It would be around 1978 on the caravans. I was at school with Mark - Globepalm
just think you may have set a few chairs away from me having a meal many years ago,a lot of Brits would stop for coffee and pancakes at the Creperie,one the way up or down from the Cherbourg ferry,there was a dangerous series of bends and corners,that by now will be a truck ban on,or shut for good.
North of Le Mans the Shell garage was a regular pit stop,on the way for the Ouistreham ferry,big dog there,friendy staff that could knock up steak et frites,or a sandwhich,the dog was Elgor,skinny lad in the bar that was in to cycling,the owner lived there with his girl friend or wife.
