We had originally planned on coming to Normandy for the long Easter weekend, but had a change of plans and have spent the entire week here. The weather has been fabulous and it’s been so nice spending so much time outside, shopping at all of the different markets, and of course eating lots of seafood. I don’t think I’ll be ready to go back to Paris on Monday! Some of my favorites from Weekend Links Week 16 include photos of a summer getaway along the Basque coastline, an interview with Rihanna with accompanying photos shot at the Ritz Paris, and a French Easter recipe to try. Enjoy!
