A little walk around Pavilly

So today after I got my paperwork done to open a bank account tomorrow, I went on a walk over to Pavilly to buy my groceries. It's the next little town over from Barentin and since I'm on the outskirts of Barentin, it's easiest to just walk to the Carrefour in Pavilly than to go to the one in my town.

Apparently I should be watching out for a mean dog when I walk that route!


And there's the little sign that welcomes me to Pavilly!


In France it seems that sometimes your lane just ends and turns into parking...sounds a little bit like Pittsburgh!


And here's where all my groceries come from. Unfortunately I didn't realize that they take off two hours in the middle of the day, so I couldn't buy my food right away, but I did get to take a walk around the town.


I found soy-milk and a bunch of other good food that was actually pretty inexpensive!



Pavilly has three flowers (remember from the other post?) while Barentin has only two. I could see why! They know how to grow flowers in this town. 


Here is the town hall of Pavilly. It's quite pretty, but I wish I hadn't caught it at such an awkward angle! 


After walking through Pavilly, I ended up on the outskirts where the town suddenly disappeared and all that was left was a huge green meadow. Unfortunately that green meadow was guarded by an impressive wall and gate (that was left temptingly open).  I didn't go in though, since there was an unpleasant looking sign that warned against trespassing.  It really looked idyllic. 


Here's more of the wall...


And this was hiding behind the wall...


...as well as this awesome castle-type thing.
