Langres, early risers

We decided to get up a little earlier for us today, as we knew it was going to be a real scorcher of a day.

We had checked the map of Langres out, and decided to start the walk around the ramparts just behind the tourist office, until we were level with Diderot’s statue, where we knew we could get some coffee.

We were rewarded with some stunning views across the valley, and darting swallows that seemed to fly just over our heads.

There was lots of information about the town displayed as we strolled around the ramparts, and we were suitably impressed by the little funicular, which you could take from either the bottom car park, or the one half way up.

Now that’s how to encourage people not to drive into a town.
