When visiting Honfleur in Normandy it is compulsory to take a picture across the
little harbour in the middle of town. I
promise you – absolutely everyone does.
The pic up top is my own effort.
As you can
see it is unbelievably picturesque – almost hurt your eyes beautiful.
It is worth
visiting Normandy just to experience this.
But we also managed to get ourselves lost in the little old town and
ended up driving down the weeniest streets (in a much too big rental car) and finding
ourselves seemingly hopelessly enmeshed in a one way street system. A little stressful but one way to see the old
town I suppose.
According
to Google Maps, Honfleur is a 2 hour drive west of Paris. The town is full of restaurants – we chose
one not right on the waterfront – trying to go for one frequented by locals and
therefore less pricey. One of the
challenges for me in French restaurants is managing to avoid eating the bread
(which is yummy) while waiting for you meal.
Kills the appetite. I am not sure
why bread before meals is so popular.
Au revoir!
