Rouen has a couple of sites of interest and historical significance.
It has some very old Cathedrals and an Abbey, but also it is the place where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake. I recall doing an essay on Joan of Arc back in college days so it was interesting to see this, and I expect we will encounter some more sites relevant to her in the Loire Valley next week, so this is an interesting historical figure to connect with in different locations on our trip.

The architecture of the old churches is incredibly impressive. Interestingly, the church at the Joan of Arc site is a very recent, modern building, which is in stark contrast to the others. It was built in the 1970's and is in the shape of her helmet, so a very unusual design.

We left Rouen after lunch heading for Bayeux - located close to the D-day landing sites of World War 2. Darryl decided partway through that we'd give the Toll Roads a whirl. We'd watched a video so thought we were fairly well prepared. We found a tollbooth with the green arrow (meaning cash), and drove in. Due to the configuration of the campervan (protruding wing mirrors and back body wider than drivers cab) we couldn't get close enough to do anything from inside the vehicle, and had to get out. It took our money easily and gave us change and opened the barrier - no issues and we continued on happily feeling confident. The second tollbooth wasn't so great - it wouldn't accept our money and we couldn't work out why. In the end we resorted to using the intercom help - in which they spoke to us rapidly in French that we couldn't understand. They must have done something though as the cash slots started working, and our money was accepted.
We made it to Bayeux without further incident - finding parking was a little more frustrating, and in the end we opted to choose a passion france site and call it a day. We ended up at an Apple Cider Artisan- a nice relaxed site in a paddock with apple trees, just what we need. A tasting of a variety of apple drinks from juice through to a liqueur was a great way to finish the day. Our host spoke minimal English so it was a chance to try out our French - we managed fairly well, with some assistance from Google Translate. As it turned out he was selling his motorcycle, and also liked Triumphs so we had some things in common. With a few bottles to take away we settled in for the night.
Sarah: There were Clydesdale horses in the paddock next to us but Scott scared them away.
April: The best Apple juice I have ever tasted, but I picked up an apple off the ground and a 2inch long wasp was in it that gave me a hell of a fright.
Scott: I did not scare the horses away. The apple juice is better than Coke.
