....and the French!
Just spent the afternoon/evening at a Wine Expo here in Lyon where I was given free entry and thus free access to 100s of different wines (hic!) Evidently I bought far more than I could carry so I found the home delivery service where I made a new friend who, on discovering I was English, gave me the delivery for free (30€) took me to his friends stand where I basically drank the equivalent of a bottle while trying all his wines (one at 32€ a bottle) then to his brother in law's food stall where we sat eating some of the most delicious fois gras and cured duck.
I now have 3 new friends and a possible side-business venture :y

Sounds like you've had a really tough hard working day, but somebody has to do it. :y :y :y

I'm always nervous going to France, as some catastrophe always happens on the way home. If you hear of a ferry sinking in June....

Passing near to Lyon on your travels per chance?

Steer clear of Paris though. To quote a Breton I met yesterday. 'It's the arsehole of France' ;D ;D ;D ;D

we did Normandy 70 years ago. :)
The cemeterys are worth a good look, but the ones along the western front put it into perspective.

Aye, that's why we're going. Respect has to be given to those who lost their lives so we could have one :'(

I love France and need to revisit it again sometime soon. :)
