Much as I love my home, I have always dreamt of living by water. I know I’d get distracted too easily, and waste hours just watching the light and reflections, but one day I think I shall live beside a river or an ocean.
In the meantime, back to reality, this is a busy day, so I simply wish you much fun and leave you with these beautiful images of homes by the water in Normandy.

Lovely images, Sharon. 🙂
So very lovely. I really appreciate living so close to the Rhone. I always find peace when I walk Ben along the quay. And living by the ocean (in California) was that experience times one thousand! How I would love to get back to that some day. Thanks for making me all dreamy!
Bon weekend…
The house in the first photograph is absolutely beautiful, what a wonderful place to live!
That's my idea of heaven on this earth as well!
Gorgeous! I do miss our home on the river in Muskoka but luckily our apartment in Dubai overlooks the marina 🙂
That's it – I'm packing today and moving to Normandy. Oh so, so lovely.
We can see the Baztan from our farm in the Basque Country, but the true miracle is her lullaby when we lay our heads down for the night…pure bliss. LOVE your photos…dreamy 🙂
I love the homes there no matter the location. These are fab of course.
Have a good weekend!

Pretty images. I wish you a wonderful weekend!
Oh so lovely…
I'd love to open my front door and have the ocean steps away.
Your photos are awesome. Makes us all want to live by the water. Smiles to you, Susie
Living by the water is magical.We have a beach cottage with ocean views and we love it so.Though just living in France would be magical too~Cheers Kim
If you lived by the water, you could have a wonderful rowboat tied up outside your front door. Imagine!!!
These photos are so beautiful I can hardly stand it. Thank you for the lovely images.
Beautiful!

Now, see? This is what I dream of, when I think of a barge tour in France. I swear, I will make it happen. BEAUTIFUL!!!
France is a wonderful country with wonderful sights.
And your photos are a dream.
Yes I too like me would settle there.
A cottage on the lake or river, a dream.
Dearest greetings,

Devine images. I'm from Australia so we don't have locations like that. Truly beautiful.
Just georgeous, agreed on the one day living near water! I adore Bruges in Belgium ….clean city with great waffels and canals are so great…second Venice…just cleaner (:
Of course, I'll take the house with the "blue" window shutters. Absolutely gorgeous!
oh how absolutely lovely! Yes, I think that I would like to live beside a river although, with the Thames rising daily just now, I think it would have to be one that does not flood!
Thank you for beautiful pictures and also for my package from your brocante store which I plan to make into a picture to hang at my home in Brittany, more, please!
Merci bien!
Wow. These pictures are gorgeous. Yep, I'd sit and watch the water for hours too.
We live near a huge river and in Summer get wonderful breezes from it and the ocean that it joins to. What stunning pictures!

Just lovely! I could live in any one of them!
So beautiful. I live on the water in Oregon (USA) and thank God every day for putting me in the perfect place. I love your blog – always an inspiration.
Have a beautiful day.
Oh my, be still my heart! I would love, love, love to live near a river or any body of water! I told my husband, our swimming pool does not count! What unforgettable photographs! Thank you for sharing~
These pictures were sooo pretty, and serene, why wouldn't you dream of living by the water? I'll bet if the people saw your place they would trade places for a week or so…….;) Maryanne
I feel as though I'm falling, right into these gorgeous photos.
Sigh.
I have just found your lovely blog. My dream too is to live over looking the water in the meantime I have to be content with living a couple of miles from the sea! I shall enjoy following you.

Sharon a dream of mine, to live on the water. It is so relaxing, restful, rejuvenating!
I have featured an Interview on my site with Tina from The Enchanted Home…

Sharon,
I live by an ocean and it doesn't distract, rather water delivers an energy and peace like no other. I'd love to reside in France and ride horses, so am living through your posts! Keep sharing and contact me when you're in Southern California.

Amazing images!
