The story

A long weekend in Normandy together with a friend and her daughter who, for her fifth-grade promotion, had the dream of seeing Mont Saint Michel, for her the Castle of Rapunzel. And so for me a return. A Transavia flight to Paris Orly and a car hire to follow an itinerary different from last time, which let us discover more of the Norman beauties. From the Orne department with Saint Ceneri, Bagnole and Domfront (in search of the Tower of Rapunzel discovered at Bonvoloir!), to the Manche with La Lucerne, Gouville sur Mer and the D-Day sites, to Calvados with Bayeux and Honfleur, all the way to Seine-Maritime and Eure with Etretat and Monet's places at Giverny.
