The Beaches

One of the days we paid the "D-day beaches" and the D-day museum a visit. You can still see the remainders of the artificial harbors that the allied troops built there.

Mont St. Michel

wpe1F.jpg (14645 bytes) This is what Mont St. Michel looks like from the road. It all began as an oratory in the early eighth century. After that it has been an oratory, a Benedictine monastery, an Abby church and a prison.

If you want to know more about the island and the Abby please visit the travel guide of webfoot.

Douville / Trouville

Along the shore lies the two villages Douville and Trouville, two classical French resorts for exhausted Parisians to rest at.
