A Spring walk and Magnolias.

 

The day started with a beautiful Sun ☀️ 

Then I was fit enough to go for a walk through the village, I did it this morning because the cycling Normandy tour is coming through the village pretty soon. All the roads are closed in the neighbourhood during two days.

This is the village chapel 💒 

Many wild flowers on my way. Lots of  magnolia from different sizes, beautiful on a blue sky. The temperature is 14C in the morning and 18 in the afternoon !

A typical Normand thatched house

And the magnolias from our garden.

I hope you’ve enjoyed the visit.

The thatched house road and Victor Hugo.

We are in Victor Hugo daughter’s house.

This is his daughter Léopoldine. He has lost his daughter who was drowned in the river Seine in front of her house.

He wrote the poem «  Demain des l’Aube » in memory of his daughter. I love this house, this is a very romantic place.

 

This is a rare picture how they make thatched house roof

Only few people can do it now. I am glad to have the opportunity to take a picture.

Hello Friends,

The weather was very bad, but we tried to go and visit one of our favorite place «  thatched houses road »

«  la route des chaumières »

The picture above is a typical Normand well.

These houses are along the river Seine.

Then we had heavy showers had to wait in the car and then find a place to be protected by the rain.

Then we found shelter in Victor Hugo’s daughter’s
