Decided to pay the toll because I didn't want to arrive too late in Ètretat. Arrived at 4 p.m. and found another place on the pitch (the campsite was already full). There weren't really any alternatives and "camping car" prohibition signs were everywhere. There was really something going on in the city. The pitch costs 11€ without electricity.

I moved from the pitch to the campsite next door. I would have to put in a household chore again and the campsite has washing machines and a dryer. Been shopping and eating out in town too. The weather now seems to be getting a little wetter for the rest of the trip. Cost 12.20 without electricity. Electricity would have been €5 more.

Rouen, Frankreich
Went too fast and am a day ahead of my original plan. Since I'm meeting a friend in Nancy in three days, I've added the 2 cities. Since the weather tends to be bad, I opted for city visits over nature. Rouen was very beautiful, even with the bad weather. I learned a lot about Joan of Arc. Didn't know it ended here. The main church was the most impressive of the trip so far.

Napoleon's Versailles. Park4Night and Google Maps don't understand each other again today and I couldn't find the planned parking lot. I just parked outside the castle grounds. No problem with a campervan. The castle was very impressive and the workmanship of the fireplaces and ceilings was remarkable. Entry €13, parking was free.
The city and the surrounding area offers a lot and you could stay here longer than half a day.
