We took a tour to Mont St-Michel and visited the Canadian museum at Juno Beach.The museum, in the shape of a maple leaf, pays tribute to the Canadian forces who landed on D-day.

It's wonderful to see it on a sunny day -- and to see that courtyard, which I know very well...it's now a B&B but it used to be the biggest mansion in town, built by The Royal Botanist when he retired from the Versailles court just a few months ahead of the Revolution. He was able to save his neck by keeping to his garden in Bayeux, bits of which still exist in this B&B's backyard. It's a delight to sit there, in the evening, with a glass of champagne, in the quiet when all the tourists and day trippers have gone, and listen for nightingales. <br />Vivian Swifthttp://www.vivianswiftblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-86764416081413243382013-06-05T11:06:56.820-04:002013-06-05T11:06:56.820-04:00Bonjour Carol.

Of course, this being Carol's blog, we got a lot of extras: Pâtisseries, street scenes, fashion advice... A fun read, merci. PS: "D-Day jam" made me smile. Since nobody in France ever refers to June 6, 1944 as "D-Day," but instead of "Le Débarquement," I can tell who the shopkeeper's target audience is... :-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle) French Girl in Seattlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14347995356689205203noreply@blogger.com
