Churros! This suggests Spanish tourists visit here!

Bloody expensive pain au chocolat - but it was big, and looked pretty decent.

Mere Poulard was famous for the incredible omelettes she served to pilgrims who made the trek to Mont St. Michel. Of course, capitalism has turned this into a complete rip-off ...

... selling her omelettes for 34-36 euros!!! There's also one made with lobster and truffles that is 18 euros per 100 grams!!! You can get the same omelette for slightly cheaper (18-24 euros) in other restaurants in town. For that price, I expect that omelette to magically give me the ability to speak fluent French after eating it.

Spanish tour bus!!! Where are the Spanish tourists???

You have to be careful where you park here - certain areas get flooded during high tide, and cars have been wrecked, as a result.

The best views are from the causeway.

They say it's best viewed at night - I wasn't there for the evening, but here's a pro's shot.

Fancy tea house - too bad the goods didn't live up to the surroundings.

Quiche lardon - a little bit tough, as it was microwaved! I've been surprised so far on this trip, since the French take food so seriously, but still use the microwave to reheat pastries. Use the oven and bake it, please!!! It was too rubbery, but otherwise could've been good.

Tartelette fraise - the strawberries were nice, but the tart was a bit too sweet. The crust was shortbread like, and the best part. The place had fancier offerings, but I love tarts, so I stuck with those. But I really need to step out of the pain au chocolat/tartelette box, because I'm running out of time in France and there are still so many pastries to try! The cafe au lait was excellent, but the pastries were only so-so - it's pricey here and the portions are smaller than my fave bakery in town, but in the end, you're paying for the location.

Pretty amazing selection, mostly fancier pastries.

And ... this is the name of the place.

Pretty amazing prices at this chain bakery - 5 pastries for 7 euros!!! That would be one tasty lunch!

Not just a pain au chocolat, but a MAXI big-ass pain au chocolat!

I wonder if the shop just took these bottles of wine and rolled them around in the mud, giving them the appearance of being well-aged? Because there's no reason that a bottle from 2000 should look so dirty, unless you store them in a filthy cellar.

Interesting shape to these yummy-looking tomatoes. The ones on the vine in the bottom left hand corner look amazing, too.

Pretty cheap for a netbook! I need to get one for next year, it'll save me a ton of time since I won't have to write in my journal every night, then type it up after. It'll save money on internet cafes too, especially with so many places offering free wi-fi nowadays.

My fave patisserie in Bayeux. I'm probably quickly becoming their fave customer, since I'm there almost twice a day!

Chicken wings would be SO good right now .... except ...

.... I went for this pastry instead. Unfortunately, all the intelligence I earlier gathered by visiting five pastry shops didn't help me, and I ended up making a bad choice.
