Places to see in Britanny and Normandy (France)
 

Hi all,

I'll be on the road in August (last week) through Britanny and Normandy( from South to North), so any suggestion is welcome ( easy/medium off-road too).

Thanks in advance

You know it'll be packed with British tourists!

Beyond that (south to north)
Carnac has some impressive standing stones (literally miles of them). Concarneau is a pretty little fishing town with a fortified old town on an island in the bay.
The coast of Brittany is good, varied but high season caveat applies.
Inland plenty on small prehistoric monuments.
Mont st michel is obvious but to avoid the crowds go to the german ossuary about 5miles south-east - best view of m-s-m from the top (sorry not sure of exact location without looking at Michelin map).
The other side of cotentin peninsula loads of D-Day landing stuff -Arromanches has the main museum, Colleville-sur-Mer for the US cemetery.

Probably best advice is get a decent map! Personally prefer Michelin one, more detail & tourist info than others, scenic routes marked in green.
Have a good trip!

Thanks ntvfrog, specially for the advice about german ossuary. I did know nothing about it, it's a good tip ;) .

Hi again ntvfrog,

Might Huisnes-sur-Mer be the location for the german ossuary?

You can see it here: Huisnes-sur-Mer, France to Mont St Michel - Google Maps

Thanks in advance.

Yes, that's the one. Just north of the village off the D75 on rue mont d'huisnes.
Built to replace cemeteries that were understandably not popular with tha French after the war. An interesting counterpoint to the rest of the WW2 history in the area
