France & Spain


I have just returned from a road trip through France and Spain with my sister Marg for her 50th birthday.
We arrived in Paris for 5 days then hired a car and drove up to Normandy staying at Bayeux, then across to Le Mont-Saint-Michel to Angers, Rocamadour, Barcelona, Monaco, Annecy then back to Paris to fly home. OMG what an amzing trip.
I cannot begin to tell you what we saw and which place was my favourite.
One of the highlights of the trip was the Bayeux Tapestry. It was created in the 11th century, is the only masterpiece of its kind in the world. This embroidery is over 70 meters long and 50cm high, retraces the history of the conquest of England by William Duke of Normandy. It's a must if you are ever in the area.
Here are a few photos from our trip.

We put a lock on the main bridge with our name and date.
