Normandy Day 2 - William the Conqueror, D-Day beaches
Breakfast at the cottage, then second breakfast outside. A visit to William the Conqueror's castle in the town of Falaise, wonderfully restored with interactive displays. Then lunch in town at Restaurant Le Jardin, easily our best meal of the trip with the tarte tatin flambeed with calvados (apple brandy).

A drive north to Arromanches-les-Bains and one of the D-day beaches. This was a quick visit since we already toured the area and the American cemetery in 2010 pictures here. We even stopped for beer and onion soup the same place we ate 7 years ago! Back to our country cottage, pizza for dinner in Livarot.
