Hi, my blog is a record of our year(ish) long tour of Europe, an idea sprung on me by my husband last year. A word of warning to anyone reading this who doesn't know me, I have an inability to use one word when a hundred will do, in fact this blog is the antithesis of Twitter! It also includes EXTENSIVE use of the words beautiful, pretty, nice, gorgeous, tasty, lovely and wonderful amongst others! I'll attempt to use some different words occasionally to ring the changes.
Journey to Verdun
Ooh! That’s one snazzy looking church.
It’s enormous and it’s actually a basilica called Basilique Notre-Dame de l’Épine.
then it was back to the van and on with the journey.
Ooh! Lucky motorhomer, he’s part of the convoi!
There were ornate balls and cones along the central reservation in this town.
We’ve found a lot of narrow lanes during our travels.
War cemetery.
Memorial to all the people who died here during WWI.
The wooden cross memorial on the opposite side of the crater, dedicated to everyone who died here.
Standing in front of the wooden cross looking across the crater to the War Memorial.
Entering Verdun. Pretty tulips…..
A row of white stone statues as we enter Verdun.

Leaving Saint-Florentin. Not a vehicle in sight, superb.
Beautiful countryside.
Ooh! What’s going on here?
Stopped for a convoi exceptionnel at L’Épine, and it certainly was exceptionnel!
