation Day in Guernsey, we’re forever thankful. We had an intruder last night, well invited really.
Mareuil-sur-Cher
Bike ride in the other direction along Le Cher as far as Azay-sur-Cher and back, over 15 miles. Short drive to here and again on our own at the moment.
