Bayeux in Normandy

From our home base in Chettehou, we got to visit small villages, big cathedrals, empty beaches, and full restaurants.

Here we are in the city of Bayeux to pay a visit to the famous Bayeux Tapestry at the Musée de la Tapisserie de Bayeux.

Bayeux Cathedral

It is a beautiful town, and also quite touristy with many gift shops, cafés, and restaurants.

Next is my favorite part of the day – exploring dinner choices. Here I had green asparagus with salmon and mushrooms in a creamy sauce.

We had dinner at the Hotel Restaurant La Chaumiere in Chettehou. This is an excellent place to have dinner, I can highly recommend it. Calling ahead for reservations is also recommended (Tel: 02 33 54 14 94, siret/location code: 408 581 098 00022 APE 551A)

Before we went to dinner, we also visited the Normandy American Cemetery, located on a bluff overlooking Omaha Beach. I will share some photos from there in my next post.

Strasbourg in February

We spent another weekend in the Alsace region, and as usual, we spent Friday night at a hotel in the center of town.

From the Hotel Cour du Corbeau, it is only a two-minute walk over the canal bridge to get to the flea market on Saturday morning. This time I found only one little treasure (a wooden display case of preserved butterflies). My favorite little coffee shop nearby had also closed its doors for good. We ended up at Starbucks instead. This has been only my second visit ever to Starbucks – once at the Tokyo Airport, and now in Strasbourg.

With a rather light load in my  flea market shopping bag, we took a stroll around and explored some streets we had never walked before. We were also on the lookout for a nice pub to stop by after dinner.

… and here we are entering the courtyard to our favorite Hotel – the Hotel Cour du Corbeau.
