LE TOUQUET

Thurs.21st.Sept.

Fine weather again so decided to go on a trip to a motorhome parts centre near
Bologne.They must have had everything except what we wanted, very helpful
young man who spoke some English, even phoned elsewhere to try for what
we wanted,but to no avail. Did not want to risk going into Bologne on the scooter
so headed back. stopped at Etaples-De-Mer ( A little fishing resort) on the estuary.
Quite a delightful little place with a dozen or so huts in a row along the front, each
one selling the catches of the day, not all of them were open, some just closing down
but managed to buy a couple of sole which were so reasonable. We found a bar/rest.
which was obviously the locals place, inside was full but sat outside and had the
Rapido menu (2x coarses for 11 euros) mushrooms to start and a beautiful steak
with au poive sauce , excellent value. We noticed a superb fish restaurant with a
fish hall underneath, for future reference.
