Open road to Falaise

Falaise road Calvados Normandy

The open road to Falaise this section of road was about 5 miles long without a bend.We enjoyed the drive to the town which is built on a hillside.

The town and the area round it was the site of a major battle during the Second World War from 12–21 August 1944. However our trip was to visit the castle of William the Conqueror who was born in the town.

The photo shows you his statue in the main square in front of the old church. The castle entrance is about 100yds away. There is plenty of places to park round the castle. The town has a good choice of places to eat. We bought two freshly made baguettes with cheese and salad from the shop in the picture. Which we ate in the castle car park. There is a picnic area right in front of the castle walls.
