After five weeks we were finally heading home. Two more overnight stops en-route to Calais and the ferry crossing. The first was a return to the aire at La Mailleraye-sur-Seine. We had visited here years ago but little has changed. You set up your chairs on the riverside and watch the cargo ships and cruise ships sail between Rouen and the sea.

Our final stop was going to be the aire in Boulogne-sur-Mer but, for the first time in the entire trip, there was no room! Using the ever useful Park4Night app we found an excellent alternative aire – basically a farmer’s field in a village called Sombre only 20 minutes from Calais. The sunset provided a nice touch at the end of an excellent holiday.
