The lapping of the river outside your window has a deeply soothing quality. Mind you, its not just any river. This is the noble Seine, no less, that a couple of hours away passes beneath the bridges of Paris, where lovers kiss and poets muse and the traffic is as tangled as the plot of a Maigret mystery. You'll spend time in the great city of course, amid the many-layered history of Rouen, and maybe on the cliffs and beaches where Allied bravery once began reclaiming a continent. Along the way you'll admire the pastoral peace of the Norman landscape, the rich savor of a grand culinary tradition and the genie of contentment released with every opening of a bottle of Calvados. All of these pleasures can be enjoyed at Le Manoir des Deux Amants situe a Connelles, as well as swimming, tennis, boating and, well, just being. The perfect time to renew your acquaintance with Sartre. In French?
