Last day - and with the threat of a long bus drive + ferry trip + bus drive looming - we spent the morning stretching our legs in Honfleur. Didn't look like much from a distance, but it was a pleasant little harbour commune. We picked up a map at the tourist office, and climbed up a nearby hill to get a view of the Honfleur bridge. Completed in 1995, and crossing the Seine, this massive bridge measures over 2,800 feet at its longest section and is 1.3 miles in total.
We made our way back through the narrow streets with their slate-covered buildings, beloved of Cezanne, Monet and other Impressionist artists.
Of particular interest was the Sainte-Catherine church, the largest church made out of wood of France. A real point of difference from the millions of stone churches we've seen!
It also has a nearby freestanding bell-tower.
Farewell to the scrumptious, mouth-watering, effervescent and refreshing cider.
