254. Inn in autumn colors.


Also in Hachette, near the crossroads with the train, there were there is a place where the trains stop, you can find this little tourist café. With a terrasse. There were there is only forest and a few houses the trein stop only two times a day. A good place for those who want to go to the forest with their bicycles. In this café you could eat also for years the Tarte au Maroilles, a salt cake with the cow-cheese of the region the Maroilles. This cheese is very fat and has a strong smell and taste. Nowadays in this old inn you can only drink but no more eat.

253. At the edge of the forest : the railway crossing.


The autumn is going to an end. The trees are becoming yellow and red. This is the crossing from the railway with the train Paris-Maubeuge (old line of Paris-Amsterdam and Paris-Köln- Berlin-Moscow) with the road coming out of the forest of Mormal from about which I wrote this last days, and going to Landrecies, another town of the Avesnois.

252. Crèmerie or Milk shop on wheels.


In Hachette a little village which is on the South-East Side of the forest as shown below, you can see a railway bareer passage with the old barreer-guard house (there lives a man who had to pull the barreers up and down, but now it is all automatic) and before it, I had the chance to see this car of a milk shop on wheels. With its funny drawing of a cow. The dark traces on the truck the shadow of a sapin.
I have forgotten to say the whole forest in on the territory of the village of Locquignol, which although a small village in the middle of the forest, is the largest village or town of the department Nord for its width and length of territory.
