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

There is nothing more American than visiting Omaha Beach and that cemetery. You don't have to be a history buff to pay homage to those young American boys who gave their lives for freedom. It's a special feeling being there. No need to be a super patriot to appreciate being in Normandy as a special place to be American.

I've cycled the Normandy coast in the autumn and it was great. A little rain, great food etc. But I guess what struck me is how unspoilt it is. Little traffic, not much modern development. Yes it's not the Med but - I've always felt like it's a place where I could live - there's something very relaxed and real about the place.

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!

Tips on walking to and from Mont St. Michel at low tide. Mark was not kidding when he compared the mud to quicksand. You could be stuck up to your thighs or waist in thick mud! Never walk across the mud solo! Make sure other people are nearby to help lift you out of the mud. In addition, check the high and low tides charts. They are posted at both ends of the muddy path. You do not want to be marooned on the island overnight or, worse, stuck in the mud as the tide rolls in!

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.

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).

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 love France in general, we were born in the Uk and emigrated to Canada in 1975. We have spend t a week in Paris and also a month in Provence and Côte d’Azur. Loved it all. We would love a trip to Normandy and Brittany so thanks for the film. We do find that you speak too fast, hard to catch everything. I do not know why you state that a thing you hate is limited opening hours, when that is true anywhere. No problem. Also if not a history buff one may get bored of the war sites. Well if one was not interested in the history of the wars, then one would not go. Hardly a reason to hate. In fact you really did not hate anything.

The same goes for Australia. There is very limited public transport, especially in remote areas. In the major cities you can easily get from one place to the other by train if you don’t plan on driving. But if you want to experience the countryside, then you will need to have your own car. Where I live for example, there are no train services, so I need a car to get around. 00:44.

For the past week and the next to come it will be around 30°C. Summer is the best time of the year to come and visit to enjoy sunny warm days there but around easter is ok too. Other period of the year expect clouds, wind and rain. That can also happen in summer but those who only like warm weather I would not suggest to come between november and may. June, july, august, september (and october possibly) are the best months to visit to be able to be the most outdoors.

The tapestry at Bayeux used to be longer, there are signs that there was at least another section covering the end of the battle, but it has been missing for so long that there no surviving descriptions of what is missing - speculation is that it covered the fighting at the 'Malfosse', a ditch behind the Saxon line where they rallied & caused significant casualties after the loss of Harold II.

I go to Normandy in June most years (but alas not this year!) and I think it's a pretty good time of year to go. The number of tourists is not actually that bad. There is one major piece of advice I would give to anyone going to any part of France though: don't go in August. I made this mistake once and regretted it. France is closed in August. Seriously, the entire country is closed.

Also, i got engaged in these quick sands, and it was perfect ^^ Much better place for proposals than Paris, because it is not cheese :)

Cider is a popular cheap drink today, but it used to be rare. Kings loved it. We drank it with the "galette des rois", king's cake in Epiphany. Cider became democratic with agricol specialization : wine in Bordeaux and Bourgogne where the soil and sun are better, and grass/cows/apples in places like Normandy (hence milky and apple products). :) Etymology ? English cider < Old french cidre or cire < cisdre < late latin sicera < greek sī́kera < hebrew šēḵār 'strong drink' ; see also english shicker 'drunk' by way of yiddish < hebrew šikkōr.

I was in France for almost a month last year for genealogy research and of all the regions I visited, Normandy was my least favorite. The pollution was horrible! I stayed in the village of La Remuee, which appeared to be rural (it wasn't really)? Honfleur was a pretty little town but touristy. Rouen had a rough vibe around the train station so I ended up just waiting inside to catch a train to Paris. Paris was amazing though and I'm ready to go back.
