Doing it the french way
We planned to stay in a campsite in Fecamp. We got there in time, to find that it was closed 'exceptionel' for one day!!!!!!
So we thought we would have a drive around and see if we could find anywhere to stop. Several motorhomes seemed to be making their way to the port, and as we had been to Fecamp 15 years ago it looked like a good idea to see what was there. From the north side of the harbour, it ...

Next we visit the house and gardens, the house has a typical Normandy construction. One room wide but very long, ...
Les Falaises Blanches d'Etretat
... side of this seaside fishing village are incredible. It has been a popular destination for painters, including Monet who made numerous trips to paint these cliffs in the 1880s.
On the East is Falaise d'Amont. We climbed this cliff during a gorgeous sunset. At its summit, there is a tiny church (Notre-Dame-de-la-Gard), with fish-like gargoyles. A monument also marks the spot where two aviators were last seen ...
