Oh, and a side wander to Rouen-les-Essarts is a bit of fun too...

Seriously, you MUST go. The Friends have done a great job to retain what is left. Sadly I fear the Wimille Grandstand will not last much longer. Spalling has exposed the reinforcement rods in the roof. Right at the back corner, and you can see water marks there as well.
So do it while it's there to be done. Just search in flickr for images, seeing as I cannot get any links to work... Last edited by Tim the Grey; 29 May 2015 at 07:51. Reason: Link FUBAR'd... |

Thx to Pascal for the tips on the Cathedrale and Palais de Tau! Was a real feast for the eyes!
Thx to Geoff for the tip on 'bistro du circuit'! Was a real feast for the taste buds! And here is a link to my facebook album of the Circuit de Reims-Gueux. Was a bit spooky, but also very rewarding. Never saw something so desolate, yet so pretty. https://www.facebook.com/vincent.sne...=3&uploaded=35 |
