“ Alençon lace or Point d'Alençon is a rare technique of needle lace-making from the town of Alençon in Normandy in north-west France and is often referred to as the ‘Queen of Lace’.”

We have started on our return journey back home and will be catching Le Shuttle tomorrow morning and are staying overnight here in the same gite we used on the way down to the Loire Valley.

We stopped for lunch at one of the services along the A28 autoroute where I saw this example of Alencon lacemaking on display, so blipped it.
