We travelled north, not too far, to a wee place called Bresles, outside Beauvais. The campsite was full of travellers who were mostly british and working in France. The atmosphere was not pleasant, so we decided to move on...rapidly. The outside toilets, openair showers and flooded sinks didn't do much to improve on initial impressions.
We moved to an aire in Beauvais. Fabulous place perched on top of a hill overlooking the unfinished cathedral. The town was mostly destroyed during the war, but traditionally there was a tapestry industry in the town which survives to this day. Apparently the French government supports the industry by commissioning works for their embassies and public buildings. Seems like a good idea to me!
