We arrived at our car park/motorhone aire at 15.00. Luckily, there were quite a few spots free but these soon filled up even though there were 140 spaces. At just €15 per 24 hours with electricity, water and disposal available, this was a bargain and only a ten minute walk into town.

We hadn’t been back to Honfleur for over 20 years and the place still had a wonderful charm, despite all the day tourists who came by the coach load. We cycled, walked, ate and chilled in the 28 hours we spent there. The weather was generally kind although the evenings were definitely chiller now we were that bit further north.

We even met up with friends who were passing through for a bite to eat before we got the late ferry home from Caen. Nothing like being woken up on board at 05.15 as we approached the U.K. The drive back home was pretty good given we hit the M25 at rush hour. Back in the flat by 09.15.

A wonderful two weeks away that has whetted our appetite to spend more time in France, preferably the southern half for the warmer climate!
