Google maps says it is about 225 miles from Bray-Dunes to Francois’ place in Montigny-Le-Brettoneux, not too long of a drive if you stay on the motorways and make good time. But we had a different agenda, one where we would attempt to locate the farm south of Calais where I spent the weekend in […]
