Chapelle Saint-Michel

Reviewed By BigDave146 - Warfield, United Kingdom

Beautiful place to visit. The history of Mortain is fascinating, and the little chapel at the top is perched on the edge of the hill. The view from behind it is amazing, you can see all the way to Mont St Michel, Avranches and many miles in the distance on a clear day. Its a nice place to go for a short walk with the dogs and family. You should make sure you Google the story of Mortain and Hill 314 in WW2 as it is an amazing story and makes you think alot when you are visiting there.

We walked from Barfleur and had a picnic on the beach near the light house. The trip up the tower was great fun. Beautiful countryside.

Les Falaises d'Arromanches

Reviewed By nnmercman - Camberley, United Kingdom

Parking in Arromanches can be problematic and so here there’s plenty of space for 3euros a day. Great views across the town and remains of the Mulberry harbour from the viewing platform and if reasonably fit then it’s only 300metres down the steep descent (and ascent!!) into Arromanches. The 360deg cinema is also here but didn’t visit as to be honest after two days I was “film and museum’d out”. Have to say that in my opinion the town is a complete tourist trap and often full of bored and noisy school parties but there’s plenty of cafes and restaurants where you can enjoy a good lunch and drink.

I had a short business trip to Le Treport. I got up early and went for a job along the seawall which i really enjoyed. A beautiful little town with great views of the cliffs and English Channel. Lovely!

Panorama Mont-Joli

Reviewed By LauraDaveJames - Solihull, United Kingdom

In a rush of blood we decided to walk up the hill to see this view. The pathway is not signposted but can be found off the Rue Charriere du Puits. It is a narrow winding path that feels nearly vertical in parts. We walked up about 10:00 in the morning and we were the only people there. The view of the Pont de Normandie is excellent. There is no shade or shelter so you may need to select the right day. After taking in the view it's possible to have a pleasant five minute stroll down a quiet country road to the Notre Dame de Grace church. From here there is an easy walk downhill on a road back into town.
