Many miles north

A sensible 07:45 start to take Ruadh to the vets for her pre-crossing check-up and then a drive up the middle of France without a single motorway.
Troyes was a place I'd meant to visit for a while and whilst the outskirts were not promising, the central area is well preserved if a little touristic.
Four or five street sof nothing but half-timbered houses.
