June 25-26
Cracked 800 km today!
We spent two nights in the beach front town of Houlgate (ooolgat) northwest of the D-Day landing beaches. There was no bombing here and so the structures of the town are intact. The buildings have strange architectures, which are apparently unique to the area – a kind of faux-Tudor style with exposed wooden beams.
Houlgate – very quaint….playground for wealthy Parisiens on holiday.
A big beach. Really big.
Big old hotel – Building is a town treasure.
Boulangerie? Where?! The daily ritual of the morning baguette pick up by SO many French people and one Englishman!
1664.
Thanks for keeping your journal, it was great to see parts of France we haven’t been to. Have a good trip home will see you at the Burcot Inn hopefully in the not to distant future. Travel safely. Phil
Thanks Phil. Yes, will look forward to our next meeting at Burcott.
