Wolverhampton-Issoire campervan trip (December 2019)

On the UK side, to Dover

On 22–23 December (2019).

• 
  Last preparations in Wolverhampton.
• 
  Julia lecturing Aston.
• 
  First coffee pause.
• 
  Arrived in Dover; our view for this night stop: Dover's castle.
• 
  1st dinner in the camper.
• 
  Our camping spot in the morning.

To Calais

• 
  In the Ferry.
• 
  Dover's castle from the other side.
• 
  The famed white cliffs.
• 
  And its familiar light-house.
• 
  A first time view for Julia though.
• 
  The beach of Calais.
• 
  Un Bourgeois de Calais.
• 
  Julia's favourite part of Calais.
• 
  L'hotel de ville.
• 
  De Gaulle and Churchill following Julia into France.
• 
  Église Notre-Dame, where De Gaulle got married.
• 
  So this statue and company actually makes more sense.
• 
  Manège sur la place d'Armes.
• 
  La tour du guet.
• 
  Inside the hotel de ville.

Beauvais

• 
  Back to the camper.
• 
  Time to go to sleep.
• 
  Our camping spot in Beauvais.
• 
  With this (zoomed) view of the cathedral.
• 
  That is the overall view.
• 
  View in the morning.
• 
  Musée de l'Oise (which we did not visit).
• 
  The cathedral (which we did visit).
• 
  Phone picture.
• 
  Detail of the astronomical clock.
• 
  The interesting media companion, zooming the little statue seen on the top right of the clock.
• 
  Julia (mysteriously) praying.
• 
  and commemorating?
• 
  A tall church indeed.
• 
  Ongoing works (with Elena resting).
• 
  Contrasting the reality (model) vs the planned (pictured) project. The spire is the most shocking shortcoming.
• 
  Back to the camper for the merienda.
• 
  And in the same evening, finally, in Issoire.
