Fecamp appears to be a nice town, probably worthy of a longer stop. It's also very popular, but the fact it is free might help! But we need to carry on north so with a nice route planned into the netbook we rejoined our old friend the D940.

We have travelled this road before a couple of times so this time we avoided some of the coastal villages. A bit of provisioning and lunch in Carrefour car-park at St Valerie-sur-Somme, we got to thinking about our night stop. Having noticed very many motor-homes on the road, we realised that aires were going to be busy so it would probably be better to stop earlier than usual and a quick calculation showed Le Touquet would be just about right, especially as there are two, one of which is quite big.

And it looked as if we were correct in our assumptions because, although the larger "airport" aire appeared to have some space, the more popular "marina" site was just about full at 3.45pm, with one space left which we snaffled! It's location meant we had a nice grassy area alongside so chairs out again for some more sun - though initially the day was cloudy the forecast good weather had finally overtaken us.

This is our last touring night, tomorrow we intend to be in Calais, so when the flying bugs started to get a bit too much we packed everything away ready for the journey home.
