Plans changed again mainly because it was chucking it down when we awoke this morning. We had planned to go to an aire we visited last year in a lovely beachside location, but its loveliness really relied upon decent weather. So we decided to go to Honfleur. Again, somewhere we visited last year, but a bustling town with lots to do. When we got to the aire it was packed and was a case of one out one in, however after a short wait we got a decent spot with a view across the water and boats.
We had lunch, Jo went for a run, I went for a cycle and Amelia read her book. Feet up for a bit with a cuppa before heading into town for a mooch round. It was very busy, but on the harbourside we stumbled across a great band playing, and spent a while watching a strange bunch of middle aged musicians hamming it up for the tourists.
Decided that although it is a very attractive town it is massively over commercialised and in fact a bit of a rip off (€8.00 for a large beer on the harbourside!). The aire was completely rammed to the point where people were struggling to get out, and the waiting time to access the service point was over an hour! We think we have seen enough of Honfleur now and don't think we will need to visit again!
Aire €10.00
113 miles.
