“TOUR DE FRANCE” Set menu : Caen, Rouen : Normandy ! (available from 21st of March to 8th of April).
2 Courses…£18.95 – 3 Courses…£23.95

Normandy is one of the great historic regions of France. In the Middle Ages, Normandy was one of the great dukedoms which, like Burgundy, rivalled in power and prestige with the kingdom of France.
Before he died, the king of England, Edward the Confessor, named his nephew William, duke of Normandy, as his successor. But after Harold, William’s cousin, took the English crown for himself, William invaded England in 1066, to assert his claim to a royal crown. The story of William the Conqueror is magnificently told in the historic Bayeux Tapestry, which can be visited in Bayeux, a few miles to the west of Caen. With their historic links and their proximity, it is hardly surprising that the Normandy area has much in common with the south of England.
