St-Cast-le Guildo to Camping-Car Park Frehel, Pleherel-Plage

 Tuesday 28th May

Rather a dull day to explore the small town of St-Cast-le-Guildo, so time well spent in a cafe for lunch.  We ordered gallettes again - this time served in a completely different way - and just as good as St.Malo.  Need to click on this one to read the significance of the bottle!

Mine is veggie - no sausage!
The huge church at the top of a steep hill.

 Beautiful stained glass windows.  Young Jesus helping carpenter Dad.

Pretty house on our way to a footpath that followed a stream through woods back down to the seafront.



 

Wednesday 29th May

 A grey start again today, but after some shopping moved on via this picnic area at Pleboulle eat our lunch and have a short walk



then  continued towards Cap Frehel.  Staying a night at the CCP at Pleherel-Plage.  An afternoon walk to the beach, still very cloudy,
but by the time we'd climbed up the hill onto the lookout point, the sky and the sea had changed colour.
Back down, we sat for a rest by this ancient chapel.

We've only been moving on a few miles each time, but tomorrow we plan to go a huge distance - 34 miles!

Auberge Val du Cesne, Croix-Mare, Normandie

 Sunday 19th May 2024  Today we travelled to Tenterden (our home town before Horsham) to attend the closing service of the Methodist Church we attended for 15 years.  A shame it is having to close but it has seen a lot of life and that was celebrated.  After the tea we showed Natalie the secret garden behind the building that was the library in our day.  A memorial garden and a very peaceful spot. Then on to Canterbury to the Park & Ride for the night.  Spent a lovely evening catching up with (very old!) friends from Bridge.  In fact Ann and Barry were our first real friends when we moved to Canterbury as newlyweds!   Monday 20th May Dover - Calais ferry this morning, then driving south into Normany.  First stop is at a France Passion.  the nearest town is Yvetot, but we are in the heart of the countryside in the grounds of a beautiful Auberge.  As it's been a lovely sunny evening we cooked our own dinner, enjoying the view and our close neighbours - the donkeys.  We could have

Camping-Car Park at Conde sur Vire, Normandie

Image
 What a grey day!  There was quite a lot of rain in the night at the Auberge, but dry this morning to set off again.  Did a lot of shopping at LeClerc on the outskirts of Yvetot, then motorway to the Pont de Normandie, which wasn't looking its best. So today we've come to the small town of Conde sur Vire.  Although it was dull and drizzly we still had a walk around the town this afternoon, finding our first geocache of the holiday beside the church! The building in the middle of this picture is the disused railway station and our van is to the left of it.  The area around the station is now a park, but a single track is still there, with velorail and pedarail contraptions, which we assume can be hired for a ride in high summer. We thought we'd continue our walk by following a path to the river Vire - passing this tree smothered with mistletoe when we got there, but some road repairs were going on over the bridge so we had to turn back!  Hoping for the sunshine back tomorrow
