Then off to an Aire at Montebourg for the night.
12th September
We moved round the coast visiting Barfleur, where a Russian Barque was anchored, it is in the Guinness book of records for its journeys around the world, high priced souveniers were on offer on the quay to raise funds.
Then to St Vast to stay on the Aire.

Yes, you see the pictures but it's different when you are there.
To stand at the tideline on the wide, exposed flat beaches and imagine facing the enemy with nowhere to hide.
Then the acres of white American crosses, very moving.

Never really been to the beaches of the invasion. Would really like to do so and also to see some of the memorials etc. Difficult with an 8 year old daughter.
