Another day of unbelievably beautiful weather greeted us in Cherbourg where we went on our first shore excursion Tuesday.
We toured of the West Coast of Normandy. Our first stop, the small village where painter J.F. Millet was born. Next, Port Racine, the smallest port in France named for the playwright who lived nearby.
We had a photo op at a lighthouse and climbed a Norman heath from which one could see several islands belonging to Britian.
Mom spoke for a long while with our tour guide who lives in the middle of Normandy with her boyfriend. She said their ritual was to come to the restaurant on the heath, and have a crepe with the wind rushing by. It was clear she was passionate about the area.
