Not much to report today. We had a leisurely morning before heading to the Liberation Museum in Cherbourg. It was way up on a hill, so the view of the port was gorgeous.
It was a relatively small museum but had a very nice display and it is free on Wednesdays so that made it even better.
One of the rooms had displays of objects used in everyday life during the occupation from June 1941 to 26 Jun 1944.
After about 45 minutes at the museum, we headed to a small fishing village on the Channel, Barfleur. According to Wikipedia, it is one of the most beautiful villages in France. I didn’t get a picture of the village, but here’s one of the small harbor.
Here’s one Wikipedia had of the village.
We’d brought our sandwiches to eat for lunch, but it was very windy and a little chilly, so we decided to save them for dinner and have lunch at a small restaurant in Barfleur.
After lunch it was a 40-minute drive home where we watched the 6th Harry Potter movie. We’ve been watching them since we visited Alnwick Castle in Scotland last month. Only one more to go; we’ll probably watch it tomorrow.
So that was our day. Not exactly an adventure but we enjoyed it. Tomorrow we’re going to do even less. It’s time for a rest day before a hectic Friday when we take the car back to Paris. I may get out of my jammies…or maybe not.
No dessert?
No. We were too full. Did you see the size of those meals? I hadn’t had a calzone since Italy in 2019. It was very good.
