May 2- Honfleur

 

Today we had breakfast with Pete and Shirley before they left for home. They drive their car onto the Eurostar and it's only about 35 minutes under the Channel.

 We drove down the hill into Honfleur and found a parking spot by the garden on the outskirts. As it's a bank holiday weekend for May Day, there were crowds of people. We were lucky to get a parking spot, for sure.

  Anyhow, we wandered the streets looking for a vegetable market, but mostly found stalls of clothing and souvenirs. It was a nice wander, though.

Then, we picked up a sandwich to split and went to a bench in a park before heading back to our hotel where we spent several hours reading before going down for a meal. We took walks before and after the meal looking at the big estates in this neighborhood as well as the small chapel built in the 1600s.

Steeple across from its church!
