Dave and Claire had to get the train from Soissons back to Paris for the flight home, so we thought we could spend some time in Soissons centre before the train. We parked at the station Dave and Claire got their tickets, the train times weren't very good so they would have to leave for Paris earlier than intended.
We walked into town heading for the cathedral, as we had been in 2008, we knew it was in the centre of town, unfortunately, it wasn't the cathedral. We had walked to the ruins of the Abbey of St. Jean des Vignes, didn't notice that last time we were here.
This was only a short detour we had to backtrack slightly to get into the centre, just as we were having a good look round it started to rain and we had to take shelter in a bar (yes a bar we had been to in 2008).
All to soon though, we had to get back the the station, with the timing of the trains, Dave and Claire would have a couple of hours in Paris before heading to the airport. The train arrived spot on time and Dave and Claire were gone.
We had a slow drive back to the site and took some bridge photos along the way.

Back at the site we popped into reception and enquired as to places on the next days trip to Paris, there was space if we wanted to go. We had a walk on the site, a beer in the lakeside bar, wandered back to reception and booked the Paris trip. The lakeside bar had been improved since our last visit and looked very nice.
Early night for an early start.
