Verneuil sur Seine and Versailles

We arrived in Verneuil sur Seine, about 40 minutes drive from Paris, on Sunday 9/8 after trying to find a spot at two other campsites around Paris. We’ve found a good one though in that the location is convenient and the price is good. The campsite is quiet and set in amongst lots of pine trees. Next door there is a holiday complex with a large swimming lake, cafe, restaurant and leisure facilities. We had dinner there on Sunday night as we didn’t have a great deal of supplies with us and we thought most local shops would be shut. On Monday 10/8 we drove to Versailles (thoroughly enjoying that we can start and stop the van as we choose) to see the palace. Turns out it’s shut on Mondays but we had a good opportunity to walk around the massive grounds and gardens on site. We spent a few hours enjoying the sunshine and views before we headed back to to the van (we plan to check out the palace later in the week). After that we went to a local shopping centre for a bit of a look around, returning to the van with a whole heap of stuff we hadn’t set out for (and the item we had looked for - shoes for me, we went without). We had intended to go to Paris today (Tuesday) but we’re a bit tired from yesterday’s long walks so we’re tidying up the van and relaxing today before we hit the city tomorrow.
