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
... a small less-touristy restaurant - apple cider, moules frites for Robin and the crepe special for myself.
For a good price, we stayed in the Tin Tin room at Detective Hotel. Each room has a decor representative of a different detective. It was a very cozy and comfortable place. Its common areas even had free tea, toys, books and games.
Now, I have to see the White Cliffs of Dover to see how they compare!
