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 ...

We have pre booked tickets on ...

Le Havre was flattened during WWII but has been rebuiltin a very Communist/Stalin kind of way (Huge concrete structures) The 'Eglise St Joseph was incredible. Looked like a Greek light house from the outsidebut when inside the exposed concrete walls and ...
