Fougeres has an amazing castle and has a well signposted
footpath that leads you through the towns most historical sites, ( a great
place to visit with the grandchildren in years to come). The rain stopped play and we made a hasty
retreat back to the van. We carried on along
the Normady beaches to Honfleur, and the popular aire at the harbour.
By the afternoon we had arrived in Bayeux to visit the famous tapestry which depicts the Norman Conquest. The tapestry museum is very well laid out and the 1100 year old tapestry is in marvellous condition. We took advantage of the double museum ticket to visit the Normandy Landings museum, again very well laid out and pictorially very informative, (just wished we had a little more time to spend here).

Next day we continued onto Dunkerque and the aire at the ferry terminal ready for our early morning departure to the UK.
