Been here 3 times it is a great base to use to travel around Normandy. Only a few miles from the D Day beaches and this was the main reason I went here. The city its self is clean and well laid out. There is plenty of choice of places to eat or drink in and stay. The shopping here is very good from small cheese shops to the Hypermarkets. Well, worth a stop off if you are traveling through to other parts of Europe.
