Hello, I am sort of in that area.
If you can (and you are interested) try the Eifel national park, Germany. There is an aire, 13eu, and an amazing museum about the third reicht. Hitler actually visited. Very appropriate place considering the date.

If you are going walking in the woods or on the heaths of the Ardennes then most definitely take precautions against ticks. They are endemic in this region, both of us got Lyme disease there.

Visited in the Eiffel NP many years ago. I remember an observation tower and some fencing with quite disturbing 'artwork' on it - could not understand what it was trying to say.

Seen as Switzerland has been mentioned, can I hijack the thread and ask a question?

Are Dashcams allowed in Switzerland? My Son is doing his annual motorcycle European Tour with his friends shortly and going through Switzerland en route to Italy. They all have Dashcams and I seem to remember they are not permitted. Am I right or wrong please?

I believe dash cams are fine in Switzerland.

Need to check up on if it's ok to share the footage online, though.

After one week we are in Dinant. All good apart from the weather. Max 13 degrees some days and that is without the windchill. Looking at the forecast it looks like the heavy rain of the past days is over. It's mid-May!!!

 

[Jo001]

Where are you staying at Dinant? We were getting spoiled with water and electricity at the other aires we were on, and the campsite was a bit far out of town for us (and the reviews on SFS weren't great) so we didn't visit.

I've parked alongside the river, ok for 6m 'ish van.

In Dinant we stayed in the football club car park, close to the citadel. Recommended, level and quiet.

We don't need EHU as we don't use much. Plus the sun is now shinning so we have solar.

Water is challenging. Two service points with pay by credit card were not working. The third, by which time the tank was empty. Worked with a €2 coin.

We are now in Charleville Mézières staying near the old art deco Deville factory.
