jan 24 - Napoleon!

i began the run along the canal in Boulogne sur Mer on the Boulevard d'Alembert. as the town ended there was a long industrial section with a huge train yard, carrying all the goods from the port i suppose. after another round about i passed through the hamlet of Kirche with a fantastic church and then into the town of Saint Leonard, with this as a highlight:

The castle of Pond-de-Briques was the headquarters of Napoleon during the Camp Boulogne from 1803-1805. Cool!

Here I veered off the D940 onto the Rue de la Gare through the town of Saint-Etienne-au-Mont. The town is small and soon I was on the Rue Edmond Madare which is also the D940.

distance today: 6 km
distance todate: 48.5 km
