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 ...
Never too old to watch Tinkerbell!
What a full day today! Was up at 6 30, and running by 7. It's a great time of day, sooo cold and the light was just beginning to shine through. There is a stillness as you pound the pavement, whatching your breath routinely appear before you. It's so silent (as most normal people are in bed!!). Did a spot of yoga when I got back, before I had a shower ...

By now the sun is shining so Christophe drops us off for a walk round and we go up ...

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 ...
