Every time I come up France the weather always changes after Rouen.
North of Rouen it's just like England.....dull.
I went back to Wissant to get pictures of the second story of the graffitied church there.

& these are some bits I found west of Calais. First off I found a well weird cemetery. Those bells are large.

And up the side road was this

Open bunker 03 inside by Infraredd, on Flickr
Don't know what it was for - too small for artillery & why does each of the 6 rooms have a blast door (now gone)
There were many other bunkers & pill boxes because they are the remains of the Atlantic Wall. I found the bunker converted into a museum.

Then a short distance away I found a similar derelict one.

Looks like a sound stage from a '60's festival.

Maybe not

Why the French have to put their names on everything derelict I just don't comprehend.

This is how it could look after a makeover

And finally some places defy understanding as to why they are derelict and some don't
