Evening approaches and this town gets even prettier!The lunch that I had in Cherbourg is forgotten and I'm hungry again. Now where to eat?
I decide on the semi-posh Restaurant de 7 mers, where I order "Back of Jack Dory with blabla". And disappointed I am certainly not. The pre-dinner piece-of-lobster soup definitely has Foie Gras in it, which tastes decadently good, but I'd rather do without. I don't think much of sticking plungers into geese's gullets!
The subsequent fish is amazing and even though I'm not a big pea fan, the plate at the end of the meal is almost as clean as if a certain dog had licked it clean ;-) The absolutely fabulous Rose wine or the view from my table don't hurt either!

Then it's time to walk back to my hotel.
And as a proper conclusion to the day: A sunset with wet sand reflecting the sun ;-)
And how does the next morning start? Naturally with eating. The baguette! The cheese! The view!

This definitely makes me want to visit my ancestral land! But is there any people around? It looks like a ghost town.

most of the pictures are taken at 6:00 am or at 9:00. The French are sleeping at 6 and eating at 9. The first people to show up in the morning are French pensioners/tourists.
DeleteThe streets in the 'real' city, a few blocks from the beach, are similarly affected, but like the beach, they are populated during the day. I almost wish it was a ghost town; house prices would be cheaper then. But house prices are still only a fraction of those in Wacky Vancouver!
