Close to the Normandy Coast is Bayeau, where the tapestries originated! The Cathederal is fantastic - sorry, but not in any God type of way but structurally and historically. We really enjoyed and we nearlly sat in the sun and had a beer but they didn't have a licence so we drove to Tours....
Chris is interested in wars. not joining in or anything so silly but for us it's looking at the price of freedom, which is the catch phrase they use in Arromanches les Bains - the beach in Normandy where the British Soldiers came ashore in 1944. Today we had fabulous weather; blue skies and loads of sun bit different to the 6th June 1944! Chris and Mike watched the film footage from the landings but I didn't go - there wouldn't have been enough tissues!!! Next we went to Longues Sur Mer to see the German guns - they were pretty impressive - huge.
