Home again

Driving back across France, we arrived in Normandy and when starting to look for a hotel for the night, found one in the small town of Gace. As we has passed through several small towns who were celebrating the 14th July with fetes and were therefore jammed with visitors, finding a hotel which was open , clean and comfortable, and with a good menu was a relief. The bonus came in the form of a live concert in the square, followed by a superb firework display in front of the chateau (now a museum) A splendid, delicious way to spend our last evening in France for a little while. The weather was superb too, being warm and sunny with a clear sky.

The following day we headed along the coast, visiting Trouville with its enormous beach,Casino and a huge outdoorswimming pool, then on past Honfleur and over the Pont de Normandie to Le Havre and the ferry.
