Next stop Soissons

We headed south down an almost deserted A26 before leaving it to find a lunch stop on the Somme. This we did in Perronne picnicking in the town centre on the river, where Rosemary bought some frites from a 'Frites Van'. Then on to the municipal campsite at Soissins which is obviously a busy transit stop for GB and NL heading north and south. We walked along the river (Ainse) into the old town which was largely destroyed in the 1st war. There are two memorials, at either end of the main square, to the French and British who died in the conflict.
