St Pois

The village of St Pois is our home until in January.  Although not very big, it has every thing one could need; gas station, grocery store, boulangerie, La Normandie bar and a boucherie.  While the prices at the stores are a bit higher than the large ones in cities, being so close more than makes up for it.  There is also an elementary school and a church.

Every village in Normandy has a lighted decoration greeting you.

Since it is nearing Christmas, there are lights and decorations all over town.  Every window, even on empty buildings, has a holiday theme.  Normandy is known for it's lighted villages. St Pois is doing it's best.

We walked around the village one night before Christmas to take pictures.  It was magical.

In the church, the manger scene awaits the arrival of baby Jesus on Christmas Eve.
