I'm sure you're all tired of that warm Provence sun and the scent of lavender and thyme in the afternoon breeze, so how about going north for once?

Spent a delightful day there a few years back. I do love Cathedral towns!

Prefer to arrive mid morning or at least before noon....hit the Tourist Centre. perhaps have a cafe, tour the Cathedral and grounds.

Find a nice spot for a leisurely lunch. Then tour town, visit museum or whatever else the City has to offer, shop for local specialties ( got famous Angel of Amiens magnets...I call her the Angel with a headache!

or special sweets, other foods, crafts, liquors, etc.) , have a drink if there is time and head back to Paris....with enough time to change and have a latish dinner!

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
