Mont Saint Michel & Honfleur....

Mont Saint Michel was a place that I always wanted to visit & once there I wasn't disapointed....it's narrow cobblestone streets lead you to the very top of the abbey for the most spectacular views...such a magical place!!!

We stayed in Honfleur, in beautiful 14th century accommodation. This is such a picturesque town with its old fishing port and this beautiful yacht harbour. I believe they have wonderful markets most days of the week....just not the day we were there!!!

I love this photo of the crystal chandelier with the reflection of the town...

Walking around Honfleur we came upon "La Maison de Lucie".... it looked as though it was straight out of a French magazine, so very very pretty!!

I had to add this photo because every time I see it, it makes me smile. My daughter and I stopped to look at this house and the beautiful garden, when the cutest little dog appeared around the corner, we remarked to one another how sweet and cute it looked, the dog stood and looked at us for a while....then he let out the biggest bark we had ever heard in such a little dog...needless to say we took off up the road very quickly having quite a good laugh.....the size of the dog does not determine the size of the bark!!!!
