Alaskanb Posted February 21, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I am looking into Overlord tour 9B from Le Havre. I would like to hear personal experiences and especially timing in Bayeux. Is there time for lunch at a creperie and see the tapestry? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi - I haven't done this particular tour before but have extensive knowledge of the area as we visit several times every year - we're fortunate to have a small holiday place in Normandy. From Le Havre, it is a good 2 or so hours to get to the landing beaches, but you do pass Bayeux on route. There are not many eating places at the beaches, but several on route or in Bayeux. If you do want a creperie, I can highly recommend a galette complete - a delicious savoury crepe with cheese, ham and egg etc. I reckon you can get through the tapestry in an hour or so, but you shouldn't miss the old town and it's architecture as well as it's beautiful cathedral. If you can, you also pass Honfleur, just the other side of the Pont de Normandy. It's a delightful small town, quintessentially French surrounding an old harbour. Hope this helps a little?

Kevin Thank you Kevin. I think we will be using a private guide so that we can explore Bayeux, and maybe Honfleur, at our own pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
