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. Its a place we would definitely recommend and we will be back tooLäs mer

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.Läs mer

For our next stopover we found a parking area where motorhomes are allowed to overnight in the stunning village of Le Bec Hellouin.

There is also a Greenway next to our parking which we hiked along to the next town.Läs mer

On our way to our next stopover we decided to visit Bayeux for a few hours, we parked up at the war museum and headed for the town centre. Bayeux is home to the most amazing cathedral, which we visited after strolling round the town. The town is also home to the largest commonwealth war cementry, as it is Victory in Europe day we had to visit.

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.Läs mer

We decided to visit the American war memorial and we were so glad we did, what an amazing place, we spent a good 3 hours here as there is so much to see, there is a brilliant exhibition covering the allied DDay landings which we thoroughly enjoyed and found it fascinating and thought provoking.

We moved inland to the CCP Aire at Picauville, this CCP aire is the best one we have been to, it has brand new showers cleaned every morning, its more like a campsite than an aire. We had a great view of the marshes and spotted lots of stork's flying above us. The town has plenty of shops and there are a few hiking trails dotted around which we followed.Läs mer

We used it to go on a couple of good circuler walks.Läs mer

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.Läs mer

We finally made it to Brittany and our first port of call is the fortified town of Saint Malo. This is an amazing place to visit there is so much to see. We used the park and ride and walked into the town as its not that far. The weather is sunny so Saint Malo looked fabulous. It must be one of the best kept fortified towns in France.

We loved it so much that we stayed for two nights. The village has some stunning houses and it was nice walking around looking at all the buildings. There is another village close by that has a good market on a Tuesday.Läs mer

Moving along the North Brittany coast we found a CCP aire in a great location right next to the coastal path and a lovely beach. This part of Brittany is our favourite stop of this trip so far, so we stayed for a couple of nights to give us enough time to explore. We hiked along the Gr34 coastal path in both directions and passed lots of beautiful beaches with small boats moored in the bays. The weather has held up and we are enjoying plenty of sunshine.Läs mer
