| Taking a turn in Tournus |
Day 1; got up late, left at 10. Stopped for lunch at Orange, walked past the amphitheatre 2000 years old, seating for 10,000 and still used. The neighbour saw Dire Straights there, must have been a nice atmosphere!
Stayed in Tournus, a pretty town on the river, overnight.

Day 2: more driving, stopped at Nancy and its picture perfect town square. It was a pottery display day. The boys got a chunk of clay to squish for a bit. We watched a man showing kids how to use a potting wheel. They killed cups, and he'd rescue them.

| The cathedral at Metz |
Got to Metz at 6pm. The appartment is in a roof space, spectacular and huge. The kids took the double bed in the loft and to their excitement. We had a broken sleep worrying about them falling down the wooden stairs in the night.
The bannister is held by 2 bodgy screws. Ollie managed to pop it out, but did not go all the way through it. There's a drop on both sides. We tried out the jacuzzi, the boys yelling "oh, it's a bubble bath!!". We economised by skipping bath the next 2 nights.

Day 3: scootered around Metz all day today, cathedral, fortifications and gardens are v. nice. Ate at a typical place for lunch, the Dauphine, v.v.good and packed.
