Cap Manvieux — Attraction in Bayeux

Came here for a bit of a walk and to enjoy the views from the Cap. Also to see the leftovers from what was the D-Day Operation. We parked just down by the start of the path - at Parking La Breche. Limited spots, but free of charge.

At first, the path is really easy to manage and fully paved. We had our dog stroller with, so that was great. Later on you have the choice to keep on the paved path (sharing it with bicycles) or to take a more scenic but unpaved path. We took the scenic way, which was still manageable with our stroller.

The Cap has some really nice views. Some nice cliffs to the west. Everywhere around the Normandy here you will see Bunkers and other WWII reminders.

This is an ideal location to get a higher perspective on the Arromanches site and the remains of the D-Day harbor. It’s a perfect place for a peaceful walk with an incredible view, highly...

Boring as hell - unless you appreciate the story!

What Mulberry Harbour is, is exceptional. To think of the way everything in life has improved since - especially technology and engineering - yet they were able to sink entire, HUGE, harbours, and drag them across the channel to aid the debarkment! Incredible!

Loads of the harbour left. You can see it from elsewhere along the coast, but not as clearly.

○□◇HINT: Be careful entering the car park as there are huge pot holes! If we return, we'll be parking on the grass just outside of the car park...
