This long-awaited weekend or vacation finally gives you time to relax, stroll and treat yourself. If shopping can be a bit of an obstacle course in a big city, it’s a pleasure in the Vexin Normand: small, welcoming and helpful retailers, no paid parking, no oppressive crowds in the streets… just the right amount of small, friendly stores to find something for yourself, a few gifts, some good local Normandy produce, or, for fans of decor and vintage, a bit of bargain hunting.
