Last full day in France and after packing what we could we set off back to Torigni-sur-Vire, It was nice there and there was a lake to walk round. There was also a Lidl there, for last minuet beer shopping. The entrance to the Lidl was a bit hard to find, but we got in eventually. We bought a few thing but not much and then parked by the lake, where we were yesterday and set off for a walk.
We had a short walk around the lake and checked out the town's campsite, as we had to pass it on the way round. It was only up for a short walk so we were soon back in town, this time we looked into the shops (none open yesterday) and then had a beer but in a different place. I had a senior moment in the bar, one of the pumps said EAU on it, and I almost ordered one.
Dot had wanted to visit a place we had seen advertised, an abbey with nice reflection in a lake and we knew round about where to find it. Cerisy-la-Forêt, where we had had a beer a few days previously. We drove straight there and followed the signs for the last couple of hundred yards. We parked next to an Aire and walked over for a look at the Abbaye de Cerisy-la-Forêt.
You would have to be very lucky to get the shot with the reflection we have seen of the Abbey, also I do not know where the photo was taken from.
Next to the Aire was a sculpture park, in the middle of nowhere, was a small field full of marble sculptures. Some of them were not finished and most where by different artists. It is the "symposium international de sculpture sur pierre" an annual international symposium of stone carving, is held there.
We had a final night sat outside the van, eating supper and drinking beers in the sun, before an early night, long drive to the ferry tomorrow.
U guys sure get about
