    Normandy visit,, please help !!

    Hello Guys,

    A good friend and myself are taking a very short trip down the coast of France, driving from the Dover Chunnel in late september.
    We only have four days, because of , well '' Business, familys and conflicting schedules.

    Would anyone here have any advice to us novice travelers, as to what is a must see in this part of the world.
    We are interested in going to the beaches, seeing Relics and Musuems, and anything that some Members may think would be great to see .

    Any info muchly appreciated
    Thanks in advance.

    Mark.

      I also recommend the "Wreck Museum" at Port-en-Bessin (north of Bayeux) if you're interested in relic equipment.

      There are some photos on this page http://www.howitzer.dk/battlefield/normandy.htm , I thought the museum had its own site but I couldn't find it.

      Best,

            AS you can see, 4 months would be better than 4 days...

            Grab a guide, see if you can figure out what's close, and what interests you. 4 days isn't bad.

            And try some of the REAL restaurants, in the back alleys. If you don't know French, just point to stuff on the menu, and see what comes. And be careful of the Calvados.

            Normandy is one of the nicest places I've been, bar none!
