Manoir Au Pont Rouge Bayeux

This last weekend my program's group traveled to Normandy and Brittany. It was a very cool trip! On Saturday we drove from Paris to Caen, Normandy. We visited the Memorial de Caen, which is a museum/memorial from WWII. Caen was a city during WWII that was occupied by the Germans, and it was a major victory when the Allies were able to seize it. After Caen, we drove on to Omaha Beach to the American ...

Next stop were we stepping back in time even further...to 1066 to be exact and the battle of Hastings which is deplicated on a 70 m piece of embroidded cloth known as the Bayeux taperstry. On entry to the tapestry you are given an audio guide which provides a running commentry on what is ...

... we drove past Courseulles code name Juno Beach and onto Arromanches code name Gold Beach and where the famous Mulberry Harbour was built. <br><br>The Mulberry Harbour was made by the British. Over a dozen old ships on their last voyage were intentionally sunk as the foundation of the harbours break wall. Several dozen extremely large concrete blocks which were transported across the seas ...

Arrived at Ouistreham just before dark and found an Aire de Service right on the beach and this time it was free! The downside was it was right next to the ferry terminal and the 6am ferry to Portmouth the next day was kill the tranquilo the next morning. Kim's Maison du Scooby cooked up a storm. Pork fajitas on rice - delicious. I gave it 5 stars.

... many. My French guide made the comment as we explored Normandy... "I may have been speaking German now to you if it were not for those that fought here." Their sacrifice affects many, and touches many... as my guide gave us the details of the American Cemetery, the Australian man next to me had to excuse himself. There is not much else to say, but, Thank you.

... the washing machine and how to get soap, but I finally<br>figured it out. And then I didn't know where to put the soap. After a bit, a teenage boy came in to collect some clothes from a dryer, so I asked him. He didn't speak English, and I tried my best with French. He seemed to understand, and my clothes did end up getting clean. ...And then I couldn't figure out how to work the dryer. Fortunately, the boy came back again with another load, and we determined that the dryer ...

... that jumped out at me, except for one place I saw at the beginning of the dinner search. I decided that unless I found something better, I would return here. I decided to investigate all the restaurants listed in the guidebook before choosing a place, since it's a small town, and I really had nothing else to do. <br><br>The final restaurant recommended by the guidebook was La Coline D'Enzo, which happened to be one of the very ...

... the church and entered around 8:00<br>pm. They were very busy and we ended up having a very long 2 ½ hour<br>dinner that was very good, although was quite lengthy.

... would be Mont St. Michel, where we had a hotel. If we got there in time, we would check out what we could and then head to the D-Day beaches and the Bayeux Tapestry on Saturday. From previous calculations, we figured the drive to Mont St. Michel would take about 4 and a half hours. Due to traffic, terrible weather conditions, and the fact that we didn't have actual directions, it took a little longer. Suzanne drove the whole time ...
