Got up late, read, Sandy went for a walk, bought some Calvados and we had a leisurely (3 hour), menu-gastronomique lunch at the brilliant SaQuaNa, 22, place Hamelin, www.alexandre-bourdas.com, in Honfleur.

Then drove back to Paris. Only by a lucky mistake, we ended up crossing and having to re-cross the spectaularly-beautiful Normandy bridge. Worth the 10 euros.
