Normandy staycation

During the "summer" months we prefer to enjoy the delights that Normandy has to offer and save our more far flung travels for when the weather is not so good.
We like to take what we call "staycation days", visiting local beaches, exhibits and the like.


We always enjoy eating outdoors 
but sometimes even the best laid plans go awry
 and we end up drinking our coffee and nibbling on a croissant or two inside the car 
instead of on the beach.
Luckily the weather was fine yesterday
 and we were able to enjoy a delicious lunch of moules & frites 
at a popular seaside bistro.

    What a wonderful idea. There is always something to see at home that we don't visit because we live here!! Will keep it in mind! Thank you!

    Hello Maggie, your meal looks delicious. Hubby and I have often had a picnic lunch inside our car. A great idea to have the staycation days!

    Enjoy your day and the new week ahead!

    Yes we all could take a lesson... there is often much right in our own areas that we have overlooked... Staycations are great! And less costly!

    I prefer staying home during much of the summer, too. It's the most beautiful time of the year here. Moules and frites beside the sea - perfect!

    It has been lovely here, indeed! And your photo has convinced me to purchase les moules at the market tomorrow! Miam, miam! :)

    I've always liked staycations in the summer as I don't like to stray too far from our gardens. Your lunch stop looks delicious.
    Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday Maggie.

    In the car, on the beach, in the cafe. I dine in Normandy any time. We do a lot of staycations here. I need to get out more. Have a great week.
