I just got back from 10 days in Normandy with Vincent and the kids. Most of the time we were there it was gray, but on a couple of days, it was glorious. And Normandy on a glorious day is sublime.

My friend Claire came up from Paris for the weekend and we went to a neighboring village to check out the local château. Built in the 1600s, it’s a two-bedroom number (really!) with a gorgeous moat. Perfect for a weekend getaway. That green blob on the right is all that remains of the original tower/fortress, built around 960, in the middle of the moat.
