Hon Fleur, Day 10, part 2. May 03, 2012

After we left the market, we checked out of the hotel and headed to our next ancient city, Honfleur,  a seaside village right out of the middle ages.  It had a church that was struck by a bomb in WW2 that failed to explode.  The Germans sunk every boat in the harbor in 1944 as they were in full retreat from the allied forces.  The picture of the statue represents the "mussel women", gatherers of mussels, a backbreaking job. We stayed here on Thursday night.  Tomorrow we head for Versailles as the trip is rapidly winding to its conclusion. There was also a two story carousel in the city along with more narrow, cobblestone streets lined with shops, restaurants, hotels, and ancient buildings. Harry bought a French hat and now looks like a Frenchman...pictures to follow.
