RVing in Europe - Calais, France

June 21, 2007

Driving towards Calais, we witnessed the beauty of rural France, farms very green and planted with crops, the great blue sea on the left side of the road, some animals and lovely French houses.  This part of France was so beautiful, so peaceful and so clean.  I like it here very much.





Mar helped a young girl repair her bike when we saw her on the side of the road trying to do something about her bike.  Coincidentally, they were both wearing red.  The girl was happy who drove home on her just repaired bicycle.




We camped for one night at Camping du Fort Lapin - camp fee was Euros18.82.  We arrived at the camp in the morning and the first thing we did was wash our dirty clothes by hand and because the sun was shining we hang the clothes to dry under the sun.



We drove around the town, went to see the beach and parked in a hotel when we found free wifi in that area.




Before we reached the beautiful farming community above, we found and experienced a street market where we bought some local produce and a pair of dangling red earrings matching a ring I bought in Paris.




Wikipedia:
The city's proximity to England has made it a major port for centuries. It is the principal ferry crossing point between England and France, with the vast majority of Channel crossings being made between Dover and Calais. The French end of the Channel Tunnel is also situated in the vicinity of Calais, in Coquelles some 4 miles (6 km) to the west of the town.
