Private Mont Saint-Michel - Bayeux or Caen

8 ore
Anulare gratuită

Explore the island of Mont-St-Michel, one of the most popular attractions in France with its medieval village and its stunning views on the largest bay in Europe. This historical site was declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1979. The place is surrounded by vast sandbanks and becomes an island only when the tides are very high. Originally called Mont-Tombe, the island became known as Mont-Saint-Michel in the 8th century due to a vision of a bishop that built the first sanctuary in 708. After that, the site turned into a pilgrimage site and in 966 a Benedictine abbey was built. Later, the island had been fortified and resisted the wars in 14th and 15th centuries. Then the site became a state prison under the French revolution until Napoleon III decided to close it in 1863. You will learn about the architecture but also the legends of the site with an opportunity to eat one the three local dishes : soufflé omelet, lamb or mussles.

Am vizitat Plaja Sword pentru că urmați ruta de aterizare de ziua D. Ne-am înșelat greșit presupunând că nu va fi atât de mult comercialism de-a lungul acestei rute. Este o destinație de litoral cu toate atributele turiștilor și vacanțelor. Este curată și îngrijită. Ne-am parcat mașina lângă drumul de plajă (parcare gratuită). Istoria sa este mult mai bine văzută și experimentată (din perspectiva istoriei) la unul dintre muzeele sau memorialele de-a lungul rutei.

We visited Sword Beach because we were following the Dday landings coastal route. Mistakenly we had assumed there would not be as much commercialism along this route. It's a seaside destination with all the attributes of tourists and holiday makers. It's clean and tidy. We parked alongside the beach road (free oarking). It's history is far better seen and experienced (from the history side of things) at one of the museums, or memorials further long the route.

Dificil de găsit - Google Maps te duce la un park de rulote. Fără semnalizare, fără informații. Am găsit o parte a plajei lângă un loc de odihnă pentru rulote, dar probabil că era mult mai mult de văzut. Din nou, plajele britanice sunt incredibil de neglijate în relație cu cele americane și canadiene, ceea ce este cu adevărat rușinos pentru o persoană britanică să recunoască.

Difficult to find - Google Maps takes you to a caravan park. No signage, no information. We found a part of the beach near a camper-van rest spot, but there was probably a lot more to see. Again, the British beaches are incredibly neglected in relation to the American and Canadian ones, which is genuinely shameful for a British person to admit.
