We left Paris by train this morning and went to Lille to meet our new
friends, the LaPointe family. They have a beautiful home which is
everything you think of in a French Chateau. We had a nice French
lunch on their patio and then drove to Calais. It was a bit too hazy
to see the cliffs of Dover today. We also went to a museum nearby.
It was an old Batterie built by the Germans during WWII. They built
several along here because they believed that this was where the
allied attack would come from. It was full of interesting artifacts
from the war. We spent a lovely evening at their home after our day
out. The LaPointe's have been very generous hosts. It has been great
to see Victor and Agathe again and to get to know the rest of the
family.
