From Brussels to La Giro

As Vicki noted, yesterday was mostly a travel day, as we left Brussels early and headed south.
I love all the doors, like this one on a 15th century belfry in Cambrai:

Here is a close up of the mechanical bell tower that has been ringing since shortly before I was born.

As for a photo of the macarons, my apologies - there is no photo. They weren't around long enough.

 
On the way down, we also saw evidence of France's energy program. While they are increasing their use of alternate energies, nuclear energy is still the primary source - around 75% of their energy is nuclear. They can even export electricity to their neighbors.

I can't report much after Rouen. Vicki took the wheel and my eyes were either closed or my life was flashing in front of them.

Then we arrived at the Dalles. Voici l'entree....

And the house itself. Our room is the one with open windows, second story on the left.

Incroyable!
