FRANCE - Monpatry

On the third day of our journey we arrived in the small hamlet of Monpatry, near Domfront in Normandy.  We were to spend some time with our Fraussie friends and their new baby girl.
The home that they were gifted with for the 'northern' summer is owned by an Australian couple, with whom Cyril, collaborates.  Over the course of seven years they have successfully restored what was once a cellar, into a charming, country retreat.  C'est bon!
 The home was surrounded by lush, green countryside.  A reminder that part of the joy of time spent in Normandy is the five C's:  Cream   -   Camembert   -   Cidre   -   Calvados   - Crepes
In total we spent four nights, with the weekend spent stomping around the Normandy beaches in search of our first Bastille Party.  Happy fourteenth of July!
