Weathers good and its onto the D roads from Givet, through the woods and hills towards Charleville Mezzieres. Stop off at a viewpoint overlooking a bend in the river Meuse at Montherme. Think the viewpoint was called Longue Roche.
Find our way through Charleville M with only one or two wrong turns in the one way system, and get back on the D roads and follow the Meuse towards Verdun stopping at a place called Douzy for a bite courtesy of sandwiches, pizza and fruit flans from the patisserie in the square.

| Douzy - Steve not having pizza, he had a banana and started growing a tree out of his head. |
Not far is Verdun, and we're planning to stop for an hour or two to have a look at the Ossuary and visit Fort Douamont. Steve & Nige not been before and its a sobering experience for them at the Ossuary. This is Al's third visit and Fort Douamont will complete the things to see.
