We are not great church visitors but thought we would just nip inside the impressive St. Etienne cathedral. An elderly gentleman informed us politely that the cathedral would be closed in ten minutes - perfect for us and enough time to admire the fantastic architecture and stain glassed windows.
The mediaeval city of Meaux is famous for two things, mustard and Brie so a visit to the well presented museum was a must. The very helpful young people in the Tourist Office kindly put the English version of the video on for us, which explained exactly how the cheese was produced but nothing about the mustard. We bought a little pot anyway!
We lunched well in a good restaurant called L’Ardoise, then strolled back to the boat via the supermarket where, after some searching, Skip found and purchased some Brie de Meaux.
Not too much activity in the afternoon as it was very warm - in the high twenties but thankfully, with a good breeze. Lazy evening too - just TV and bed.
