Au Revoir Normandy – Home Again.

After two weeks of fine weather, scrumptious food and great company, we left our gites in Normandy yesterday morning and finally arrived home here in Wales at just after 1.00 am this morning. After such a great holiday it’s difficult to look back and pick out the highlights because there were so many – but I’ll have a go.

Normandy was a brilliant location to visit with a variety of attractions to suit everybody’s taste from ancient monuments…..

to modern history,

from picturesque chateaux……

to resplendent cathedrals,

 

from beautiful coastlines……

to rolling countryside,

and a selection of foods to suit all palettes.

 

We spent a fortnight travelling down the long, straight and mainly empty French roads,

visiting castles, lovely small towns, museums and [much to my delight] cheese factories, but we could have spent much longer as there was so much more to see. Normandy we will return!!

 

The gites in which we stayed, Domaine de la Hamberie, formed a perfect base for our adventures, being located only 5 km from Falaise. This was a charming little town which had all the facilities that we would want plus a couple of incredible museums and of course William the Conqueror's castle.

The gites themselves not only provided plenty of room and all mod cons for 17 guests from around the world but also had the added bonus of the play barn. Here many a happy hour was spent by the children…..

…of all ages!!!!

An added bonus was the ability of all of us to share a table each evening and recount our adventures of the day or merely pass the time away with memories of previous happy holidays.

 

A great location for a great holiday, have a look at their website which gives full details.[www. hamberie.com].

There is one thing that changes a good holiday into a great holiday and that is the company that you are with, this was a GREAT holiday.

Thank-you all for travelling from all over the world but most of all thank-you Lorna and Patrick.

Now where next?????????????????????????????
