D-Day Sites

June 29 and 30, 2026

My day started with a 50k bike ride along the Seine and I found a nature park which made for serene and flat riding.

White cliffs. This is a terrible picture but the cliffs were spectacular

Visit Deauville, where coco Chanel got her start. There is no Chanel store there now, but Hermes…

Then a stay in Caen, but didn’t do much but walk around and have dinner.

Eglise St. Pierre, Caen

Next morning a visit to D-Day sites and drive up the coast of Normandy.

D-Day memorial on Omaha Beach
Omaha Beach Cemetery
Arromanches
Juno Beach

Finally a visit to a Calvados farm. Calvados is apple brandy and the cider is good, but the brandy was not my favourite.
