Substantial thunder storm overnight, with heavy rain. Bright and sunny by 10:00, this morning.
After our cycling exertions of the previous two days, we have a day of doing little today.
A short walk along the Canal du Nivernais, for two or so miles, more thunderstorms by 16:00.

Dreadful weather this morning, strong wind, heavy rain, and cold at only 9C. It does not get much better, as the day progresses. There will be no outdoor activities today, I fear.
Tuesday, 1st May 2018
Dry and sunny as we pack up to leave.
A hundred and twenty five miles, mostly on excellent roads, mostly D606 and N6, then a free bit of motorway (A6) as we approach the outer edge of Paris.
Today (1st May) is a Public Holiday in France, and, it would appear just about everything is closed, only a few foreign registered trucks on the road, all of the French ones are parked in in Services, which are stacked out with them.
Our problem is, we need a few "essentials" and every supermarket we pass is closed. Eventually detour into a small village, and find a bread shop open.
Even the Palace of Versailles is closed today, one of the very days people may wish to visit, you would have thought?
It is certainly well located for visiting the Palace of Versailles, it is perhaps 40 minutes walk from Campsite, or quite cyclable, or, there are buses.
