UN PEU DE VENT DU LARGE A CABOURG

 We are back from Cabourg and I want to share some sunny days with you.

De retour de notre petit séjour normand, voici quelques photos de Cabourg sous le soleil.

Our main objective was of course to enjoy the beach and the wind with our kites

Du vent parfait, pas trop fort et stable.

Perfect wind, not too strong and steady.




and when you don't have enough hands you can get help

an old friend from DD1 (I open it, add velcro patch and now she gets a new life as technical assistant).






My owl.

Sand is better than Dieppe pebbles to walk on.

Lot of shells on the beach and a special shape I wanted to collect for a future project, so I made some stock!




The rooster weathervane was part of the repair of the church tower

Market, Grand Hotel, Merry-go-round.





Our last visit was during the Covid period so every place was closed, it was time to return to restaurant, museum and shops.

Lot of choices in this small town.


Fish food on the menu with a special congrat to the "Hasting's" and its quiet terrace at the back!!!


for a fillet of sea bream with courgette spaghettis and an amazing pesto with pine gable, fennel seeds, pansy and tops of young peas plants.



A nice visit to the "villa du temps retrouvé",  a Belle Epoque exhibition with lot of paintings, furnitures, music room, letters and books displays, lot of black and white movies from the early 20th century.









J'aime beaucoup les scénographies qui animent ainsi les cadres, jeux de cartes ou cahier d'écriture avec de petits films en noir et blanc.

La villa est meublée, décorée pour rappeler l'ambiance Belle Epoque et nous offre de magnifiques peintures de paysages normands et de nombreux portraits réalisés par Paul César Helleu, Jacques Emile Blanche, pas de fond propre donc des prêts de musées et institutions prestigieuses et un renouvellement garanti.

Une petite pause dans le jardin, le temps d'un cappuccino et d'un diabolo citron.

Nice to take a break in the garden with a cappuccino.

  1. Sounds like you had a great trip. Japanese people like to fly kites, but is kite flying popular in France? I'm glad you had a competent assistant in yourself kite flying.🐸
    I think that you got even more wonderful ideas after seeing and feeling various things.😊
