Let’s start with the obvious. Looking back on my one week of traveling around Normandy, it was not enough time. We came for the history, and of this there was plenty, but it was the landscape and food which enthralled me. The more I saw of Normandy, the more I loved it. Getting around Normandy is easiest done by car, especially since there are so many places along the coast and in the countryside you don’t want to miss. In any case here are some more impressions of Normandy, which didn’t find a place in my previous posts. Yours, Pollybert
