D Day Aviators Le Manoir — Hotel in Bayeux

My family and I had a fantastic 2-day stay at D-Day Aviators Manoir. My 10-year-old son selected the hotel because of its D-Day aviation memorabilia, which is fantastic and includes the cockpit of a plane in the dining room. But we were pleasantly surprised by the location and accommodations. We were steps away from the remnants of Mulberry Harbor B, the D-Day Museum, the sea, and the shops and restaurants of Arromanches. The location could not have been better. The accommodations also were perfect for a family of four—two bedrooms, a common area, and a large bathroom with a shower, a separate bathtub, and double sinks. There also were two modern tvs with English available, a microwave, and a coffee maker. Most importantly, to me as an American who has encountered some unwelcoming locals on our trip to France, the couple who owns the Manoir are warm and welcoming. As we were leaving, my 8-year-old asked if we could come back to the hotel on a future trip. I definitely will if we visit the Normandy coast in the future. I would give the D-Day Aviators Le Manoir 6 stars if that...

I can’t say enough good things about this bed & breakfast. This was our first visit to the Normandy region and friends of ours had highly recommended that we stay here. Anne Florence was so warm & welcoming from the moment we checked in. Our rooms were in a separate building a couple of blocks from where we checked in. There was a full kitchen and seating area on the first floor. Our room was on the first floor and the couple we were traveling with stayed on the second floor. The rooms were lovely and very comfortable with wonderfully updated bathrooms and a small kitchen area. There is WWII aviation memorabilia everywhere. It is quite interesting and fascinating even for people who are not well versed in WWII history. Breakfast was amazing with homemade croissants and French baguettes with ham and local cheeses. On the day we checked out, Anne Florence showed us more of the memorabilia in the main house as well as her extensive bonnet collection, which was quite impressive...

The moment we checked in, the proprietress, Anne Florence greeted us with so much warmth and enthusiasm. The reason for our trip was for our father who was a US and Philippine jet fighter pilot, commercial captain and WWII history buff, to experience Normandie. ||The Manor was very tastefully decorated and the exquisitely designed bedrooms had modern bathrooms . The entire hotel was artfully decorated in WW1 and WW2 aviation artifacts. Wherever you turn there’s a story to be told for each piece you see. ||My father was completely enthralled by the entire manor and proprietress Anne was more than happy to show my father around and they shared stories about aviation history. ||The breakfast room was beautiful and light. The continental breakfast was delicious and it included local cheese from Normandy. ||My father who such high standards was so happy we stayed there. It’s one experience my father will...
