Saturday called for a trip to the market. It was amazing to see all the vegetables, piles of beans then cheese, honey.
We also looked in the local shops, we found an upmarket Epicerie. Wow, all the spices, candied fruits, soup and then the wine cave. Not seen one like it.En savoir plus

Barfleur

We cycled 7.5 miles up the cost to the next village of Barfleur. Another beautiful fishing village. Fish comes straight from the boats. Lunch was Mussels and grilled Sea Bream.
Sheltered from the wind it was lovely and warm. The ride back was past some lovely properties and then along the coast. We will sleep well tonight!En savoir plus

Had a couple of days resting. We have now come into Brittany for some warmer weather. Staying on the edge of the Gulf of Mobihan in Southern Brittany. Quiet sloping site. Easy cycle into Vannes through the pine forest and up the river on dedicated cycle paths. What a lovely place. The part wall old town has a lovely feel and was so easy to walk around. There are also lovely gardens near the ramparts.
We had a lovely 30th anniversary meal then a bit of shopping. Excellent day all round. So many photos taken today as around every corner was a beautiful view xEn savoir plus

A trip to the market, wow much bigger than La Vaast. Love all the colours and the variety. Great basket stall as well. Also have a fish market and an indoor market! Brilliant!

This is a small spa town that reminds me a bit of Buxton. A bit tired and not a lot here. Site is lovely and a 10 minute walk into town. The spa is closed ! Not a spa you can just use though. Ok for the one night.En savoir plus

Jour 14
Amiens
23 septembre 2022, France ⋅ 🌧 18 °C
Well we arrived at the site mid afternoon in light rain! The first for a while. We cycled into Amiens along the Somme, it was a lovely flat ride about 4km.
Amiens is dominated by the Cathedral, the largest gothic one in the world, it was amazing and the carvings were beautiful. The were other great buildings like the clock tower and law courts. Then we wandered through Saint-leu which has smaller tributaries of the Somme running through it like little Venice. Very pretty.En savoir plus

Sunken Road Cemetery
24 septembre 2022, France ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
Our last stop in France was an emotional one. We stopped to see Chris’s uncles WWl grave. It is small cemetery near Arras down a small lane so we had to walk the last km. So well kept. Each headstone is carved with the regimental badge. There us even a visitor book but we forgot a pen.
Good bye France and thank you xEn savoir plus
