Hôtel Normandy

In the charming romantic comedy Hôtel Normandy, released in 2013, we meet Alice, a 40-year-old woman who seemingly has it all—except for a loving partner to share her life with. After the tragic loss of her husband in a road accident, Alice has built emotional walls around herself, resisting the attempts of her well-meaning friends, Pénélope and Isabelle, to help her find love again. Feeling that their friend deserves a fresh start, Pénélope and Isabelle whisk Alice away to the picturesque Hôtel Normandy, a serene retreat where the promise of new beginnings lingers in the air.
