Taking time out for yourself at the weekend or on holiday is essential for a real break.
It’s the right moment to allow yourself pleasures and experiences that do not always fit into our schedules.
Choosing the Normandy countryside to take a break means choosing a place where you can give yourself the time and the right to do nothing, or very little, but with so much pleasure !
We have put together a list of simple pleasures and nice treats for you in Lyons Andelle :
Take a break for hours in a park, have a picnic by a pond or at the foot of an abbey: landscaped gardens, sculpture parks or monastic gardens invite you to extend your visit and enjoy the present moment.
Scouring flea markets, decoration shops and fairs to find a rare pearl to refine your interior decoration.
Sleeping in, then lounging on the terrace of a café Place Benserade in Lyons-la-Forêt, nibbling on a flaky baguette, before a quick trip to the market in the village hall.
Try your hand at sculpting with a model during a clay modelling workshop with a professional sculptor. Sculpting clay has a relaxing effect and it is a pleasure to leave with your first sculptures.
