From La Roche de Guyon we drove on to Lyon La Foret, the next Beau Village. Not without incident: our brilliant SatNav, Tom, routed us into a parking lot and then a now-pedestrianized street in Giverny, where we scattered a number of pedestrian tourists before finding our way back the proper road. Lyon La Foret is indeed a beautiful little village, surrounded by old forest. In addition to being beautiful, it has an
aire de camping-cars, which was our principal interest. We spent a bit of the evening walking its main street and encountering several items of interest, the many old buildings, the beginnings of a town
fete marking mid-summer eve, and another old building, where Ravel resided for the composition of a couple of his biggest hits.

| Main street; just about everything half-timbered |

| Watch Cat |

| Ravel house |
 |
| Paella? Really? In the Seine-Maritime? |
 |
| With pepperoni? |
 |
| Neat place; beau village |
