Torigni sur vire Day 2

Ah, the smell of the French market! The cheese eating surrender monkeys sure know how to display their wares al fresco. We purchased a selection of breads & fine cheeses here. The kids then bought some bubbles and proceeded to disgust the locals with their unbridled pursuit of fun. (See below)

After purchasing the fromage we descended down the back of the chateau
where the kids could stress test the playground. No crazy golf or pedalo action today as it was a national holiday...

After the playground fun we took a leisurely stroll around the lake, admiring the impressive stone wall. I regaled the boys with tales of walled cities and marauding Vikings/Picts, and when the history lesson was complete we came across a brief histiore of the wall. My lesson was a lesson in not listening to ones parents, less rampart, more vanity project; as it transpired that the wall was built to protect the aristocrats from the wind!

Everyone else went back to the car and the big fella ran back.
