I'm French, born and raised in in Normandy. You managed to encapsulate Normandy under 15 minutes. You do the place justice! I like Normandy and its landmarks very much but what I like most is seeing, hearing, getting to meet nice people like you coming from the world over. That is what Normandy has got best. Thank you so much for your witty suggestions and also the 5 hates, those are real issues. Those sound pieces of advice will truly help our fellow travelers be more prepared. Merci beaucoup. Warm regards to you, your beautiful family and to everybody who has made and will make the trip. I wish I could meet you all. Greetings to America, England, Canada and all the English speaking countries from Normandy. Heart felt thank you on this June 6 2019. We love you

I would like to visit Normandy someday. I came fairly close to it. The spouse and I rented a car in the UK and then took the chunnel to France. We didn't do anything in France, just bypassed it for Belgium. We ended up touring WWI sites while in Belgium. WWI seems to be forgotten by Americans these days, so it was interesting to see some sites there. We didn't have time for Normandy, but will try to make plans in the future. Your video really sold me on it. I've only visited France once for a trip -- to Paris. Although they have some of the best tourist attractions around, the experience put me off for a variety of reasons and I haven't returned (minus the quick drive mentioned and a layover at the Charles De Gaulle Airport.

AWESOME, as always. I a specially loved the suggestion of asking your Garson for meal choices. Though some Restaux, Bistros or Brasseries will offer the expected regional fair, some out-of-the-way establishments may have what is referred to as fait maison, where the food preparation will consist of fresh, seasonal ingredients, giving you a true regional experience. One rule of thump is to look for a menu that is written on a chalkboard as opposed to a multi paged printed menu. Or, simply look for, or ask about fait maison. Enjoy!

We've been through Normandie numerous times as part of our travel from Rosslare. However, it has always been a pass-through.
With the issues around CoVid (and a growing dislike for air-travel, we are really considering a holiday in Normandie & Bretagne this year. However, any time we search for tourist things to do in Normandie, all we get is D-Day suggestions. And as you said, unless you're a history buff, it won't interest you.
Can anyone here suggest things to do around Normandie or Bretagne. ?

we stayed in Paris most of the time, but made a day trip to Mont St. Michel in April. Where were not too many tourist, most of them was children groups. If you gonna go to Michel, look up at tade waves by day and time, because where is tome, when the water is so high, that you can't go to the monastery. Also, i got engaged in these quick sands, and it was perfect Much better place for proposals than Paris, because it is not cheese: )

Been there twice and I always discover something new.
There Is always something to see.
and yes i live in denmark and my car has nothing of notable equipment except for floor mats and a bluetooth radio.
But It's a Renault Twingo II and so far no problems. Not even rust.
Even manage about 19 kilometers pr liter UL95 in the tank from door to door

I had very similar experience visiting Normandy last year. I thought the parking at St. Michael was not bad at all and we visited there in August. The abbey is spectacular. The Normandy beaches are great places to learn about the heroism of the soldiers. Both places must see in France. Indeed poeple in Normandy are very friendly and helpful.

Great tips! While my wife and I were able to get by without knowing Italian in Rome, we found that her being able to speak some French was almost necessary in some of the towns we visited in France. Great people and country to visit!
