Day 14 Nancy


Friday June 23rd

Place Stanislas
Nancy is a brilliant city. History by the bucketful. Passed back and forth between French and German Dukes. It has a wonderful ambiance. It was worth the heart stopping climb last evening to experience Nancy.
I walked about a mile to  get  to the tram station payed my 1.3 euro and within 10 mins I was in the centre. Wow! Wow!

I almost felt sorry for the teachers.
It is very elegant!   Laid out in broad avenues long before  Edinburgh's New Town.

I decided to take le petit train touristique to get a quick overview of the city centre.

I had lunch here















Afterwards I had lunch right by the main Stanislav square. Bravely or stupidly we shall see tomorrow I had le plat du jour which was "beouf tartare" and a 1/4 litre of rose - delicious.


I then set off to retrace the route of the petit train to take photos.

Yet another city that I have to revisit to see it properly. We must bring the camping car here the next time we are anywhere near.

I have walked for miles today and thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope that walking and cycling muscles are different.

I have taken more photos than Pauline and that is nearly impossible! But I took mine quickly. Snaps.

They will appear just as soon as I can work out how to get them into blogger efficiently.

Nancy. Il faut y aller!

    Hi Brian, I was out with mum and Pauline last weekend and have just sat in my warm cosy flat (sorry!) eating breakfast while reading this.

    It's brilliant to read the trials and tribulations and I've so much admiration for your big adventure! So wanted to say keep going, keep writing, and Bon chance!

    Lots of love and stay strong during those hill climbs!
