Day 43 Fri 18 Jul. An early start after a very hot, humid
and uncomfortable night. It was 34 degrees at 9pm! Drove north on the autoroute
for about 150miles to an old favourite campsite at Lac du la Liez near Langres in the Champagne-Ardenne region.
Unfortunately it was high season and the site was overpriced and full of kids. The
swimming pool looked like a jar full of tadpoles. We knew that the food was
good so, as a last meal for this holiday, we went the restaurant. They had
closed the nice indoor part of the restaurant, so we had to use the very noisy canteen tables outside with the partially
dressed Dutch, which make up the majority of the populace here. The food was
excellent, the service absolutely appalling, so after waiting 25 mins for the bill to arrive we just took a best guess at the price and walked out. It's probably our fault for expecting too much for the very high season, but if they are going to charge the prices then they need to match the service.
