Étretat, Honfleur, and Normandy here we come…
Eventually Pamela and I and 2 kids met the guys in the parking lot. The sun broke through the gray clouds for a few moments! We quickly enjoyed a run on the beach and the sights before heading off to Honfleur for dinner.
Once in Honfleur we headed straight to a cozy, quaint restaurant, Mamie Louise, known for fresh ingredients and burgers. Getting all 9 of us seated was no easy feat, however Randy’s French probably sealed the deal. The burgers were absolutely the best ones we have EVER had.
“Honfleur takes particular pride in its Impressionist roots – Claude Monet’s mentor Eugène Boudin was born in the town, and Monet and his contemporaries would often set up their easels at the Ferme Saint-Siméon on the hill above Honfleur, to capture the beautiful light of the Seine estuary.”
Finally after dinner we loaded the cars for the last trip of the day, our Airbnb near Omaha Beach. We packed a ton into this day. The remaining days will be packed too. I enjoyed watching the kids hanging out and caring for each other. Adult conversations and long time friends was the perfect way to start April off in France.
