Falaise and William the Conqueror

Storming the gate.

Oh, someone forgot to close it, so we walked in.

Bill and the Castle in the fog. 

The last time we were in Normandy, the castle of William the Conqueror was closed for restoration.  It was high on our list of places to visit on this trip. The day we chose to drive over started as rainy, but quickly turned to a light fog.  The closer we got to Falaise, the thicker the fog, until we were driving very slowly so we could see what was in front of us!  The good side of the fog?  No one else was dumb enough to be out and about, so we had the castle pretty much to ourselves!
