Maison de Vauville

We were originally scheduled to see this house first thing in the morning of our first day of house hunting. We talked about it, and without looking at it, we decided we didn't want to live outside the city. For no apparent reason (other than, just for fun?) we later rescheduled to see it after all, and quickly became enamored with the town and the house itself. When we first saw it, it was right at sundown. We stood on the third level terrace and saw a panoramic view of the remnants of the sunset over the English Channel, as off to the side the lights of the coastal village were just beginning to flicker on.. We thought to ourselves, when would we ever get the chance to live in a place like this, again? A little stone house in an old Norman village? Why not?
