Two locks and 18km and we arrived in Soissons. It is a large town with one old story that seems to run and run. The great 5th century warrior Clovis (thought of your ted – Hana B!) got a little bit upset with one of his soldiers who had carelessly smashed a sacred vase. Clovis might have needed anger management. His unfortunate soldier needed superglue (and not just for the vase) - Clovis sliced him in half!!!
Anyway, Soissons is devoted to the vase and it appears in the form of topiary, flower arrangements on roundabouts, bar and restaurant names, postcards, etc.
Luckily we did not break any of these items during our visit.
