We spent 3 days in Bayeux which is a charming little town with a high street full of shops and a cathedral that defies the relatively small population. Our mission was to learn about the Battle of Normandy and the D Day Invasion. In the end it was more information than I really wanted or needed. I found the time exploring the Cathedral on my own much more satisfying. But I will include one picture of the crosses at the cemetery above Omaha Beach just to keep it real. In addition to the cemetery we spent time at the Caen Memorial, a museum about World War II. We also visited Omaha Beach, one of five stretches of sand invaded by the allies on June 6, 1944. Today we move on to the Loire Valley with a stop at Mont Ste Michel which our guide assures us is a major tourist trap.
