Saint-Vallery-sur-Somme, France

It's Wordless Wednesday time again!

I live on the south coast of England in what is known as 1066 Country. It's the place where William the Conqueror landed and fought the battle of Hastings.

I thought it would be interesting to find the place in Normandy from where his fleet of 776 ships set sail, and so last week I crossed the channel to the medieval town of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme and had a look around.

Honfleur France

For Wordless Wednesday

I took these pictures a few days ago in the beautiful harbour town of Honfleur in Northern France. I last visited 20 years ago and only one thing has changed - the harbour used to be surrounded by art galleries and artists, but now restaurants have completely taken over!
