Back to paris

Friday 29^th April

Of course the Royal Wedding !! 

A lovely walk around Saint Valery Sur Somme and himself got a haircut and a beard trim all virtually arranged by sign language.  We have got by very well considering we limited French.   Saint Valery Sur Somme is a lovely coastal village.

We have to return the car today back to Charles de Gaulle airport, the further south we drive the wetter it gets, about 50 kms out it is torrential and we can barely see the road in front of us.  All we wanted to do is to get the car back safely without incident and thankfully we do.  We have driven 2200kms around the countryside in France and it has been spectacular.  There is so much more of France for us to see , but that will have to be saved for another adventure.   We very cheerfully hand the car keys over, although I am sad to see the end of this time we have had together, driving around the UK, Ireland and France.  We have had a grand time with lots of great laughs, a few anxious moments but it has been really fantastic.  Himself has done a brilliant job driving around  and I am really proud of him.  We have 2 more days in Paris and then we are head off to Italy.
