🇫🇷 An Unexpected Stop in Langres

We’ve decided to start making our way home a little earlier than planned. We’re not in a mad rush to get back, though, so rather than simply pointing the van towards Calais and driving, we’ve decided to turn the journey home into a little adventure of its own.

Tonight that has brought us to Langres – a place we knew absolutely nothing about before deciding to come here! 😂 Apparently it’s one of France’s oldest fortified towns, sitting high above the surrounding countryside with nearly 4km of ramparts, impressive old gateways, towers and a maze of historic streets inside the walls.

Whether it’s actually as lovely as it sounds remains to be seen… tomorrow we’ll find out! 😂

For tonight, though, we’ve parked up at the Aire de Camping-Car du Grand Langres, just outside the old town. It was cheap, wonderfully quiet, really easy to get into and within minutes of arriving we were level, plugged in and settled for the night. After a long drive from Frutigen, that was exactly what we needed.

Tomorrow morning we’ll wander through the old town and around the ramparts before continuing our slow journey north towards Calais.

Not quite the direction we expected our adventure to take today… but perhaps Langres will turn out to be one of those completely unplanned stops that surprises us. ❤️🚐🇫🇷Læs mere
