We dined in an ordinary créperie, where they managed to get two things wrong out of the items we ordered, which I guess is actually quite impressive in its own way.
It was also at Troyes that we had the best meal out of the holiday, in a restaurant called La Table de Francois. We stumbled upon it while we were looking for a fish restaurant that we had seen the day before. Good find.
The architecture in the town centre features much timber framing, a building technique that I thought was mostly confined to Normandy.
And the ring road features some strange 3D art.
And of course there is more, including a cinema where we saw "The Martian". Fine film, and good take on the book, that we have also read.
I am enjoying following you on your travels :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about hotel owners and Ferraris that don't travel far?
Was it a red one like the permanent feature at the hotel I stay in, in Newcastle?
Gee whiz, we're talking real history here.
ReplyDeleteThis Ferrari was a "childhood dream"; so often, they turn out to be impractical :)
ReplyDeleteJales, the old buildings are genuinely old; some are propped up with a combination of wooden supports (that themselves are rotting) and concrete ones. I get the impression of a race against time.
