    We moved along the coast to Saint Valery and found the town Aire. It was rammed by the time we arrived but managed to find a place. The town itself sits on an estuary across from Le Crotoy. Its a bank holiday in France today and the place was full of locals enjoying the weather. Saint Valery has a pretty marina with steam trains that take you all the way to Crotoy. We had a nice walk along the river and over the other side to the marches.,Then a tour of the town. next day we explored the estuary and around the medieval part of the town.

    Mesnieres en bray

    2–4 mai, France ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    We travelled inland to our next overnight stop, at the beautiful village of mesnieres en bray. The Aire is free with water and waste emptying facilities provided. The village is small but very pretty with a stunning church and chateau at its centre. There is also a very good Greenway which goes all the way to Dieppe. We walked it on both days taking in a few villages along the way but Dieppe at 40km is to far for us.En savoir plus

    Port En Bessin

    6–7 mai, France ⋅ 🌬 11 °C

    Our stop for tonight takes us to the town of Port En Bessin. Its a working fishing port that has a nice town front with a harbour. It is famous for being the place where the british brought in a temporary fuel pipe line for the DDay landings. The commandos who first landing here came under serious firepower as the German defences were almost impregnable. The commando did successfully took over the town but not without heavy losses, its a fascinating story and really sad. We did a 6 mile hike around the area which we followed using the Alltrails app.En savoir plus

    Mont Saint Michel

    13–14 mai, France ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Last stop before Brittany, and as we had never visited here we thought it was about time we did. We used the CCP aire thats about 5km from Mont Saint Michel but there is a good path taking you along the river towards the sea. Its still busy even though it's a week day but not too bad and we had a nice day there and would recommend coming and seeing it yourself if you've not been before.En savoir plus
