I love watching the views from the TdF helicopters and Amiens and Chartres cathedrals looked magnificent and I'd love to visit them. Anyone else love medieval churches and fancy a trip?

If you come out to France (I'm here for next few months) suggest you include Lisieux on your list (Basilica of St Theresa), recently featured on Motorcycle Adventures (YouTube vlogger).

Easy to do with a couple of (friendly) mates using Ibis Budget hotels, I had a triple bedded room in Rouen for £35 (exc brekkie), at that price wouldn't bother camping.

Accor hotels App is easy to use and means you don't really need to book ahead, unless you prefer to.

Possibly interested, mainly when. You may have done this already but look on google earth pics including the interiors.

No idea when, I'm pretty flexible. Your google option sounds cheaper :)

yes but date dependent as already out there last 3 weeks of September.

Falais church looked great but couldn't get in and there's a medieval castle opposite a council estate that time prevented a visit.

Bayeaux and Domfront both great architecture

Bayeaux would be easier to navigate on two wheels rather than four, least ways the bits of it I had to drive through a few years back.

Bern, we went to the Antique shop at Halfpenny Green and they've made a model of you. :)
