      Lille to Villenauxe la Grande

      September 25, 2023 in France ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      We said our goodbyes and set off south to Villenauxe. As we were only half an hour from Belgium we took a detour across the border. Kev wanted waffles 🧇 but couldn't find a purveyor of waffles within 'the border region'!
      Setting the sat navigation to 'no tolls' is great. Not only do we save wine tokens, we skirted the Somme region and stopped at memorials to those lost in the first and second world wars.
      Spotted a chateau from miles away and did a short detour which didn't disappoint. Still warm here so stopped for an orangina, Laurent, the bar owner was chatty and when we complimented his lovely little bar he enquired if we wanted to buy it... bit far to travel to Horwich for my office days and although AXA offices are everywhere, I didn't spot one up by the chateau!
      Long 4 hour drive on unfamiliar roads (without the stops) but really worth it!
      Just the one night in Villenauxe, we will focus on this gorgeous village tomorrow.
      Now for food.... night all 🍾
