Slow start to get out of Paris in the rain. Then stopped for lunch at Maccas - second time in 2 weeks!

Went first to the Armistice Carriage Monument in the Glade of the Armistice . The wooden railway carriage is a replica of the one used by the French, German and British to sign the Armistice on 11th November 1918. Stone monuments were then set in the ground to commemorate the signing. In 1940 Hitler got the allies to sign the second armistice, surrendering France to the Germans, at the same site. After that, monuments and carriage were taken to Berlin and the carriage subsequently set fire to. The monuments were later brought back and the replica carriage built and installed in a special shed.

Next we went to Villers-Bretonneux to look at the Franco-Australian Museum. On to the Australian War Cemetery and Memorial, all very moving set out on the windy open ground.

Camped at a not too exciting camp, where our heavy Motorhomes made deep indentations in the very wet grass!
