A visit to Cabourg leaves you in no doubt that the coast here abouts deserves its name. The group were well in awe of the abundance of flowers everywhere. The wind made it a bit chilly but a visit to "Père Magloire", the Calvados (apple brandy) producer with a free tasting at the end of the visit soon warmed us up. Christian and I have passed by a number of times when we've been in Pont L'Évêque but never stopped, so this was a first for us and interesting it was too. Needless to say, the tasting
encouraged several of the group to splash out on a few bottles and we were no exception. Next came lunch out in the Normandy countryside and once again everyone was well pleased with what had been laid on. From here it was back in the bus and on to Honfleur where we were free to wander in the sunshine. Yet, another success for the organisers. For us, even though we've been many times before, it was lovely to enjoy it in the sunshine minus the headache of trying to park.
There as just enough time on our return to change and get ready for fireworks, a communal meal and dancing for 400+ people. As our contribution to the evening, some of our group did a demonstration of the Sardane .... no escape even up north!
