Well here we are, we caught the 9.35 am ferry yesterday from Dover to Calais and then drove to Honfleur in Normandy which is a medieval port on the West Bank of the river Seine as it meets La Manche, commonly known as the English Channel. There is Harfleur on the East Bank and Le Havre (the port) between them further out to sea. It took us about 4 hours to get here with a picnic stop and a bit of a detour at the end when we missed the turn off on the motorway but with excellent driving and even better navigation, we made it. We have set up camp here for a couple of nights at La Briquerie campsite, Equemauville, as the weather is so sunny and warm. This morning we walked about half a kilometre down a very busy little road with no pavement which was scary but then onto quieter roads to the Bois de Breuil which was a beautiful old 12C wood and walked for a couple of hours. We learned many interesting facts from information boards such as Yew is called If in French and aspen is used for matches (allumetes) and paper.We drove into Honfleur, which is a busy, beautiful old port and had a slow lunch then back about 3 for a lazy afternoon and evening.
