...if today is any indication! My glasses are so loose when I wear them that I had to go to an optician today to get them tightened which shows that I must have lost weight from around my face!
A lovely sunny warm day today with a temperature of around 25 which was an invitation to have a traditional French lunch sitting on the wall overlooking the town basin
Being Monday the weekend day trippers were not in town and so it was less busy than yesterday more so as we walked up to Cote de Grace which gave views out across the town and the La Seine and further away to the bridge I mentioned yesterday, Le Pont de Normandie, the largest cable stayed bridge in the world built in 1995 and 2141 metres long
On the way up we passed Eglise Saint Catherine which is one of a few wooden churches we have seen on our travels
inside of which were tributes to Saint Therese of Lisieux, "The Little Flower" of the Discalced Carmelite order
Honfleur is a town of quite some grace with the nautical theme and restaurants that pervade the basin, with the numerous art galleries where you can see originals works by numerous local artists some of which we would love to have been able to bring home, and the old buildings as you move away from the basin and up towards Cote de Grace
We pack up tomorrow moving on for an overnight stop in Landivy having detoured to see Le Mont Saint Michel.
