Take An Orange Chair And Relax

Yes — I am running behind in the write-up of our 3 day drive from Normandy to the south of France — to the Midi-Pyrenees. So picture yourself sitting down in one of these orange chairs in the seaside village of Brehal in Normandy with the soft spring sun upon your face. Order a cup of coffee of your choice (and it’s France, so there are no strange flavoured syrups — just good strong coffee based on expresso!) and relax. I’ll be back on Sunday to post the first part of our travels from North to South.

Here’s a blast from the past with some vintage advertising.

For those of you of a certain age (ahem!), do you remember those tiny transistor radios that we used to take to the beach or the pool?

This charming old Coca Cola advertisement is on the window of a now-closed cafe at Utah Beach, one of the sites of the D-Day landings in Normandy, France. The Utah Beach Museum is across the street from the out-of-business cafe and apparently both of them originally opened in the 1960s.

I just couldn’t miss the opportunity to have a flashback moment.

Enjoy!
