🇫🇷 Langres – A Very Happy Accident

Well, Langres turned out to be a lovely surprise! ❤️

When we arrived last night we really had no idea what we'd find here. It was simply a convenient place on our route towards Calais with a cheap, quiet aire – but this morning we headed through the gates into the old town for a wander and ended up really enjoying it.

We stumbled across an art exhibition near the cathedral, had a look around and then made our way onto the old city walls. We walked most of the way around the ramparts, stopping along the way to learn a little about the history of this beautifully preserved fortified town and taking in the huge views across the surrounding countryside.

There was no big plan and nothing we particularly had to see – we just wandered, explored little streets, stopped when something looked interesting and enjoyed being somewhere we'd never even heard of until yesterday! 😂

Eventually we picked up some snacks and wandered back to the van for lunch before continuing our journey north.Læs mere
