Etretat

 Day 1 of the car hire.  We drove from Rouen to Etretat in our Citroen 208. We always seem to rent a car larger than what we need.  The cars always seem so large in small French towns. The seaside town was a favourite of Impressionist painters and Parisians who built large villas there in the late 19th century.  We did some promenading before heading to Bayeaux. It seemed like a good idea at the time to switch off the toll road function on the map app. We ended up in an industrial port area with the only way across the river on a barge. We took the barge and anyway that was free but we decided after that to just pay the tolls!
