This morning it was peacocks and storks, this evening it is trains and traffic! Still, I highly doubt it will stop us sleeping.
We did not dawdle (much) this morning, but set off after using the services and arrived at the Cité du Train before 11:00. A wonderful museum - a bit confusing in the first hall, but the second one, which was a much more straightforward affair, was fascinating, telling the story of French railways down the centuries, from the first tentative efforts to today's TGVs and Thalys. They also told you when the various locomotives and/or carriages had been taken out of service, as well as when they entered it.
By the time we had finished it was definitely lunch time, so we went back to the motor home and ate, and then the Swan Whisperer went to the Electropolis next door, which I think he found interesting. I had a nap, instead! After which we drove up here to Thann, where the parking is free and there is an interesting street of shops to be explored in the morning! But it is a bit noisy!
