Route: Saint Etienne La Thillaye - Honfleur
Distance: 20 miles
Height: 843ft ascent
Time in saddle: 1hrs 48mins
More delightful pastries from our parisien patissier host set us up for the short, if occasionally hilly, cycle to Honfleur. Honfleur is centred on a very pretty little old harbour, but is the most touristy place we've been since China:
The crepes looked disappointing compared to yesterday, the service in the restuarants was poor (so poor we walked out of a place having not been able to place an order for over 20mins) so we settled on slightly underwhelming ice-cream and sorbets and a spectacularly poor pastry!
We did manage to find a nice little restaurant hidden in the backstreets for dinner, which made for a near-perfect spot for our last supper (even though Sam was somewhat perturbed by the whelks and winkles she had to wrestle with).
