A bit of shopping, a bit of
sightseeing, a bit of reading: it’s a good life, isn’t it?
Shopping: groceries from Lidl; they
have really good fresh vegetables and the cheapest I have come across.
Sightseeing: the old town centre is
about 1 km from this quay, so I took a stroll along the canal. This is the Scarpe Moyenne (Middle Scarpe). Yesterday we tried to go up the Scarpe Superieure and we have discovered that the Scarpe Inferieure, which wanted to do tomorrow is closed at this end. The Scarpe Moyenne winds through the middle of Douai.

Then struck into the old narrow
streets.
