A February Visit to Normandy

 

Last February half term we let the gite to a family whose Dad and older son had a particular interest in things to do with the D-Day Landings in Normandy.   Whilst Mum, Kara and the younger children were also keen to see these sites they also wanted to visit many of the other great places in Normandy.  On their return Kara blogged about what they did and I was amazed how much they had fitted in!  Over their week here they visited:

  • St Mere Eglise *
  • Airborne Museum *
  • Point Du Hoc *
  • Bayeux
  • American War Cemetery *
  • Mont St Michel
  • Pegasus Bridge *
  • Utah, Omaha, Juno, Gold and Sword Beaches *

Those site marked with an asterix are all related to WWII but that didn't mean that the younger children were bored as places like the Landing Beaches, cemeteries and museums have much to keep visitors of all ages interested.

For more details about all these sites head on over to her blog (Chelsea Mamma) with these links:
