The town of Domfront (pop. 4,500) in lower Normandy is about three hours west of Paris by car, and about an hour east of the famous Mont-Saint-Michel. I don't think I had ever heard of it — despite having spent a year in Rouen in upper Normandy 50 years ago — before Walt and I moved to Saint-Aignan 20 years ago. I remember being excited reading about it in the Michelin Guide back then. We first went there in 2005, I think, and we weren't disappointed. Domfront was described in the Michelin Guide as a hilltop city. We went back in 2006. The town has existed for at least a thousand years.
More to come...
I'm glad you stopped in Domfort so we could see it now. I like hotels like the one pictured. You could probably have a nice meal inside.(protected from the drizzles lol.)
ReplyDeleteGreat looking place!
ReplyDeleteNice looking place. Michelin Guide is releasing their additions in Texas on November 11. Apparently several restaurants in Dallas, Austin and Houston will be starred.
