As you will no doubt have noticed, I have not included any photos of Le Havre. The town may well be on Unesco’s World Heritage list but the choice of building material – concrete – would not be my choice. However Fecamp, which was once the home of a large fishing fleet that used to fish for cod on the Grand Banks off the east coast of America, was much more to our liking.
One of the highlights was a visit to the Palais Bénédictine. The world famous drink is still distilled in this fantastic Gothic style building. We enjoyed a tour of the ‘factory’ along with being able to view their collection of old works of art, samples of spices and finally an exhibition of modern art – before actually tasting the product. Last night we went out for an excellent meal, in Fecamp, and enjoyed another ‘tasting’.
