Help required! For a long weekend in the Normandy Area.

Hi

Most of the advice here has been as good as you would expect from this site.

I would heartily recommend Normandy Beaches B&B - I had a weekend jaunt there last weekend. Adrian was his usual host knocking up a fantastic BBQ for us on arrival with the free beers etc. before we hit the 'Le Pub' up the road. The four of us paid € 46 each for the full B & B (full english breakfast) and including that BBQ. :D

But to assist you with forward planning look at the Normandymemoire website. It lists much of the best sites, takes you to their links, allows you to plan an itinerary and associates sites to the different parts of the campaign.

Hope it helps, enjoy yourself - everyone I have taken so far has been back at least once, most many times more. :)

But one word of warning - watch it on any main route / Autoroute leading to a ferry port. I spoke to a chap on the Eurotunnel on the way home. He was very sad.

He had been heading back to Dieppe for the ferry, the Gendarmerie are well aware of crossing times and were sat up on the road in a 70kph limit, which he failed to respond to. They stopped him! :blast

He missed his ferry and was relieved of €750 on deposit against the matter being considered by the magistrate. He was lucky to keep hold of his bike and this is more common on the main routes of late. I have never had problems myself, but apply certain rules applicable to the location.

Thanks for that JH it's good to get an Idea for costings and recommendation will allways be high on my list :thumb

I have watched the gendarmes in action many times they are so swift and appear from nowhere :eek: but fortunately not been at the receiving end :D but thank you for the warning. :beerjug:
