Night time in Amiens Center


The famous Cathedral and La Vieux Beffroi. I went with a colleague who is also new and training two nights to eat in Amiens. The first place we went to was a great local Bretagne Creperie. The second place came highly reccommended but was more pricy. Good but not worth all the hype. More a place to go for business which I will go back next week for a dinner with the PTC. Amiens is a lovely town with canals running through part of the town. The call it the 'Venice of the North" which seems to be used everywhere...

Road Trip to Berck sur Mer and walk in Foret Hesdin




It was a little beach town. Not as fancy as Boulogne sur Mer but very nice to just go to the beach and only 35 min from where I live using country roads!

All I have from Italy...


The only pictures I had time to take were of my hotel room. I am so sad! The town we stayed in, Portogruaro, was so cute but I was only out at night rushing to dinners and stuff. Next time...

Montreuil sur Mer






Montreuil sur Mer is a old town where the "haute" part is up on the hill and surrounded by an old wall. They have cobblestone streets and very narrow one way streets. Very cute and scenic with nice shops!
