A visit to Le Pays D'Auge - A Natural Beauty
Home of Camenbert, Calvados, and Culture
Flowers in (nearly) every window.
An ancient "Laverie" a communal clothes washing basin from the middle ages which has recently been refurbished. In the old days women gathered here in the mornings to wash their clothes by hand together.
A simple country church
Country home of the local "Seigneur"... with the Seigneur's BFF in front of the place.
A real moat!
16th century home. People still live here.
In another part of the Pays D'Auge ... a traditional Normand farm from the 17th century Still used.
We stopped for a country picnic. Amazing weather, food, and scenery. (What is more amazing is there was a total lack of insects!) Horses eventually joined us from the other side of the fence as if to ask if they could join the meal. They seemed disappointed that they did not as they watched us drive away.
