Le Tréport Beach

Pebbly and surrounded by high cliffs, the beach at Le Tréport is typical of the seaside towns along Côte d’Albâtre.

Hotel Trianon

Apr 8, 2020.Reading time less than 1 minute.

On the upper level of Le Tréport, we noticed these stairs. They looked out of place, surrounded by a stunning vista but seemingly going nowhere. It turns out that they were once part of Hotel Trianon, a grand hotel turned WW1 British Military Hospital. Later, during WW11 the German forces bombed the site. All that […]

View from Above

The fishing town of Le Tréport is split into two parts; one being at sea level and built around the area where the Bresle River meets the ocean – and the other being on top of the striking white cliffs.

Le Tréport Funiculaire

Apr 6, 2020.Reading time less than 1 minute.

Take a (free) ride up or down Le Tréport’s funicular, which joins the upper and lower parts of the town. The ride, at less than 2 minutes, cuts through a tunnel in the cliff on a 155 metre long track. I’m sure that fans of the Scandi-noir styled French cop drama Witnesses (or Les Témoins) […]

The Meditation

Mar 17, 2020.Reading time 2 minutes.

Times are scary. Unpredictable and stifling with a dose of terror. Many people are turning to different types of self care to offset the negativity. Like meditation, for example. Personally, meditation hasn’t ever worked for me. My brain hasn’t figured out how to shut up.

The Trees Are Alive With Music

Mar 16, 2020.Reading time less than 1 minute.

I’ve got a couple of really exciting trips planned for the coming year. They’ll inevitably be cancelled though, because of the impending apocalypse COVID-19. In my attempt to avoid people (surprisingly easy for a non-peopley person such as myself) I’ve been spending time going through my Google albums. I found this short clip of a […]

Thursday Doors – Bayeux

I thought it might be fun to take a look at the same door, from both sides. You may recall seeing these grand doors from my B is for .. Bayeux Cathedral post.

Étretat

Mar 1, 2020.Reading time 3 minutes.

Étretat, located on the Upper Normandy Coast of Northern France, is a great place to stop if you ever find yourself in the area. The scenery is stunning and the town itself is filled with adorable buildings.

E is for .. Les Jardin d’Etretat

Feb 28, 2020.Reading time 1 minute.

While based in Bayeux, we decided to take a day trip along the coast in our rental car. One of the stops we made was in Etretat to check out the beautifully manicured Jardin d’Etretat and its quirky face installations that I’d seen online. An added bonus was the view of the famous ‘Needle’ rock […]

B is for .. Bayeux Cathedral

In this installation of my biweekly Alphabet series, I’m sharing with you some photos taken at Bayeux Cathedral – or Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Bayeux.

Voyage sur la Route, Part Deux

I’m back with more photos taken on the road in France last year. Again, in no particular order.. I love buddy to the far right, gazing over his shoulder without a care in the world.
