Places To Visit
Places you might wish to visit include.......... Thew world famous Mont St. Michel is,in our opinion, a "must see". It is always advisable to get there early as it soon gets very busy! St. Mere Eglise has the church with the representation of the D-Day landings paratrooper caught on the spire. It is also home to a war musuem. Arromanches is an interesting town to visit, offering the contrast between the commercial seaside atmosphere of the resort, and the emotional homages to the D-Day landings. It is well worth the trip. In fact, all the landing beaches are within easy reach from our location. You will find a tourist office in Mortain, wirth information about all the attarcations locally and further afield. There are also a number of leaflets avaiable on site for your use. Mortain itself offers the Grand and Petite Cascades and surrounding walks. The viewpoint from the Petite Chappelle is astonishing on a clear day. The famous tapestry at Bayeaux is, of course, well worth a visit. The exhibition is very well presented and includes a film show and a display as well as the tapestry itself. Nearby Domfront has an interesting "old" town with shops and bars.
