We got off quite early this morning. We got our rental cars, left Paris, and stopped at the Palace of Versaille today. There were so many people that we couldn’t imagine standing in line to get in, it looked like millions of people ... 🤪. We decided to try again on Sunday morning, early on our way back to Paris. We headed on to where we’re staying in Normandy.
We arrived in the small village in the center of Normandy; Broglie is the name of the village. We rented a house just outside of the village through VRBO. When we arrived we were speechless ... it is so idyllic ... like beyond belief. It is situated by a small river. Just beautiful.
After arriving, a few of us went into the town for some bread and desserts. We also got some duck terrine at the butcher shop ... which was heavenly. Luckily the kids don’t like it ... more for Jim and Kristi!
Looks like most people only speak French here, no surprise but in Paris most people spoke a little English. We did meet Paul in the town square, Jim stopped him to ask where the bakery was. He is a retired man who now lives in Broglie. He spoke a little English and was happy to recommend some restaurants. He was very nice.
We just ate, drank, and made merry for the rest of the evening. Vive le France!
