When I grew, every Saturday, we went to Cherbourg for the market and for general shopping. Cherbourg is a small town where we always met with friends or family along
the way which made the shopping experience even more pleasant.
Let's carry on with tradition! Today, it's Saturday so let's go shopping to Cherbourg!
There are many interesting shops where you can get kitchen gadget and equipment that you can't find in South Africa (cannele moulds, bain-marie pots...)
We can even stop to a hat shop for the real French berets!
After strolling around, we have a traditional tartar steak, a knuckle of pork roasted in beer,
a norman salad and some tripes a la mode de Caen- in a typical brasserie.
After these few hours in a city, let's go back to nature and the beautiful and peaceful Norman country-side. We go to le Petit Gris des Moulins to see how they breed their snails and have a glass of organic apple juice with a platter of snails!
We have some time in front of us so we go and admire the view on top of a hill first and then on top of a lighthouse (365 steps to walk up-perfect for digestion!).
We finish the day walking in the countryside around my grand parents farm where I spent all my Sundays as a kid. My mum is busy preparing une blanquette de veau and the teurgoule that she has cooked 3 hours ago finishes cooking on the stove. We soon join my parents to enjoy this delicious meal together with a moque of cider!
