Normandy vacation - Day 1
We love the Normandy region of France and keep returning to visit different areas. We were lucky to have sunny and hot weather for the 4-day holiday weekend (Ascension). Drove 2h 45 m west of Paris to stay just outside the cheese town of Livarot, renting a holiday cottage on a 16th c. cider farm. The countryside was beautiful and the cottage was very rustic. Lunch outside at a roadside restaurant with pâté, duck, apples (regional specialty), champagne, wine, and regional cheeses (camembert, livarot, pont l'eveque).
Onward to the farm, some soccer outside, a quick rest, then into the town of Vimoutiers for dinner with some artisinal flatbread pizzas, vegetable lasagna (Alex), and blackberry sorbet crumble. We all slept very well!
