We decided to stay put when we were told there was to be a festival. Kev did boaty stuff and I cooked a mammoth fry up for lunch.
I lolled about catching up on my book club reading until late afternoon when I decided to explore the town. There was a market in full swing, a band playing and lots of people about. I bought a hugely expensive pineapple (€5!) and some cotton trousers for chilling in again €5!
We stopped at a bar for a customary beer and were soon part of the celebrations.
The folding bikes caused a lot of curiosity too.
At around 11.30 the fireworks started. I stayed with the dogs in case they freaked out but Kev went to see and took my camera.
Today we are definitely on our way to Givet.
