After a croque monsieur we headed into the Suisse Normande. The roads are scenic, almost deserted, and enjoyable, particularly one section known from previous visits as the 'Hillclimb', which we rode up and down half a dozen times.
Our last sight of the day was a bridge over the Noireau river formed by recycling a 'Whale' component from the Mulberry floating harbours used after the D-Day landings (the original bridge having been blown up by the French Resistance).
