We left our vacation rental in Barfleur on a Saturday morning, which also happened to be market day. This merry-go-round was the first thing we saw when we left the house.

We spent most of the day in and around Chettehou until we could check into our next accommodation at 4pm.

The guy on the ladder is street art.

The sign ‘1041km -> Erlabrunn’ signals the distance to its German sister city of Erlabrunn, which happens to be in my hometown area of Franconia (northern Bavaria).

The best way to spend a lazy afternoon is at the beach collecting sea glass.

This was our rental home, a former cider farm house. This living room used to be the place where horses (real horse power) turned the stone wheel to mash the apples.

As usual, I enjoy the mornings sitting outside the most. Our little back yard had a creek, a waterfall (old water mill) in the back, and the biggest hazelnut tree I had ever seen.

This vacation rental was a bit off the beaten path, and you needed a car to get around (the other one in Barfleur was in the center of town). It was worth it.
