re: Bayeux/Normandy

Bayeux is the place to stay. It is the only town around there that was not bombed during WWII , thus the cathedral and old town are still intact. It is a quaint town with some good restaurants and is about six miles from Gold Beach, the center of the landing beaches.

We stayed at Hotel d’Argouges, a small B&B type of place a few blocks from the town center. It is a nice hotel with bar service outside in the gardens where we would spend cocktail hour most nights.

We stayed there during Easter 2019 just weeks before the 75th anniversary of D-Day.

The D-Day tour to take is through Overlord Tours.
