We left Noirmoutier early at 07:30 for our longest drive in France. The destination has changed to Caen since the LLW needs to minimise the time without internet access. The hotel we have booked in Caen is very central and in a good position to get to the ferry quickly in the morning.
A stressless journey and just after 12:00 we were approaching Caen and with the help of the SatNav easily found our way to Hotel Le Dauphin and Le Spa du Prieure; quite a mouthful.
A cycle ride was in order whilst the LLW danced with her documents! The centre of Caen is very attractive but on this occasion was in a bit of a mess because the powers that be have dug up most of the roads in the centre to lay new cables and drains. It certainly made cycling very difficult but it was good ride along the river Orne, part of the Caen/Oustreham canal and even alongside the racecourse.
Time to think about dinner and as is often the case, Monday is a day when lots of restaurants are closed. However, brasseries are usual open and one within reasonable walking distance has been identified. Will let you know later how good it was!
