Sue and I had wanted to see the D-Day beaches for a while, so we decided to spend some time near to Bayeaux so that we were fairly central for the visits. We stayed with the caravan in the grounds of a château at Martagny. These sites are supposed to be 'top notch', but this one could have done with better toilet facilities and a warmer swimming pool.
The first of the visits was to The Longues Battery. The concrete structures here are just huge with 1000's of tons of concrete. There were 4 - 152mm guns which threatened both Gold and Omaha beaches.
