Cherbourg and more

Sunday, the entire family headed to a local chateau that was hosting a Marché de Noël as seen in the picture below.

There is nothing like window shopping in France during Christmas especially at the pâtisseries, boulangeries, et chocolatiers. Their displays are always so impressive and delicious looking.

The lamp post and cart in front of it are both made of chocolate.
