Calvados bedste strande

Denne strand er virkelig unik og tilbyder en fascinerende blanding af historisk betydning fra krigstiden og betagende naturskønhed. Jeg tog en forfriskende svømmetur og fandt den til at være en af de fineste strande, på trods af manglen på brusere eller toiletter. Der var ikke mange mennesker, der svømmede, men selve stranden havde en dejlig sandet kyst og lavt vand.

Asnelles is a pleasant, low-key resort. It essentially shuts down at the end of August, as evidenced by this photo taken in early September. The worn British flag is even displayed upside down! The Carrefour store is well-stocked, and the boulangerie is good but closes at 1:00 PM and isn't open on Thursdays. There's a tiny market on Thursdays. The biscuit shop and tea room are good. However, there's limited choice for vegetarians seeking a good meal. Le Cale offers nothing, and O Dune Zen is overpriced, now under new management, and has declined in quality. The Italian place next door appears to be permanently closed. The best option is to go self-catering. The beach is lovely and expansive at low tide, and you can walk to the Mulberry Harbour.

This beach is simply paradise. Keep it to yourself, it's pristine and stunning.

We are all aware of the historical significance of this beach during WWII. It was a moving experience for my mother and me as we quietly reflected on the memorials, plaques, and information honoring the soldiers who landed on the shores of Northern France in 1944. It is important to be able to understand both French and English to fully appreciate the stories of these brave individuals. However, time has passed and now the beach serves as a peaceful place to relax and enjoy. The memories and gratitude will always remain, and our fallen heroes can now hear the sounds of freedom and happiness from their final resting place. A heartfelt thank you to all those involved in Operation Neptune and Operation Overlord.

Denne strand er perfekt til vind sport og aktiviteter. Jeg planlægger at vende tilbage med en bedre rejseplan. Derudover har stranden en rig historie og et stort tidevand. Men manglen på sol i august var lidt skuffende.

Vi havde en velarrangeret fransk morgenmad fra det lokale bageri, mens vi så solopgangen på stranden. Det var et fredeligt sted langs Normandiet kysten, præcis som forventet.
