Normandiet bedste strande

Omaha Beach er et fantastisk sted at begynde din udforskning af museer og historiske vartegn i Normandiet. Mens du går langs kysten, kan du ikke undgå at føle den enorme betydning af de historiske begivenheder, der fandt sted her, hvilket efterlader dig ydmyget og dybt bevæget af de utrolige modige og anstrengelser fra de allierede styrker under de afgørende D-dags-landinger i 1944. Sørg for ikke at overse den højtidelige amerikanske kirkegård og mindesmærke, der ligger på klipperne over stranden, da det giver en rørende hyldest til soldaterne, der gjorde den ultimative offer. Bekvemme parkeringsmuligheder i nærheden gør det nemt for besøgende at opleve dette historiske sted fuldt ud.

Utah beach served as one of the two DDay landing beaches for the Americans. Although the number of casualties here was lower compared to Omaha beach, it doesn't diminish the significance of this place. The beachfront is adorned with several memorials and sculptures, and there is also a well-maintained museum, dining options, and restroom facilities. If you happen to be in the area, it is highly recommended to take a moment to honor the sacrifices made by those who ensured our present-day freedom.

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.

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.

We enjoyed a beautiful sunset stroll at Green Island Beach. The parking was convenient, and when the tide recedes, there is a spacious beach and numerous rock pools to discover.

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.
