Relaxing last day

So we'd planned a bit of shopping in Cambrai for the last day. When we got up we realised something was amiss, the hotel was in eerie silence and the building site nearby was empty.

Set off to Cambrai and are lucky to find a park in the square outside the main church where armed police and soldiers are on guard as lots of people make their way into church.

A quick Google reveals its all saints day, a public holiday. Most of the shops are shut, happily the wine merchant is open for a few purchases!

Moulin a vent and St Emillion, Chardonnay in a 5l box!

Lunch in a nice brasserie before a wander and head back to le Cateau, taking in another war cemetery.

Come nightfall all the restaurants were closed so a quick bite at the taco takeaway followed by a bottle of wine from carrefour in our room.Läs mer
