Another day trip, this time to Caen, former capital of the Norman Dukes. In fact a lot of the city was destroyed in 1944 but there are still some impressive monuments remaining. It was not the most exciting city we’ve been to, but a pleasant day out.
 Highly detailed upper section of the Basilica St Pierre |  It’s easy to see why the old buildings are crumbling |  Love the gargoyle and interesting to note that it has a layer of lead on the top side to prevent it from further decay |
 Former Abbey, now Town Hall, impressive |

I think it would be such fun (for those who like mucking about in water) for modern houses to have gargoyles or water features to brighten up rainy days.
