I have organised some tours by WallyTours. The ship's tours are sooo expensive now. Le Havre, St Joseph's Church was spectacular - over 100m spire with hand blown antique glass squares that had been designed in a colour palette to show off seasonal shades & mixtures at different times of day & season. It compared favourable with Sagrada Familia. It is built of concrete in a brutalist style. It commorates all the dead at allied hands in preparation for D-day.
Went In to Bilbao for a WallyTour. Not the greatest of days as it's a Spanish national holiday & all shops, cafés etc closed. The Guggenheim gallery is a stunning place on the river bank. Picasso sculpture exhibition, large steel structures, a Japanese interactive mirror room & Gilbert & George also on display. Bilbao looks a nice place to return for a short break.
