Visited Normandy this month for the first time.

[CurtEastPoint]

Beautiful land, wonderful people. Tons of history, both recent (WWII) and past. One amazing part was seeing the Bayeux Tapestry. No photos, of course but what a treat to see this 1000 year old piece of art.
So... some of my favorite shots and places. Go and enjoy France!

Can you spot the ten people in the photo?

2. Wow! These are spectacular!

In the first one, I see a few people on top of the cliff and a few more down on the beach; they are too small to count!

Really really wonderful pictures. I've been to Normandy but we saw different places and I wasn't shooting digital then. Your stained glass picture makes me drool!

I gotta get back there.

4. Maybe I'm seeing things, but I think I see 9 people in first photo.

[CurtEastPoint]

5. No! I think you're right! In the shadows... good catch! Plus I just zoomed in and there are TEN!

7. I've just been looking through your blog.

Lovely photos! So many memories. My husband and I spent a month in France--
driving all over--on our honeymoon in 1985.
All my photos from our trip were destroyed in our house fire in 2007.

9. Oh, that's a shame. You picked a great place to honeymoon! Chocolate time..

Now this cracked me up. I took it w/my phone in a HyperU (kinda like Walmarty/Targety). And ENTIRE AISLE OF CHOCOLATES! And not crap chocolates! I took another one I shared on FB of another entire wall of WATERS! My friend in France asked me why I took a photo of water. I told her that in the US we have about 3 feet of water. And entire wall! ooh la la!!

10. Le chocolat! Je l'adore!

15. as I read this post, I thought ahead wondering if you had a shot of the water aisle. Or desserts

6. Merci for sharing your beautiful photos.

Mon beau-frère vit en Normandie. It is a very interesting and historic area with so much to see. Welcome back to the country of boring bread, cheese and cidre.

8. De rien! Cidre! I discovered (!) 'hard cider' there

and went yesterday to the Farmer's Market (excellent booze section) and could only find American hard cider so I bought a four pack. Glad you enjoyed.

14. I have planted 2 apple and one crabapple after visiting.

Stop by in 5 yrs and see what I make. I never got to Rouen, alas, but it looks wonderful.

Thank you!

12. Magnifique! You really did it up. I've seen the Normandy memorials, the Loire, Bordeaux

and the Dordogne, Cannes and Nice, and Paris a few times. Last time en France was 2003, always want to return for more!

16. Beautiful photos!

I've never been to Europe and probably won't ever have the opportunity, so I appreciate these photos immensely.

[CurtEastPoint]

17. You all are more than welcome. Nothing makes me happier than sharing these joys.

18. Inspiring!

We're going for 3 weeks next month. We're going to Normandy, too.

Thanks for posting these. It just makes me more excited!

19. You will love it. Love the scenery, the food, the people.

I wish I had more time to go further west past St Malo (which is a WONDERFUL town!)
Have fun!
