Close to Bayeux, Chateau du Balleroy is the worlds first museum dedicated entirely to hot air ballooning.  I visited a few years back after much persuasion from my Father and was pleasantly surprised at what a remarkable place it was.  Some of the artwork, particularly on the ceilings was utterly breathtaking, at one point I was so totally mesmorised by the ceilings I found myself walking backwards!  If you go, see if you can spot the Faberge egg! Passer pour un idiot aux yeux d'un imbécile est une volupté de fin gourmet.    Report
