Today we took a drive called the Cider Route, which “meanders throughout a typically Augeron landscape.  Within this superb and undulating setting, castles, manor houses, half-timbered houses and apple orchards offer the region some of its finest views.”  The fields were lush and looked like green velvet.  We stopped and had lunch in a small village called Bonnebosq.

The restaurant was called Auberge du Bras d’or and our wonderful waitress was Mme HAMEL Rejane.  She helped us to understand the menu and even brought a man in who spoke a little English and he translated the menu for us.  During the course of the meal Susan accidentally added water to Lola’s white wine and began drinking it.  No problem.  When Lola realized it she took Susan’s wine.  That was good since Susan is the driver.

We visited the town of Beuvron en Auge and it is a village with a central market hall and manor houses and is recognized as one of the bost beautiful villages in Frances.
