We arrived in Toul on 5th July and have decided to leave the boat here while we come back to the UK for Kev & Nic's wedding. We have some friends here so it was great to meet up with them again. They took us to the sound and light show at the cathedral which is amazing.
Toul is a medieval town with the old ramparts still intact and a huge cathedral. We've both found it really difficult to get our bearings here for some reason. Usually we pitch up in new town and orient ourselves pretty quickly - but we still keep getting lost in Toul!
I had hoped to spend a few days working on my tan but the weather has not been kind to us since we've been here - lots of rain. It even rained for the most magnificent firework display I've ever seen, on Bastille night. The display was co-ordinated from the ramparts with the cathedral in the background - very dramatic!
Nancy is nearby and was home to a flourishing art-nouveau movement at the turn of the century. I caught the bus into town for a visual feast at the Musee de l'Ecole de Nancy +, of course, some serious window shopping.
