driving through normandy





As we were out and about this weekend, we drove through some really pretty villages  and some breathtaking forest.

I thought you may enjoy a little armchair tourism, here are some of the shots I took along the way.





As we drove a little way north from here, they were less stone houses and more bricks and beams.  I love the colours used for the shutters, and the sweet fenced gardens.





The entry to the village church here was quite impressive, and the beautiful house next door, today an antique store, was probably once the church presbytery.





Take a close look at this home made gate.  Can you see all the different things that have been used to make it?    Iron plaques from fireplaces, grills, even a frying pan!






After leaving that village we got back out to open country, and came across these beautiful homes, in the middle of nowhere - so tranquil.







Hope you enjoyed this little bit of rural France to start off your week - en douceur!
