I took the 3 hour walk around Mont Saint Michel along the mudflats and across rivers and it was a good way to further experience the beauty of the island abbey. The tour was in french but I understood much of what was being said. As the tour ended, the tide came rushing in and watching that was an awesome sight as well.

This historic beach was the primary point of landing on June 6, 1944, for the entry of American forces into World War II and saw some of the most intense fighting in the entire war.

I am so happy I took time from our holiday to visit Omaha Beach, its so much more stunning and impressive in person, the sea views are stunning, the cliffs, the nearby quaint town, the art and sculptures, this is one special and unique place in the earth I would suggest all take time to visit.

Cerza is a hidden gem that doesn't seem to be very well known even in France. We loved it so much, we went there this year again after having spent a week in July 2017. We stayed in the lodges both time - they are very comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen plus heating AND air conditioning. You can choose to relax in the lodges and then saunter over to the main Park area whenever you want during opening hours. This is also a great base to explore Normandy - we went as far as Michel St. Mont one day. There are wallabies, deer and different birds even around the lodges, plus a decent play area so my daughter was never bored even in the lodges. I don't think we switched the TV on even once. BIG PLUS this time - the lodges have great WiFi connection this year. My wife was able to work from there on a couple of days.

The best way to get to the Ile Tatihou is by the boat/bus hybrid vehicle. We went in the morning, when the tide was high, by it as a boat. We were a party of five adults and three infants of 6 and 7. The island is small but the walk to the restaurant was about half an hour. The children played in the fortifications of the Vauban Fort and we had a good meal outside the distinguished house where, presumably, the governor lived. The meal was good and we when walked around the fort and had a delightful time visiting another fort off shore which could be reached at low tide. On our was back we stopped at the botanic gardens and had a look round. As the tide was low we returned to the mainland on foot through the extensive oyster beds. A great day out in good weather

Visited this beach in recognition of the 75th anniversary. To stand on the beach and then visit the gun emplacement brings home just how exposed the Canadian troops were. 45,000 Canadians lost their lives during the war 359 on D Day - thank you.
