La Baleine is a small charming village in the depths of the countryside...where the church and the chapel arises between trees and fields, the river stone bridge is just wide enough to fit a tractor and where there is a tiny shop called 'l'Andouillerie'. The mist is still covering the peaceful lanscape but the smokey smell of the 'andouilles' tells you that some people are woken for a few hours...
Villedieu les Poeles is a village that you'll remember because it's very pretty and it's the French capital of copper! Saying that, it's compulsory to visit the Atelier du Cuivre when you come here as it's the main copper pots and pans supplier of the French chefs.
Le Mont St Michel, the Occident marvel...In prehistoric times the bay was land. As sea levels rose and with erosion, several blocks of granite emerged in the bay and gave birth to le Mont St Michel. We visit this monument and enjoy the 'show' given by the famous restaurant la mere Poulard while they are making their thick omelette. And we are lucky enough to watch a few vintage cars on a rallye and take this opportunity to make nice pictures!
Now, it's time to go back home for our cooking class...Tonight we gonna enjoy our homemade country style terrine, Normand tripes and an apple tart with a trou normand, of course!
