By the edge of La Manche


On my second day in France, Mag and I left for a roadtrip to Normandy. Starting in this town, Etretat, we snaked our way through the coastal regions while visiting places such as the American Cemetery of World War II, the Canadian Cemetery, a few small towns along the way and returned to Paris a few days later.

Etretat is a picturesque town boasting beautiful shops, a cafe every few steps and a striking coastline surrounded by rolling hills. As my first stop in Normandy, it set me up for a trip filled with beautiful sights and treasures lurking around every corner.

ps: Just in case you are wondering, La Manche is the French term for the English Channel, which seperates England from mainland Europe.

Thanx Anjum. The cliffs and the sea behind us was amazing. And we had such good weather too, cuz usually in October it rains everyday in Normandy. But it turns out that the two days we spent in Northern France were the best two days' of weather they had seen all year in that region.

Of course, some would say it was cuz I was there/ But I choose to think a higher power might be involved. :)
