It is known for its beautiful beaches, rugged cliffs, and the remnants of the World War II D-Day landings. The town is steeped in history and offers a range of activities for visitors to enjoy. We visited the town on our journey along the Normandy coast.The town is about 10 miles from the port of Caen and a about the same from Houlgate
