France

We caught the ferry to France last night and woke this morning to a misty, rainy and cool English/French Channel. The French were still out on their sail boats regardless!
Wild weather but the young French were out there doing their sail training.

Basically it started out being a miserable day. Had a very late morning - in no hurry to get away.
Rugged up against the elements.

Drove back into Dunkirk - still misty - and then moved onto Bergues for the afternoon and evening. Didn't get out and explore this old town - twice destroyed totally in the past hundred years.
One of the old gateway into the town of Bergues.

Difficult to believe that Bergues was once a Hanseatic League town - when the sea was nine kilometres closer than it is today!
