D-Day 80th Anniversay
D Day 80th Anniversary
Geraldine and Ida were the best hosts and their property is true to the photos; charming and comfortable. We stayed at the property at a very busy time. Nevertheless, Geraldine went above and beyond for us. She obtained access passes on June 6th, so we could travel freely in Normandy during this historical occasion. Visitors without the pass would be turned away at all the D Day commemorative sites due to special commemoration ceremonies for the 80th anniversary. She helped secure bicycles for us so we could avoid the heavy car traffic due to the anniversary activities. That was perfect as we did not have to be in traffic to get from Port-en-Bessin Huppain to Colleville-sur-mer. That enabled us to reach a remote parking area and walk the length of Omaha Beach to the Les Braves monument unreachable on those days by car.
When we arrived, we had a wonderful welcome package waiting for us of wine, cookies, chocolates, local Normandy information, maps of the town pointing out necessities like gas and groceries, as well as special schedules to all the D Day events being celebrated that week. Geraldine was also very communicative. We texted and spoke on several occasions. She was highly attentive. The departure instructions were clear and simple to follow, which made leaving the property very easy.
It was a trip of a life time made all that more special because of our helpful and generous hosts. We highly recommend staying here.
