(visited by Thomas Barthel)

25-May-2022 -- On the way to a short holiday trip to Paris, I took the chance to visit two confluence points. The first one was 49° North 05° East.

From the Autobahn A4 I took the exit No. 29 Sainte Menehould, passed a small industry area and traversed the A4 by a underpass direction south. Along the D 982, later the "D'Auve À Triaucourt" I passed the village "Villers-en-Argonne" 12 km after leaving the A4. After passing another small village named "Le Chemin" and further 7 km I reached the confluence-village "Èclaires". It is a very small, lovely and quiet village without any shop or gastronomy, I think. After parking the car near the junction "Rue du Moulin" from "Grande Rue" I walked to house No. 7, on which backyard I assumed the confluence point. But in this moment I saw a man inside the property of house No. 5. He was working on the pavement of the inner way. After explaining him my intention he was interested in the DCP, let me in and led me to the exact point. It is located on a mowed meadow, just in front of an electric fence. It changed a lot since the last confluence visit, eight years ago, as you can see on the pictures.

It was a easy-to-do visit, which gave me the opportunity to meet the very friendly owner of the CP-area.
