whistlinwolf Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Bayeaux tapestry is a safe bet and the beaches are spectacular in their own right, especially at dusk( romantic approach always works wonders) ;-) Pont Du Hoc is impressive .

Mark Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Nigel There is a thread on here that Jack started when he went over there, if you do a search there are loads of places that people have put up, have a read and decide from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 St Mere Eglise is good - go on a Weds and the ladies have a market to wander around whislt ou do the museum. The German batteries at Azevelle and Crisbeq are also well worth a good look. The Utah beach museum is another good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
