34 Miles!
 |
| Samoreau by the Seine, probably a lovely campsite when it isn't raining |
James
Mission to escape the rain!
34 miles from the pouring rain at Samoreau to a dry Boulancourt =)

We paid to check the weather on my phone and discovered it improved rapidly further south, so we decided to try to outrun the rain. We skipped visiting Fontainbleau Castle and headed south.
 |
| Sandwiches by Le Pont de Moret |
 |
| Alfred Sisley's version (as displayed on a sign) |
On the way the rain slowly stopped and we managed to stop and see some cool sites.
The weather improved as the day went on, first along the Seine..

 |
| Pretty (empty) towns along the Seine |
then across hills into a forest with weird craggy rocks (where James bruised his arm)
 |
| A very jungley forest in the rain |
The Planet Zarlon
 |
| Weird Rocks called Dame Jouanne |
One was an area of forest with huge odd rocks, the other a ruined church.
 |
| A church that was half ruined, half working |
then across open hills and unusual countryside- open flat plains with hills with towns on top of each hill- very defensive looking.
 |
| A town (behind the trees) on top of a hill surrounded by plains |
We could see sun in the distance, and reached it just before the sun set. The campsite at Boulancourt is nice, civilised and very big.
 |
| More Sunflowers |
 |
| An unnecessarily large gate to the small village on Boulaincourt |
We could see sun in the distance, and reached it just before the sun set. The campsite at Boulancourt is nice, civilised and very big.
 |
| When we arrived the sun came out for the first time and we had about 10 minutes sun before it set |
Campsite was nice and dry, Mission complete!
