A day for having a drive, no plans just set off and see where we end up. After a meandering drive, taking the odd photo along the way, including a canal, we ended up in Noyon and pulled in at the train station to use the facilities but it was locked up, we later discovered there was a strike on.
We moved on and parked closer to the centre and had just missed the market, they were all packing up as we arrived. We walked round the cathedral and then back to the car to find somewhere to have our picnic lunch.
We didn't find anywhere to stop and ended up in a car park in Chauny, so we had our sandwiches there before going for a walk. After a short walk, the shops where just starting to reopen and we had a quick look round, although we didn't buy anything. We then drove to the canal for a look around.
On the way back to the site we stopped at Coucy-le-Château, we had been before and just had short walk and a beer sat in the hot sun and anyway, we planned to be back there later in the holiday. The bar where we intended to have the beer was closed, it looked like it was closed for good, but a sign in the window, said it was open again tomorrow. The other bar there at the hotel was good for a beer anyway and off the road.
