Nancy – Neufchateau – Chaumont – 28 July 2011

We had breakfast and left the hotel at about 8.30.  Found our way out of Nancy without any trouble onto the open French roads.  Stopped briefly at a large supermarket just outside Neufchateau and bought 3 bottles of wine.  On arrival in Chaumont we found a parking space right outside the Office de Tourisme on one side of the street and a hotel on the other.  Booked into Hotel des Remparts at 94€.  Tony’s head still not right – has taken 2 Anadins. 
Brief wander around Chaumont and then back to the hotel so Tony could sleep.  It rained the rest of the afternoon so we updated the blog and made plans for the evening.  We ate at a local restaurant “L’Affiche” where Tony had turkey salad followed by rabbit with rice and Jane picked at a lamb kebab with a jacket potato. 
Every year in Chaumont they have a “manifestation” of poster and graphic art so all around the town there are examples of this type of “affiche”.

This tower is really called this!
