Whilst waiting to call the Italians this morning regarding Blueys parts, we gave him a good wash! Unfortunately we have definitely lucked out and ran out of time to fix Bluey before we head back home. So our plan B is to go to Versailles and Paris. We decided to head to Dijon and on the way we stopped in Bourg en Bresse to hand in Marks' documents to renew his visa. Fingers crossed that all goes well with that. We then took the autoroute to an aire just out of Dijon, but we decided we weren't in the mood for a big city. We spotted on the map just northwest of Dijon, the 'Source of the Seine', so off we went. It was a lovely drive through beautiful countryside. The Seine starts at only 445m altitude from an underground source over which a man made grotto and sculpture are placed. We also went across the first bridge over the Seine!

 

After consulting the Aires book, we headed for Venarey les Laumes, being the closest spot and nicely positioned near a small lake.
