Normandy, France

I hope you all had a great Easter Break! Scott & I are back in Paris now after spending a few days along France's Normandy coast. We stayed in picturesque Honfleur - a small fishing village in eastern Normandy, with a lovely wee harbour and quite a creative arts scene. From Honfleur, it was easy to take the coastal road through to the D Day beaches, where we stopped off and observed the landing sites of the allies back in WW2. Normandy is a beautiful place, quiet and relatively unspoiled, with spectacular views across the English Channel - you can almost reach out from the shore and touch the UK! I was too busy admiring the streets of Honfleur that I didn't actually take any photos of the town ... but here are a few of the beautiful coast and a few of the wee villages we drove through along the way.
