Stay:Toul- motorhome parking €7/24hrs, free service point N48.6766 E5.8850
We started the day with a walk through Liverdun medieval quarter, set up above the Moselle River, offering some nice views.
We then drove to a Narbonne Accessories store in search of a few motorhome parts. Next was a Decathlon store to buy a game of Palet from Brittany.
We had no luck at Leroy Merlin trying to find a ladder and a water tank tap, so we filled up on a few food supplies and headed off to Toul. This town is situated along the Moselle River and was fortified by Vauban.
We park up near one of the gateways and next to the port where pleasure boats are moored.
We had lunch and did a few chores while it rained.
A man’s job is never done...cleanest toilet ever.
Later we walked through the fortifications via a passage way and veered towards St.Etienne Cathedral with its twin towers high above the town’s rooftops.
It’s facade is a masterpiece of flamboyant Gothic architecture. Unfortunately most of the statues were missing.
Inside was huge and undergoing some restoration works with the central roof having been done along with some of the stained glass windows.
There were some interesting gargoyles in the large cloister and a great view of the cathedral.
We also popped in to have a look at St.Gengoult. We were then lucky enough to get a look at the free museum before it closed for the day. It had quite extensive exhibits on the local history.
A few tapestries
Some religious robes
A couple of rooms on war.
Beautiful ceramic tile heaters
There was a great ceramic display
Farming equipment
And some nice paintings
Then it was time to call it a day and we returned to Bluey.
Not far from Paris now...counting down the days to the end of this years adventures.
