Neufchatel-en-Bray

Another day on the busy motorways of France!!

 If only the M25 was like that!!

We've come to the town of Neufchatel-en-Bray in Normandy -well on our way home now - a place we have stayed at several times before.  It has a lovely campsite but that isn't open this year yet.  However, in recent times they have opened an Aire de Camping Cars next door, which for 12€ a night has everything a camper could possibly need, including washing machines!
Many years ago we had a meal at the restaurant through the archway with our good friends, Janet and Graham.  We've booked Sunday lunch as our final fling, so hope it's just as good now.  Watch this space .....
 The main square and imposing Church.
 The old railway line here has been made into a cycle track all the way to Dieppe.  Today we just walked a bit of it - this notice refers to the models of the planets placed at intervals along the track.  The sun is in the photo.

The station building is now a cafe and an information board gives details of the history of the line, along with this little story:

 This interesting-looking box beside the track - not for the birds, but for geocachers!
 A beautiful sunset to round off a great day without any rain.
