Well we had now been in the area twice and not visited Compiègne, we had driven round it but been into the centre. So that is where we went, we drove along the main road to see if it was clear for the trip home, there were diversion signs dotted about and I though part of the road may be closed. It wasn't there were just some road works and it was lorries that were being diverted to cut down on traffic congestion.
We parked up near the Parc Du Chateau (got the last place in the car park there)and walked into town. After a quick look around the centre we made our way down to the river.
From there we then crossed over the river to look at the train station and had a bit of a walk by the river before heading back over the bridge to the centre.
We went back into the centre to look in the shops and have a better look round before finding a bar for a quick beer. The centre was a lot quieter than I thought it would be for a large place like this. We then had a final look in the shops before heading back to the site for a dip in the pool.
We didn't go directly to the site but drove along the river where we could, looking for bridges to photo that I had not already got.
After cooling off in the pool, we spent the evening sat in the sun outside the van with a few new French beers.
