Departed the Caravan Club site at 07:30, catching the shuttle at 08:35, 15 minutes earlier than our scheduled departure. The Eurotunnel crossing was quick and un-eventful and whilst our outfit is some 3.1m tall (bikes racked on top of the Sorento) this was not a problem as we were travelling with all of the high vehicles and coaches.
A long drive to Langres of around 300 miles had us at the campsite around 17:00. Since the last time we travelled this route we think the main bottleneck at Reims has been solved with a new ring-road. Either that or our latest satnav has just discovered a new and faster route!
Camping du Lac de la Liez is an old favourite of ours and this time we had a lovely pitch with stunning views across the lake.

The site itself is expanding and doesn’t quite have the kind of personal touch and attention to detail it once had.
The toilet facilities are all relatively new but we have stayed on many family campsites which have much older shower blocks yet manage to keep their facilities much cleaner.
