Day one...our flights were both a bit early and we connected at CDG with out issue. Got the rental car and with Craig behind the wheel we set out for Bayeux. We had to make a few U turns, (and Craig and Merrell engaged in some ritual bickering, supplemented by Karen's back seat driving) but once on the A3, we were buzzing right along.
Arrived at the Chateau Sully, then went into town to a brasserie for lunch, and to get Craig's and Karen's phones fixed.
Then Karen and Merrell went to see the Bayeux tapestry, while Craig napped. The tapestry is 70 feet long, the biggest sampler you have ever seen. Love the story of William the conquerer, and I thought the borders were as beautiful as the primary tapestry.
We had dinner in town, at la coline d'enzo. Yummy, particularly the chocolate mousse desssert with Caramel.
We then congratulated ourselves on staying awake all day-- discounting the 5 winks during the tapestry movie-- and turned in!
