The author provides a vivid description of various towns, including Evreux, Lisieux, Falaise, and Bernay, highlighting their unique features and rich histories while inviting readers to appreciate their serene beauty. In this second part of his work, Home takes readers on a journey through the charming and ancient towns of Normandy, capturing the essence of each location through his lens. He describes the stunning cathedral of Evreux with its blend of architectural styles and the quaint streets of Lisieux lined with timeless timber-framed houses. The narrative flows leisurely as he recounts notable landmarks such as Falaise's imposing castle associated with William the Conqueror and the historical significance of sites like the stone where Henry II knelt for absolution.
