Day 4 - Honfleur to Chateau de Chambord
There was no rush to leave Honfleur. It rained a bit overnight, the roads were wet so we had breakfast and a shower, drained the waste and filled up with fresh water all before we set off at around 11am.
The roads we geat, all easy driving until the sat-nav wanted to take us up a slip road that was closed. One major detor later we arrived later than planned at Chambord and headed for the chateau aire.
The aire is a basic overnight parking spot right beside the chateau but without any services.
We had a quick walk in the grounds as the sun was shining and decided to take the tour tomorrow.

We begin our tour with an early start and head down to the DFDS ferry port at Newhaven. Our ferry was due to depart at 9:30 and docks at Dieppe France about 16:40. We booked a cabin as it was not too much more money, it was a chance to drop our stuff and take a shower.
The tour begins on home turf with a trip from home down to the Brighton Caravan and Motorhome club site. This is a convienient campsite as it's a short run across the coast road and on to Newhaven ferry terminal, we didn't want to run the risk of being stuck in traffic and miss our once per day crossing. We have been to this club site before, It's on the edge of the town and has a bus stop not too far away that will take you into the centre. The town is great but we have no plans to go there today, it's time to relax before cooking something for dinner later.
