Culinary tour in Normandy (France) with Nadège Cuisine from Cape Town

By Nadege...

Day 2 - This day includes the visit of cheese factory, a lunch at 1* Michelin restaurant, a beautiful walk, a french cooking class and onion soup and cheese platters for dinner...

From Le Prieure to Barneville Carteret

After a yummy breakfast with croissants, raisin buns (pains aux raisins in French!), baguette and homemade jams, we are packed with energy, good mood AND excitement for our day ahead! 
First stop is at a cheesery to understand why Camembert cheese comes from Normandy and why it is so good! This visit made us hungry and ready for our super lunch at La Marine, 1 star Michelin restaurant, in Barneville-Carteret.
After lunch, we walked on the 'customs path', along the coast, to smell iodine and feed our souls with beautiful landscapes made of dramatic cliffs and long beaches...
We finish the day with a French cooking class...soupe a l'oignon and cheese platter for our dinner! Honey and caramelised apples madeleines, and spiced apple compote for our breakfast the next day...Bon appetit!

Culinary tour in Normandy (France) with Nadège Cuisine from Cape Town

By Nadege...

1st day From Paris Charles de Gaulle airport to Le Prieure in Normandy

Monday 21 of May 2012, 09:00 Paris Charles de Gaulle:
Org, Karen, Corlene and Rudolph (from South Africa) are going to arrive any minute... After many mails to organize their culinary tour with us in Normandy, at last, we meet each others in Paris. My dad is also here as the official driver of the tour during the week!

The first day is relaxed and organized based on the time of arrival. We have 4 hours drive ahead of us before we arrive at le Prieure which means stop opportunities for lunch and to visit beautiful villages.

After lunch, we walked to a fish market with so many different seafood: crabs, lobsters, whelks, scampis, oysters, pink prans, grey prawns...Easy to imagine how content we will be tonight at dinner!
We also stopped at a patisserie to choose our evening dessert and buy some 'praline a tartiner' to accompany our crunchy baguette on the next morning...Next week, I will send DAY 2 photos for your virtual culinary tour in Normandy...!
