OUR PERSPECTIVE

Introduction

We are often asked where we really like to go in the area. Here are a few addresses where we return regularly: restaurants, cafes, markets, grocery stores, cellars or small places that we spontaneously recommend to our loved ones when they come to visit us in Normandy.

Not necessarily the best known. Just places where you eat well, where you feel good, and where you like to come back
