Pont Du Normandie

I didn’t look behind us as we strolled fom the SS Black Watch to Honfleur. When we got to town I saw a sign to Pont du Normandie but I hadn’t realised how close it was.

I soon found out when we walked a bit west from Honfleur harbour:-

The bridge was very obvious when we were walking back to the ship but the best view was from the deck once we were back on board:-

Later in the afternoon the lighting conditions had changed. The rain clouds had gone away.

Over the other side of the River Seine near to Le Havre I could see this road bridge. Morning aspect:-

Honfleur, Normandy, France

The final stop on our cruise trip last year was the fishing village of Honfleur in Normandy, France; across the River Seine from Le Havre.
