We found Au Temps des Cerises while researching B&Bs for our 2-month tandem bike tour in France. After reading the reviews here on TA as well as e-mailing Francoise, we made reservations 3 months in advance for both B&B and dinner upon our arrival.
After a hard wet ride, we were most warmly greeted by Francoise. We were provided a secure place for our bike and trailer, and shown to our very comfortable room. After our hot showers, we sat outside in the afternoon sun enjoying a glass of wine and were offered a bowl of fresh cherries while we relaxed enjoying the view. For dinner, Francoise served up a wonderful meal that included dessert and wine/cidre. Everything was homemade and delicious. Breakfast was also tasty.
Because of all the rain and cool winds from our ride, my wife caught a cold, so we opted to finish our bike tour in Jumieges rather than continue on to Rouen. Since buses were not running per schedule, Francoise most graciously drove us into Rouen - service does not get better than this! We would have stayed longer if we hadn't had a reservation deposit in Rouen. Au Temps des Cerises was the best accommodation we had in during our 2-1/2 weeks in Normandie.
