Bollywood movies, while trying out some more of the Indian snacks and starters you
prepared in the morning cookery course.

NORMANDY WALKS

The best way to appreciate the beatiful landscapes in our part of Normandy is on foot, away from the traffic fumes and noise, exploring the ancient network of footpaths, the famous grandes randonées, some used by pigrims since medieval times, perhaps journeying to Mont Saint Michel, or used by farming people before the arrival of mechanised transport.

We take you on our favorite walks through the Gorges of the River Vire, or around the Bay of Mont St. Michel, as well as in our own and the neighbouring commues. (Distance chosen according to your requirements.)

Friday:arrive after 17.00 and and enjoy a superb three course meals with aperitif, wines and digestif.

Saturday: We take you on one of our favorite walks (at your own pace!) through the Gorges of the River Vire, or around the Bay of Mont St. Michel. Picnic lunch or brasserie lunch provided depending on time of year and weather.

Saturday evening: relax with a glass of kir or a beer, followed by a splendid Chinese or Indian meal (dishes specially catered to your tastes.)

Sunday: A leisurely walk around our own commune, stopping off at our friendly local rasserie for a lunch time aperitif, then returning for a light lunch at Arts in the arden, before your departure.

All-inclusive price: €475 per person.
