France 2011 Arriving in France

This trip was a study tour, focused on highschool students. While I went along for the opportunity to view another country, I learned an extreme amount of information, and gained an appreciation for things I had known of, but failed to truly appreciate, especially historically.

Our first hotel in France, Hotel Churchhill was located in Bayeux, France. This is coming in from the back side and still charming! The parking is very limited and the front side faces out onto a tiny cobblestone street.




This fits a very sweet stereotype of the European Charm. The front desk was nestled in a small room with a personable staff. We each went our separate ways into little nooks, spiral stairways and such to quaint little rooms. The service was very personable and accomodating.


The picture below of an established vinyard section looks very rural, but is actually just a few yards away from the hotel on our walk to the tour bus.
