Spectacular dawn sky over the sea.
Left the camp and drove along the beach road to Gold beach(English landing) and then to Juno beach(Canadian) but weather so horribly wet that we hardly got out of the Boomer to read the info boards
.
Drove east towards Paris. In sharp contrast to the start to our day, stopped at Giverny, home for many years of Claude Monet . So glad we decided to detour there. Such a lovely place, and the gardens were spectacular. You could really imagine the artist sitting painting beside his little ponds, covered with waterlilies. Managed to dodge the rain, although pouring again as we left.
Drove on and arrived in Paris!! Reasonable campsite, about 20km out but near the train to the city,
Giverny then Paris.
