We had a very early start- 6 am wake up call and we left the chateau with heavy hearts and bags for some… to Paris. When leaving the grounds of the chateau we had to drive over a pink toilet roll which somehow had escaped James’s suitcase. We still don’t know how!! After a very […]

Breakfast consisted of homemade baguette and pain au chocolat. Truly delicious!!!! Everyone seemed to enjoy them. First stop was the British Cemetery at Bayeux which was very emotional as it contains -so many graves of British boys aged 17 and 18. We spent time looking at the gravestones of the Commonwealth military who are buried […]

The day started with a another fabulous breakfast at a later time than usual (8.45 am) which meant a longer and welcome lie in for everybody. After breakfast we went to Arromanche where we arrived at 10 am and saw a film in 360 degrees with real footage of the Second World War. This was […]
