Dieppe

We spent a beatiful Sunday on the coast in Dieppe. In this part of Normandy, the coast is referred to as the Alabaster Coast (la Côte d'Albâtre). We ate a seafood lunch (oysters, amandes, ray wing, mussels) then walked around town and along the beach.

A beautiful sunny day on the coast of the English Channel is not to be wasted! There was a good stiff wind, and it wasn't warm, but that didn't stop thousands of people from enjoying the clear day outdoors. There were even sunbathers on the beach. We watched a ferry arrive in port from New Haven in Britain - there were many many Brits in town having a good time.

Today it's off to Paris for a day and a half.
