Ever decreasing circles

 As we are heading toward Caen it was inevitable we'd cross into territory we covered on previous trips. Tonight we are staying in Falaise which we visited on 31 Aug 21.

We did first have a look around Domfront which is a nice mediaeval village though currently feeling everything but mid-summary. Few shops open, and few visitors even though it is school holidays.



The unusual St Julien. Built in late 1920s in neo-romantic style, though surely there was a church there before? Check that spire!

Decorated with part-mosaics





There had to be a castle, this one belonging to William the Conk's son at one point. On the border between Normandy and Brittany, hence England and France, it saw some action.


We found a British choir practicing in here. Sounded great.
