Trois Beaux Villages: Lyon La Foret

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.
Town market hall; the next morning it would hold a crafts fair

Paella? Really? In the Seine-Maritime?



















With pepperoni?


Neat place; beau village
