The
view from our window in our B&B in Chenin du Panorama,
, Duclair, France. This was the view out the window, of
the Seine, about 10 miles north of Rouen, about 50 miles
from English Channel. This was taken about 9 pm, and about
a dozen boats passed while we stayed.

La Jacotière: Two miles from Mt. St. Michelle. Farmhouse
and working farm. |

La Thiaumerie in Near Saint Lo. where we stayed two nights.
Run by English couple with two rooms to let. Enjoyed one
of best meals here on Sunday night prepared by host. This

nothing to be heard at night.

In Honfleur,
we stayed at a small hotel. Instead of the main building,
we stayed at the carriage house, which was 18 levels up
the hill. Most quiet for being in the middle of busy town.
