Bayeux

Aire a little noisy at night (party goers or coming homers) but no problems and it is free with electric hook up.Woke up to a market in the square on sat morning . Everything from a needle to an anchor. Great vegetables meats ,fish and cooked food. Got ripped off here did some cheese tastings and "oh yes that one is nice we will have un petit peu. That cost us 18 Euro!!!! Don't talk about "Rip off Ireland we're only trottin after the French.
Off then for a bit of culture. The Bayeux Tapestry, Bayeux Cathedral and of course the D Day landing Beaches.The American Cemetery was very moving and disturbing to see thousands of white crosses and Stars of David just could not be captured on photo.Very well kept and laid out.
Weather not great drizzle rain and about 12 degrees. Might make a bigger effort to get further south in search of sunshine.
Met people who are staying in the same aire as us in the nearest bar. From Brittany near Le Pouldu ,they had no English and we little French but we managed a good nights conversation in a mixture of both and sign language. Told them we would phone hem when we hit Le Pouldu on our return in June for the singers week-end.
