After spending the night at the museum and communing with the spirits of Harry, Pistol, Nym, Bardolph, and Mistress Quickly, we pressed on, back to the coast and the resort town of Le Touquet/Paris Plage, one of the older famous beach resorts. Vicki has become quite enamored of Belle Epoque beach architecture, be it mock Medieval, Flemish, Art Nouveau, or whatever. Our stay was truncated, however, as a squall came up, quite cool, wet and windy.

Very old-style; surrounded by old forest with many walking
paths |
 |
| Mock Medieval |
 |
| Street scene |
 |
| Ditto |
 |
| At the beach; all kinds of amusements for the kiddies |
 |
| But the squall is on |
 |
A younger building here, actually Art Deco, with
a pop-up, is getting fixed up: a fixer-upper/popper-
upper; or, a fixer-popper-upper, if you're into the
whole brevity thing |
 |
| More Belle Epoque mock something or other |
 |
The covered market, which might have been
mistaken for a misshapen train station |
 |
| Mock Disney |
 |
| The Mairie |
 |
We drove some of the near residential neighborhoods--imagine
something that is a blend of Pebble Beach and Atherton,
only not in English; pretty nice though |

Are there a lot of Brits who live in this part of France? We are always amazed at the numbers of Brits who own homes in France, particularly farther along in Normandy and on in Brittany.
