These look like animal crackers. The originals, perhaps?

Hi,
Coque is a type of clam, or a case for your cell phone, but in this case I’d go for clam, which the biscuits slightly resemble. They make good coffee “dunkers”. I haven’t run across them since the last time I was in Dînant or vicinity, but the locals swear by them. The traditions pain d’épices of Dijon is also rock hard, so there must have been a fad in the nineteenth century for long lasting coffee associated biscuits.
Cheers,
Keith

Of course I was too oblivious of the fence until AFTER I hit “post”..

The real question is more like "how did that dog get up there? ". That cliff face is really steep, like almost vertical!

Yes, but other than a large bruise to my upper left arm I am just fine. Really!!!

I will like to travel here myself someday and see if I can find this spot…

Thank you. We, well Steve really, I didn't notice until I read the blog, wondered why there were two colours of tire on so many bikes.
