ETAPE STEP 2 / 3

Cette Manche est gagnée !

Well done,  Bravo



Some clues....
the distance from Bayeux to the sea is 7 km
(as shown on the clock  7)
14  the car number is also the number of
french department "CALVADOS"

Queen Mathilde was the queen who stitched the Tapissery


2 / Bajocasses is the name of the resident of Bayeux
(as I discovered the french word :  gentilé  for inhabitant of
a particular place : gentilic  (GB)





D'aucuns semblent préférer un petit remontant, un ptit calva ? peut-être bien que oui !
May be you will prefer a brandy ?

CALVADOS  (department)

Je vous encourage à aller visiter le site ;  take a look

for fun : quel lien entre cette fameuse tapisserie et la guerre des étoiles
a link between this famous tapissery and star wars

Aled Lewis, un designer londonien, a voulu raconter l’histoire de Star Wars sur une tapisserie brodée, comme de celle de Bayeux qui décrit, sur 68 mètres de tissu, les faits relatifs à la conquête normande de l’Angleterre en 1066. Le designer n’a pas été jusque-là puisqu’il a brodé sur 9 mètres de long. Exposé à la Galery 1988 de Los Angeles.

Alec Lewis a london designer wanted to tell the story of Star Wars on a tapissery. Only 9 meter long it has been shown in Galery 1988 in Los Angeles,  but in cross stitch!

  1. Yay, I got it right again! Your clues really are very clever. I spotted the Department number this time which helped me find the town.
    Thank you for the dedication to my blog hops too.
    Looking forward to the next puzzle.
    And I just love the Star Wars epic. Maybe I should stitch a Lord of the Rings version...
