9 Peronne Camping Port de Plaisance Route de Paris +33 (0)3.22.84.19.31 April to October - The campsite was close by, well sign posted and a friendly guy named Jean-Michael was there to enthusiasticly greet me at the gates. He later insisted I took some pasta & bread off him. He also offered to wash and dry all my laundry and let me use the showers for free. It turned out he was a devout Catholic and was really pleased to have a pilgrim walking the Via Francigena staying at his campsite. DB Sep-12

12 Laon Camping The campsite is just outside Laon, very easy to find and was open when I arrived at just before 1 pm. No one was there to take any money or anything, so I just pitched my tent near the reception. Right outside the campsite was a lake that was looking stunning in the morning sun light, with mist rolling across it's surface and sunbeams bursting through the treetops. DB Sep-12

leclos.cheret@club-internet.fr “Le Clos” is the most impressive building that I have stayed in so far. It is a very large old Chateau-type mansion and is wonderfully maintained. I am in the Bluet Room and my window looks out over a park and a lake. I was surprised that the size and splendor of this fantastic old house was not mentioned in the guides. There is even a little Chapel attached to the house – clearly designed and still used, for Pilgrims to pray – which adds to the charm. Open from March 15 to October 15 JB Sep-

Patron keen on local history and will show you the relics of St Marco in the church! Excellent value - dinner was very good as was breakfast. Logi. It is now €55 for half board (€42 for just the room) for a single person or € 68 half board for a couple (pilgrim prices). Our digs in Corbeny are absolute grand compared to what we came from. The room is very clean and modernized with a new bed. We were both into the modern tub and a hot bath. Wow, we have just loved this hotel. It is difficult to leave. For those pilgrims who contemplate staying here, it has to be the best hotel yet and the best value for the money. We were told the regular pelerin menu was not available so we had to pick from the 18.50e selection. We had salads, beef dinner, cheeses from their cheese cart plus desert for 68e for the room and food. I noticed that their regular charge was 115e so he gives pilgrims a good discount. * EM HY DJ PS JB BD CD DG McB KW M Jul-14
