Fontoy, France

Day 26     Thursday, September 25, 2025

Another quiet day, but I do venture out. We drive 15 minutes to a nearby town to do a bigger grocery shop. The store Bob has been going to in Fontoy is limited so we are going to a big E.Leclerc grocery store.

Traffic circles often have interesting displays in their centres.  This one has flags from many European countries.  There are a lot of traffic circles of all sizes in France and Belgium!

After 1 1/2 hours shopping we spend €104 for two big bags of groceries, which seems fairly reasonable. This  store is huge and it takes a while to find all the items on our list. Heading home, the countryside is pretty but it is cloudy and still raining on and off.

This is just down the street from our apartment, which happens to be right beside train tracks!  Luckily the windows are very soundproof and we barely hear the trains at all.

The plan is to drive to Metz tomorrow. There are a couple museums we want to visit.
