I am soooo falling for the French province
Normandy...and this love is more than something new, I am in love with
this part of France since I first passed there:-) Its the unique
cocktail of cozy towns, cute villages with lovely restored colombage
houses, breathaking coast line rocks and view, yummy seafood and tons of
apples, preferably in bottle of cider!
So this year I was very happy to visit the capital of Upper Normandy, the city of Rouen. And was I pleasantly suprised that the big city has still managed to keep a cozy center with fantastic selection of restaurants, bars and local boutiques. The architecture is breathtaking (churches, the cathedrale) and there is an amazing chocolatier at almost every second corner....And last but not least: here you are in cheese&wine paradise:-)
