Visit Normandy – Pays de Loire - Pays de la Loire
Just as yesterday’s post was all about Provence, today’s is about Normandy. Visit Normandy – Pays de Loire is the blog/guidebook to one of the first parts of France that many of us visit.
Visit Normandy – Pays de Loire is Phil Graham’s site (he also has another site at Normandy Bed and Breakfast) and is full of tasty posts such as Mulled Wine with Calvados and Spicy Baked Potatoes (yum, yum! I’ll have a lorry load, please!) and Camembert, Normandy (yup, a lorry load of that as well!)
Now, I’d hate to let any of the readers of A Taste of Garlic think that I only think of my tummy (although that would be largely true – large being the operative word!), so I’ll also mention the very interesting post on Rouen, Normandy (have I ever told you that I once had an excellent meal at Rouen – endless, enough to feed an army, and rather tasty as well!)
There’s also some cultural stuff, like this article on Monet’s Garden at Giverny. The trouble is, those sort of articles just work up an appetite in me!
If you are planning a quick visit to Normandy (or a longer one, even), take a look at Visit Normandy – Pays de Loire first.
Hey you might even want to stay in Phil’s Normandy Bed and Breakfast?
Hey I should be asking for commission here! Then I could spend it all on a slap up meal at a nice French restaurant.
But that’s just me, I guess! Always thinking with my tummy!
All the best
