Definitely a place to come back to. Either rent a car to visit the beaches or take a guided tour. On the list to do when I come vack.
I stayed in the little town of Bayeaux, mostly known for the tapestry done of the Duke of Normandy and his rise to power. The cathedral in the center of town isn't too bad either.
I spent the next day at the WWII museum in Caen. It was very informative and useful. I had wanted to tour the beaches, but it is hard to do without a car or a reservation on a guided tour (neither of which I had). That's ok, it just goes on the list of places to come back to. :-)
That night I was at a restaurant having finished my dinner and enjoying my dessert, when these 3 older gentlemen came in. They were everything you hear about Americans being in Europe. They were very loud and boistorous and didn't care that they were. And they weren't even American, they were Canadian! As they sat down, I laughed at something one of them said, ice broken.
What first started out as 2 of them trying to set me up with the other who was in the restroom, soon turned into them trying to set me up with his son. A high school history teacher who loves to travel whose name is Ron. But he lives in Ottowa, and doesn't even know I exisit.
Another night of good food, great, fun conversation, and good company. Thanks fellas!!
