Decided to stop off in Buchy just north of Rouen last night as Tonka mentions it as an option en-route to Spain. We are normally tearing through this area heading south but decided to look at adding to our normal stops of Bay de Somme and Cite d'Europe as we are only heading to the Loire.
On finding the Aire beside a school about 4 o'clock we had a choice of a football field sized car park and found the Bourne so parked up near that, popped into town for a few drinks, nice poorish typical French rural village - 20/30 shops.
Returning there were another couple of vans. By about 7 in the evening some cars started to park up beside us and I thought, quiet spot, couples...
Apparently there was a dance music rave which I happily slept through until they all started to leave at 0330 so banging of car doors and tooting of horns. The music carried on for another hour and it is now quiet with sporadic voices only left and clearing up of equipment at 04.47 Not particularly bothered as we met up with our son the previous night at 0230.
How did this happen? There were no posters displayed. The couples arriving were middle aged 30-50's and it went on all night. Something like this in the UK would have had car park attendants; posters and does anything like this go on after midnight. Think that is the final scream and car at 0452. Nope another one - more horns.
Ok back to sleep - if that final car with its engine running and toot of the horn could now go. Nope 5.07 now and still an engine running and let's toot our horns to say goodnight and more chattering.
Bit of a surprise and Viva la difference etc.jsut the last thing we expected.
