A view of the hamlet from near Les 2 Sabots.

The local War Memorial, in this part of France WWII had a very direct effect with large numbers of civilian casualties in many places.

Another view of the hamlet, showing the rural nature of the vicinity.

A last view of the hamlet, looking down the track from Les 2 Sabots, the starting point for many walks in the unspoiled Norman countryside.

Close by is the Roche d'Oëtre, a renowned beauty spot which is well worth a visit.

Clécy on the river Orne is really beautiful, well worth taking the time to explore and enjoy - but you can say that about so many places in Normandy!  Photos by Steve Huddy.

Caen:

William the Conqueror's chateau in Caen, steeped in history Caen is also a thriving modern city with much to offer the visitor.  Photo by Steve Huddy.

Caen is a port linked to the sea by a ship canal, most of the old docks are now given over to pleasure craft such as this marina in the centre of the city.  Photo by Steve Huddy.

Some parts of the old city survived WWII as can be seen in this street scene, several of the most historic buildings can also still be seen including the Abbeys founded by William the Conqueror and his wife, Queen Matilda.  Photo by Steve Huddy.

Bayeux:

The main street in Bayeux and the bridge from which the first photo was taken.  The famous tapestry is well worth seeing, there is a very good display that explains what it all means not just "dry old history".  Photos by Steve Huddy.

Two views of the Saturday market in Bayeux, a very traditional French street market.  Photos by Steve Huddy.
