A weekend trip in Lyme Regis for The French Lieutenant's Woman
Lyme Regis, a charming seaside town, boasts stunning Jurassic Coast views, historic Cobb Harbour, and fossil-rich beaches. Its quaint streets and friendly atmosphere make it a delightful getaway.
So everyone can stay together, I have booked all the rooms in a charming hotel in Lyme for the weekend. It is the social side of these trips that everyone enjoys the most, so that way everyone can stay together in one place.
For the book, we will read and discuss The French Lieutenant's Woman by John Fowles, set in Lyme Regis and made famous by Meryl Streep.
