Camping des Capucines — Hotel in Lisieux

We stayed only one night en route to Cherbourg. We were welcomed by the owner, who loved our puckand mentioned that he also had one, quite a coincidence. There were plenty of places available and we were offered 2 pitches for the price of one allowing us to drive on and leave the caravan hooked up. The toilets ans showers were hot and there was also a large washing up room again with loads of hot water. The site is very close to the Pegasus bridge and the museum.

Handy for the D Day...

There are beautiful memorials in the village and the church to the 13th Battalion Paratroops who after bitter fighting freed this tiny village. The villages remembr the soldiers every year with a church service. Many War Commision graves are lovingly...
