Falaise

 We spent a few hours killing time walking around Falaise. 

A town about 30 minutes from us, Stephane has family there.  

Here are some shots of the castle there. 

Mom and Aunt Carol visited here, maybe 20 years ago.









These slits in the stone are for shooting arrows through. 





I love this shot looking down to the village where all the poor and 
common folk must have lived way back when.





This tank is sitting in front of the War Museum. 

It's been stenciled by the French artist Jeff Aérosol.

In the Chapel above, 
is the metal scaffolding and photos below. 







I love these doors on each side of the chimney.


Some great stained glass....

This is a model of a photo darkroom complete with minature glass bottles...


A section on automated figurines...
