17th century timbered four star hotel Connelles, Normandy! Two times - I have had visited this wonderful place - The hotel actually straddles a fork of the Seine.
The ability to view the Seine from my window - the changing light - the optical illusions at sunset. Unbelievable for the painter. The chefs allowed us into the kitchen to watch them prepare croissant, etc. Southern charm goes a long way!!!
In action - with an open casement window and morning light - What more could I ask. I have painted this baker/chef many times - He was delightful! I wish I had asked his name - but we were allowed a very short time in this french kitchen.
We painted on location here and rested - pastoral - quiet - inspiring!
Don't miss the opportunity to stay here if you are in Normandy, you will not be disappointed.
My room was the top window on the right! The view produced many paintings!
Enjoy!
