Meret to Sens

Last night’s camp site was beautiful – right next to the confluence of the Seine and Yonne. We had an evening walk beside the river.

Today we had our first boulangerie breakfast in the nearest village of Meret sur Loing, scene of famous Sisley paintings of the church.

There followed a wonderful day’s cycling on small lanes, through beautiful villages and across rolling farmland. Tonight we are in Sens, on the municipal camp site having just had an evening meal in the Cathedral Square. The cathedral itself is the biggest building in Sens – though the town hall runs it close. Just like Ripon really.

  1. Yes have been to Meret sur Loing with John and remember the Sisley connection. Beautiful place – though my memory is marred by sitting on damp grass which gave me a urinary infection! Reading your blogs with great interest – thanks!
