Port Call in Le Havre: Mt St Michel and D-day Beaches

[wesp]

Is it possible to cover Mt. St. Michel and the D-day beaches in the same day? The Mt. St. Michel stop would probably be a "drive by" for the photo opportunity en route to the beaches.

Thanks.

Doubtful that you can visit both in the same day. From LeHavre, the D-Day beaches are closest. There are so many sites to see along the Normandy coast related to the invasion that there would be little time to travel to Mt. St. Michel, which is much further. I would suggest choosing one or the other. Although I would imagine you could drive all the way to Mt. St. Michel just for a photo op, it hardly seems worth it to drive such a long distance for that.

We visited the Normandy beaches and the town of Bayeux in June. I highly recommend the sites in this area. Although we, too, were tempted to visit Mt St Michel, it just wasn't feasible, or even possible, to do it all in a day.

Thank you for the information.
