Can recommend the Normandy Beach b and b in Arromanches,very bike friendly and a good base for the beaches.

Omaha beach cemetry is particularly humbling... Of the beaches themselves, seeing just how far those guys had to run carrying weapons and munitions through hell makes one think just how lucky we are not to have been one of them. The hotel/ ferry/tunnel  will need booking soon so its going on the diary very soon with what detail I already have. I can add stuff later as planning becomes finalised.

Oooops spell check Janine LOL
UK cemetary wasnt as humbling as u cud pass it on the road whereas u wudnt know that the USA 1 was where it is....we passed many monuments further inland in little villages.....they went much further inland than u can imagine Shocked

Ye xxxj9xxx area is full of interesting stuff from |WW2...and we just going to manage a brief taster in two days there...but its a start for those who never been at all. Pont de hoc is worth a visit,a cratered hell.. The arromanches mulberry  view from the road is all we will manage.. Merie st eglise of course...

If you have the time the WW2 museum at Bayeux is very good,watch for museums etc shutting for lunch-not great if you get there at 11 and they shut at 12 for two hours-we did the tapestry,had lunch and were on their doorstep waiting for them to open at two,last ones out when they shut at half six.Pegasus bridge well worth a look too.
