Camping Les Rives du Lac, contd...
Clear blue sky, 34C by lunch time.
Sadly Kathleen's picnic organising skills are not as good as her cycling skills, and, in ten miles, we fail to spot a bar or shop, so, we have to wait until we get back to the van, for sustenance.
We have received the link for Bryan and Joans blog here, but, cannot add a comment for some reason!

Camping Les Rives du Lac, contd...
After the excellent weather we have had so far, a disappointing start to the day, a cool 18C, cloudy, with occasional showers.
The plan for today was to have an easy, relaxing day, after our two consecutive "20 miles" days. But, it is Sunday, so, Kathleen is determined to go to church (in Lusigny-sur-Barse). There is a church there, and, Kathleen's enquiries at the adjacent hairdressers, suggested there was a mass at 10:30, Sunday, either that, or, she has made a hair dressing appointment for then!
Well, after pedalling 6.5 miles, there is no Mass. All is not lost, the Carrefour is open, so, we are able to stock up on some essentials, ie wine.

On arrival, not impressed, scrappy appearance, some kind of trench digging in progress, alongside very busy road, all that for 17Euro/night, no thank you.
Marked out bays. Divided into two sections (surprisingly, named section 1 and section 2), water and electricity at each bay, good quality showers and toilets available 08:00-20:00 at the modern Capitainaire building, very pleasant Attendant, all for 10Euro/night.
Town approximately five minutes walk.
Once "settled in", Kathleen announces she would like to go for a short cycle ride, to
We end up doing just over 12 miles along an excellent cycle track alongside the River Moselle.
We spend the evening in the sun, drinking wine, it is a hard life. ;)
A slight puzzle, to me at least, is, why is it called "Pont-a-Mousson", true, there is a bridge (Pont), but, the River is the Moselle, so, why not "Pont-a-Moselle"?
