Caen



Our hotel in Caen faced onto the marina, and the large car parks outside were closed on the Saturday night because of the market on the Sunday morning. I have never seen a market like it in my life, it was huge and sold everything from antique (and not so antique) furniture to hair ornaments and chips. We come to that ever more irritating question of car parks again because this was yet another hotel with a height limited underground car park we needed to find somewhere else to park. Not an easy task when the vast municipal car park is closed and everyone is fighting over the on-street parking spots. It took David quite some time to find a spot but when he did it was a good one. We were parked a little to the left of where Beth is standing in the photo above, just alongside the marina and about 25 metres from the hotel - perfect. It proved to be even better the next day as it was on the right road for getting out of town without too much difficulty.
