Honfleur & Etretat








The forecast looks good for a few days so the tent makes a reappearance from it's recent home - the top box. The camp site in Honfleur is right next to the town centre, which is a picturesque harbour fronted by many bars and restaurants. This gives Helen her first experience of moules and frites– it won't be her last!

Another museum, another impressionist exhibition, we make a point of making this our last!

Etretat is another camping opportunity, but with the car on standby as the weather continues to be changeable. The bay is so picturesque here that it features in many impressionist paintings, and some of the pictures we saw above. Thankfully, the weather holds for what becomes our last night of camping for the trip.

The day we leave, we overhear other campers saying 'I think that's the best we've put up the tent' and smile rather awkwardly to ourselves as we seem to have uttered this expression ourselves on more than one occasion. We're sure however, that it will have been a truism at least once!
