Well now....
The holiday in Ernes, Nr St Pierre Sur Dives, Normandy was very de-stressing - even driving on the other side of the road was not too bad - we were quite rural. The house was grand once it had been aired and a few fires burned in the log burner to dry it out a bit - it was built into a slope and I suspect when it was built there was no such thing as damp-course. There was a lake for fishing - son caught rainbow trout that was big enough to have for breakfast - and the garden grounds were excellent - discovered the owners went to my old school in Sussex - a few years after me - and that one of my former class mates was due there the week after...... Weather was ok - not a lot of sun but not a lot of rain except a couple of the days. Went to several "Musee de Guerre", cemetaries, the odd castle, cathedral and chateau.
Our front door was the one just behind the red car
View from the other side of the footbridge

You wouldn't see this in the UK - a circus with real animals......
