la colline aux oiseaux

One beautiful park that most people don't take a chance to visit while in Caen is the Colline aux oiseaux (the bird hill if you will hehe). It is right next to our famous Mémorial and used to be a landfill, although you'd never guess that now.

Plus the park is so huge that even on a beautiful holiday like yesterday when everyone and their mother's uncle's dog wanted to go for a walk or picnic we still managed to find quiet shady areas where we could sniff the lilacs or feed the llamas :-)





Anyone know what these beautiful purple flowers are called? They were stunning hanging along the pathway...

I even got into the spirit with my little daisy ever so carefully tucked behind my ear by Mr. Mystery Guest :-)
Happy May Day!
