No prizes for guessing what this is:




Anyone remember the TV show "Bread"?

Where are the French cars on this French road anyway?

It was fab, apart from the complete trauma of the local plod in Caen towing (lifting fortunately) the car away overnight on Saturday night!

There were signs up around that the square in the centre has a market on Sunday mornings so we parked further up only to find we hadn't parked far enough out (despite checking the rubbish signs twice!!). Come Sunday morning there was a market where we'd left the car.

Two taxi rides, a couple of hours of complete sillyness and

Pfft,we stopped in at my Mum's on the way which put us round the M25 a bit - means we got the Dartford bridge into the equation too - *much* cheaper than the Severn rip off!

There were signs up in the square that it was a tow away area for the market but it wasn't clear it went so far up out of the square. Phoned the number on the back of the parking ticket (yes,this was removed from a pay on foot car park!) and they told us the local police clear the area for the market, so off we went to see the Gendarmes.
