April 27- onto Beuvron-en-Auge, Normandy

  

This captures why we remember, and must remember, history

Today we left Bayeux and La Maison Victoire, both of which we thoroughly enjoyed. Frank served up another sumptuous breakfast and also carried our luggage down the stairs which was appreciated.

    Mark drove through Caen en route, but just passed through. It has a chateau, castle and several large churches which we passed by. If we could have found an easy place to park, we might have walked about.

 We drove to a very small village, considered one of the prettiest villages in Normandy. We had stopped at a SuperU to get the fixings for another French picnic, this time we added some pate to it. We ate by a field by the Bureau de Tourism and we got some maps and suggestions there.

    We are staying at a very modest Chambre d'Hote in a small bedroom room off the kitchen and laundry room of a tea room run by Claire, a very nice woman who serves lunch every day in the garden in front.  Our bathroom is only for us, just outside our door. The bathroom only has a curtain.

     

 After we settled in, we took a walk around the village which has many half-timbered houses, and an area where crafts are demonstrated and sold. We stopped in shop nearby where the man makes ciders (alcoholic and non) as well as sells various edibles made in the area. He has sparking rhubarb on offer now.
