Paris-Normandy 2006

Cité Europe

We've made it to Calais already, and are currently working out how best to shop, shop, shop at the Cité Europe, a huge Hypermarket shopping centre. I know what I'm getting... do you? Any last minute requests?

We'll be getting the ferry and blogging the minute we get off at the other end. Until then, there's some serious bartering to be done - in French, of course.

Shopping Opportunity No.1

The French are well known for their markets - fresh fruits, smelly cheeses, live animals ready for the rearing / plucking / roasting, and plenty of materials with which to make fancy dress for tonight. We'll be heading off after breakfast to spend the morning in Bayeux market buying some of those live chicks (only kidding) before deciding what we get up to in the afternoon.

Just hoping that the weather cheers up a bit from yesterday's damp :-(
