| Arromanches |
Today we went to Bayeux to see the tapestry telling the story of William the Conqueror. Nice place. Then onto Longues sur Mer to see some of the big German gun emplacements and casemates. After that, Arromanches and the Mulberry harbour. This floating dock was personally overseen and pushed through by Winston Churchill. The metal structures, like piers, are still there, plus one section of deck, that would have linked up the metal pier things in the old days.

Stopped at Caen castle on the way home, built in 1060 odd, and always used since then. The walls survived. There's not many buildings inside.
