As a history major in college I took a class trip over spring break and one of the stops was Bayeux. We had to eat at a gas station on the road in from Paris because apparently the bus had to stop according to EU laws they can't drive long distances without rest breaks for the driver. We got in late and most restaurants were actually closing for the night so we walked around the town which was unusually warm for mid-March, talked to an absolutely incredible older gentleman who said he was originally from the town and was sent away during occupation and had recently moved back and said he tried to personally thank any American he met for saving France, even all those years later. The hotel staff had Bayeux cider cold for us when we got back in for the night before bed, had wonderful breads, croissants and cheese for breakfast. The Camembert was absolutely creamier than anything I've ever had in the U. S. Lunch was in Ste. Mere Eglise as part of our tour, lunch did have specific hours but we were all very surprised to see mostly American menus. A bit disappointing for sure but understandable given the amount of tourists they must get. I hope I can get back, beautiful countryside, shoreline, and people.

This is one of my favourite points about traveling, THE FOOD TASTING: )
Me and my wife love to taste the traditional dishes that you're used to eat at home but have never had the real deal haha
Normandy is definitely one of the places on my bucket list (i guess i am a bit obsessed with anything connected with WWII, don't really know why actually)

Don't be fooled by the prices of the brandy or cognac in France. In the US if you find a bottle of brandy or cognac for under $10 it is not the best quality. Not so in France. You can find quality brandy and cognac in small bottles for under 10 Euros.

Any insight on Beaujolais and Beaujolais Noveau? Yes, were months away from harvest season and Im sure someone out there wants to slap me for saying so, but I havent noticed much of a difference between the two.

Apple juice is apple juice, not cider. cider has alcohol. Its called cider, not hard cider.
Sorry to be picky but cider is too good to wrongly label.

Mark, your dining bills must be through the roof when you travel. We buy our food from local supermarkets when we travel and assemble our own meals.
