Orleans to Calais via Compiegne

Left reasonably early for us but still took us till 6pm ish to reach Calais. We can’t believe how much slower the journey through France is in a motorhome compared to a car. Had some Super U croissants 🥐 though to keep us going! Got to Paris quite quickly but the Peripherique was bouchoned to say the least! 😂Took about an hour to get through. Decided to stop off in Compiegne for lunch …think it’s the start of the Paris-Roubaix (more cycling language). Was a lovely town with a Christmas market but we spent most of the time with a nagging doubt as to whether we would be able to get back out of the car park – it was a bit tight! Drove on to Calais (well, Guy did as I’m too scared of the wind, snow and huge lorries) and arrived just as it dropped really cold again. Had a steak and a glass of red (not a patch on El Barrr Scrofties) then did a bit of late night shopping just as they all pulled their shutters down – typical!
