    Trip to Normandy !

    We made it to Normandy !

    Here we are inside the d’Harcourt medieval Château.




    An incredible place loaded with history and culture.






    One of the traditional houses we find here…




    Evangéline simply loves these hundred year old slabs of stone




    Next stop is in Bec Helloin , a monastery I always stop by when I visit my friends in the Risle valley.




    More to come…

    It was a pleasure and a priviledge to meet such a true gentleman, his son, daugther in law and 2 grand sons.

    Enjoy these !











    Best,

    Oh my, how I wish that I could have been there to see such grand architecture and history. That is such a sharp looking kilt outfit.

    Although I have been wondering about your kilt pin placement, and as you stand next to the sign for the Chateau Feodal I wonder why so high. To each his own and I have seen angled pin placements too.
