Our 1st night in 🇫🇷 France. Lovely walk on the beach to unwind. Dogs loved it. 😍 Buffet tea and camped on the sea front.
Lovely day exploring. The town hall was magnificent. Opposite was a park with a massive WWll bunker. Loved the statues of the 6 burghers. Citadel, where the English laid seige to the French in 1346.Read more
After a quick walk into Calais we set off to Lille. Long drive on the back roads. Parked in the center and walked into the old town. Just beautiful. Little Street cafés everywhere. Went into EgliseRead more
Parked on rue de Foch! This is a memorial statue to the Focher. Great atmosphere 👌. Just before we arrived we saw lots of Commonwealth War Graves. Must have been heavy fighting around the area.
Went to see Hero's Square in Arras. Spectacular! Dutch architecture. Wonderful to walk round the corner to a fantastic vista. Beautiful weather. 😍
We saw the cathedral from the road and decided to stop for look. So glad we did! A medieval town high up on the only hill.
Inside the Notre Dame de Laon Adagio for strings was playing.

Hmmm! Very busy city. After a long drive it was a bit tricky! Tried to stay but couldn't find anywhere suitable. Found a perfect spot in Taissy 10k outside. Looking forward to a good 😴 💤.
Eventually found a lovely place for our over night, just by the canal. Very peaceful and a good dog walk.
We went on the hunt for the Knight templars. A huge forest but no buildings left standing.
Troyes did not disappoint 👏. Amazing Tudor buildings with a cafe culture.
Wonderful Cathedral of SaintRead more
