Bayeux…after dark

Our short ride back to Bayeux was uneventful…we got dressed for our Noel dinner at a fine-dining restaurant in Caen.  Before leaving I checked my confirmation for the address only to read:

Bonsoir Madame,

Malheureusement notre restaurant est fermé le Dimanche 25 Décembre au soir, mais bien ouvert le midi.
Merci de votre compréhension.

Cordialement,
Diana

…which we interpreted to indicate they were actually closed…and so was everything in Bayeux.  We wandered the streets again and a lady at the Tobacco Bar (who was not selling food) pointed out the only restaurant open…La Maison Blanche.  We had a lovely prefixe Noel menu with a glass of champagne, a bottle of wine and a taste of Calvados (the local and strong apple brandy) and a tasty apple liquor.  Needless to say, we went to sleep quite sated.

Joyeuse Noel!
