Ou se trouve la gare?

Saturday saw us head to France. I’ve not been since last September, so my language was a little bit mangled, but as I only had to use it in the restaurant and we all got what we wanted to eat anyway, I think I got away with it.
We took Le Shuttle, or Eurotunnel or whatever they call it these days, which is the only civilised way to take a car to France. It’s far quicker, easier and less choppy than the ferry. I’m also assuming it’s better for the planet.
So, after a leisurely breakfast we pootled down to Folkstone, ate sandwiches on the train and emerged into a drizzly, grey French day, much like it was back home. And while the more responsible members of our party spent their time making savings in the hypermarket, Rich and I spent the afternoon taking pictures in the old town.
Between us we went home with several dozen snaps, but my favourite was the last photo of the day, taken on the car deck of our half-empty Shuttle back home, courtesy of a fisheye lens.

Groupe Eurotunnel SA or ‘GET’ for short. The existing UK arm of Eurotunnel is no more. Shareholders had to exchange their shares for new ones in the French company last week. Apparently, it’ll start making a profit now.
