Staying at Chateau de Vouilly--A very nice B&B

I usually don't recommend accommodations but Chateau de Vouilly is an exception.  U.S. war correspondents set up the first press headquarters in the Chateau after the invasion.  The Chateau is an excellent location to tour the landing beaches and other sites.  Check their web site for additional information (www.chateau-vouilly.com) on available rooms and amenities.

The following pictures gives you a flavor of their dairy farm.  Their milk goes to the cooperative located in Isigny sur Mere.  The cooperative has an excellent store and serves great  ice cream.

 My wife has stitched the garden shed and plants in the far back right corner.  She holds a diploma in technical embroidery from the Royal School of Needlework, Hampton Court Palace.
