Bayeux Part Deux
One of the highlights of our visit to Normandy was our stay at le Manoir d'Herouville, a charming 18th century stone manorhouse located southwest of Bayeux. Our spacious rooms included throughly modern amenities such as terry robes and comfortable four-poster beds with down comforters and exquisite bathrooms with deep-soaking tubs, towel-heaters and glass-enclosed showers. The delightful owners, two sisters and their husbands, prepared the most delicious breakfasts for us each morning and even gave us a tour of the property. They were extremely welcoming and thoughtful towards Spencer laying out a duvet in his port-a-crib and providing us with a baby monitor in the evening so we could read downstairs by the fire. We wished we could have stayed even longer.
Ozzy, who hails from Austrailia, is one of the fixtures of the property. We'd never seen a rooster quite like him. His feet even have feathers. Ozzy is rather bold, coming right up to us and attempting to peck our shoes. He seems captivated with his reflection in the photo above.
Over Grandma's shoulder, take a look at the working water wheel in the town center of Bayeux.
Have you ever seen a brochette presented like this?
