Sunday, Bayeux to Château de Fougères and then home.

In the morning we took a little walk along the river, it’s very pretty. Nicer day today.

After a nice breakfast at the Hotel Bayeux we took a walk in the town and then headed for Fougere.

We stopped to charge the car at a place called Rots in a vast supermarket car park, as you can see the charging infrastructure is pretty good here.

The Château de Fougères is one of Europe’s largest medieval fortresses, Pauline was keen to visit so we stopped there on the way back home. We were glad we did, well worth a visit. Nice day too.

There was a sword fighting exhibition while we were there

The bell tower here is the oldest in Europe, apparently
The town has some medieval houses still

It’s an interesting place Fougères, would definitely come back here.

When we got back there was a parcel waiting for me
Woohoo!

It was a good weekend, most enjoyable thanks Pauline xxx
