Verbindingsrit naar Honfleur met uitgebreide tussenstop en Etretat. Over de smalle 'départementals' , door kleine dorpjes en uitgestrekte landbouwzones. Men kweekt hier nog veel vlas. Bij ons staat dat al in het vlasmuseum. Of doen ze het hier voor de papavers, want het staat vol kollebloemen. We staan nu geparkeerd op de grote MH-parking van Honfleur. Verleden jaar in september waren we hier ook al. We komen dus ook al eens graag terug waar we het al kennen. Misschien is het nu wat minder druk. Zien we morgen wel.... read more

I have to admit, this entry is only about smiles, family, a cliff, and an amazing golf course! This is the last stop of our little French trip. I have to admit, we have been so lucky with the weather. I told the girls before the trip...we need to get ready for Summer in Brittany. It could be rainy, windy, and fairly cold. Instead of this, we had gorgeous sun and warm days most of the time. One more time, we drove the back roads from Bayeux to Fecamp where we are spending our last night together. We crossed a huge bridge above La Seine, the well-known river passing Paris all the way to Le Havre. We didn't spend much time in Fecamp, our goal was few kilometers on the East, the cliffs of Etretat. I ... read more

Notre dernier but : aller jusqu'à Etretat car faudra bien rentrer pour mercredi soir... Nous décidons donc de faire un bref passage à Etretat avant de prendre la route du retour et profiter encore de beaux paysages... La pluie est tombée toute la nuit mais au lever s'est heureusement arrêtée... Ceci nous permet de nous promener donc un peu dans Etretat que nous connaissons bien entendu, mais qu'il fait bon retrouver... Et sur le chemin du retour nous voici maintenant sur la route des pommes de terre ! on en récolte partout ! Puis nous voici à L'abbaye Notre-Dame-du-Pré de Valmont, primitivement appelée Sainte-Marie de Valmont, est une abbaye bénédictine située dans la commune de Valmont en url=https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seine-Mari... read more

"If I were to show the ocean to a friend for the first time, I would show them Etretat" We left the hotel this morning a littl elater than we wanted to as we are getting a bit tired, so we slept in a bit. We then proceeded to drive about 400km from Gent, Belgium to Etratat, France. Where is that you say? Only one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. It is not more beautiful than lets say Jasper or Banff, but still very beautiful and unique compared with Alberta. I am sure you would see a lot of this type of thing maybe in Newfoundland or Nova Scotia, but I have never seen anything quite like it. Essentially it is limestone cliffs on the ocean with a picturesque town on the ... read more

Or Tales of Attraction, Obsession and Madness After spending a couple of fairly rainy weeks in Paris during the last half of February, I was ready to get out of town for a bit. We had chosen to stay home during "vacances" and had pretty much exhausted our "things to do when it is rainy" stand bys. We went to museums. We went to Parc Disneyland. We even found a "Mickey" stage show that was at the Grand Rex. But after two weeks, everyone was getting a bit irritable. So, when Julien suggested a weekend away, everyone was up for it. Originally, we had planned to do a bit of a "castle tour" of the Loire valley, but re-thought that when we realized how long the kids would have to be in the car. At age ... read more
