I talked about 'meandering with a purpose' earlier today.
In the run up to Fete de la Musique 09 (June 21st), I was looking around for fresh happenings that I could share with you and instead discovered Visit Normandy-Pays de Loire which as its title suggests covers only these 2 regions of France.
If you like tourism in the slow lane, this site will delight you with gardens, castles and stately homes.
In Normandy – Loire Gardens to Visit #5 – Château de Vendeuvre (June 15), we learn that this property in Calvados has been home for the same family since 1750.
If you visit you might try to get lost in the "Maze" garden (my illustration, from Visit Normandy-Pays de Loire story) and check their tea house.
Refreshing, small town charms.
