Winnie's French "Lambert" ancestors were from the village of Fourmetot, in Normandy. Here is the village today. It looks like the kind of place, if we ever went there, that we could track down exactly which house they lived in 300 years ago.
Who knows, with someplace like this inn to visit, it might give us a reason (because I like to eat well!). -

Le Manoir de L’Aufragère is a lovingly-restored 18th century manor house, offering three-night culinary experiences in eight acres of tranquil countryside in the heart of Normandy, France. Your hosts, Nicky and Régis Dussartre, are both fluent English-speakers passionate about good living.
You’ll cook with Nicky, a cordon bleu chef who’s completely consumed by gastronomy and simply loves anything and everything to do with food. She’ll share her culinary knowledge and expertise with you in a very relaxed atmosphere, making cooking a real, unpretentious, joy. Also joining in the course is her French husband, former goats’ cheese producer, Régis. He looks after your visits to the local market, fromagerie and Calvados distillery, as well as introducing you to homemade cheese and a few cocktails and local tastings along the way.
