Champagne country...

Hey hey hey,

so, thanks to the purveyors of the Big Mac (Royale over here) we can update the blog. We have now done 570 miles in La Belle France. We stayed Weds nite on a lovely farm, in a place called Concerveux, part of the France Passion scheme. Very nice people, and very nice farm cider...hic...

It was really a lovely farm, and the stay was completely free.
We then headed South-ish, and ended up in a place called Eperney, which is in the Marne Valley, and is the centre of the Champagne industry. There are vineyards and champagne makers literally everywhere, the big boys such as Verve Cliquot, Moet, etc, as well as hundreds of small independent growers and producers, its still expensive tho. Quite by chance we saw a sign for a municipal camp site, so we checked it out, and it was great, so we parked up and stayed for 2 nights....we even went bike riding along the River Marne.


Just to cap things off, we discovered a small supermarket selling one of our fave red wines for 6 euros a gallon...needless to say I have a head ache.
Well, the Royale with bacon and cheese is finit, and so is the beer. We are now off in search of a compatible gas bottle for Elvis. We will post again with more pics as soon as we can...watch this space...
