初日2つ目の美しい村にしてこの日最後を飾るのは、ピカルディー地方の「Gerberoy（ジェルブロワ）」。前に訪れた「La Roche-Guyon（ラ・ロッシュ・ギヨン）」から距離はそう遠くないのですが、一般道をひた走るということでやっぱり少し迷ったりはしましたが、それでも2時間ちょっとで到着しました。
Oh, by the way, we passed through a village called Giverny on the way, which is famous for being the motif of Monet’s painting. I remember that there were many tourists there. I just passed through it for the time being, but I tried to review the video just now to see if there was any left, but there was none. What was I doing…?
Well, I got to the village safely, but this village was also a little difficult to find a parking lot. I found a space like this around the exit of the village and parked.
Now, let’s take a walk around the village. This village is really rustic and different from La Roche-Guyon. There are no splendid chateau or fort. It’s really just a walk.
There are no splendid chateaus or forts. You really just walk around.
I thought to myself, « Finally, this year’s tour of beautiful villages has begun. This is the kind of trip I wanted to do, you know. No guidebooks, no particular places to see, just an ordinary, simple village.
Well, I didn’t book any hotels on this trip except for the first and last one in Paris. « I think on the spot. On this day, I decided to stay in Rouen, a city in Normandy. I’m going to that city anyway. (To be continued)
