Veules-les-Roses

As I mentioned in my previous post, Veules-les-Roses was the last place I visited in Normandy. I went there with the host family I was staying with. Like Étretat, I hadn't heard of it before, but it's a village that's very popular with tourists, because it's so pretty.

When we got there, we went for a walk along the beach.

After lunch (and being ambushed by wasps 😨) we walked around the centre of the village, which was really nice. The smallest river in France, Veules, flows through the village, and that is where the first part of the name comes from. The second part comes from the fact that there are lots of roses (and other flowers) around the village.

As demonstrated by the photos, it's a very picturesque village. It reminds me a lot of the villages in the Cotswolds, near where I come from.

So the following week was my last week at the language school before returning to England. However, my travels weren't yet finished...
