2017 10 03 - day 17 - Saint Julien du Sault.
Today we pick up our motorhome from Motor Homes France (MHF). Our home away from home for the next 29 days! We are going to Gare de Lyon to catch the 10.49 am train to Sens, about a 90 minute journey. When we get there we are told that the train doesn't run from there. Next train is at 12.49 pm which arrives in Sens at 2.18pm. Quick phone call to MHF to advise we would be late as they were picking us up at 2.15 pm.
Wayne was certain he had not misread the timetable so re-checked it online. Sure enough there was a 10.49 am train. Don't know what the ticket seller was on about. But then putting someone in a position like that who speaks no English and who would be dealing with multiple foreigners each day, seemed pretty stupid!
We were collected by MHF no problems. Back to the depot to fill in all the paperwork and do the orientation on the vehicle.
All done so off to the local supermarket to get our initial supplies.
Our next destination was Saint Julien du Sault for an overnight stay. As it had been nearly two weeks since we left home, we decided to spend another day in St Julien to take care of the domestics, the washing!
The campsite is very primitive but is in the most beautiful setting by the Yonne River.
Our first night in our mobile home. Pre-dinner drinks, nibbles, a salad, a bottle of wine with dinner and something delicious with coffee! This is heaven and we have 28 more days of it!
