We’d not heard of the zoo before but happened to pass the zoo on our way to our accommodation, and decided to visit the next day. It’s by far one of the best zoos we’ve visited and is very good value - especially compared to zoos in the U.K. We were lucky enough to see all the animals, including the Puma hiding. Staff are very friendly too.

The visit to the zoo was quite enjoyable. We spent about three hours here. There are many different animals to see, all of which appeared to be in good health. You can follow two walking routes through the park. There is ample parking available, and the surrounding area is very wooded. The food offerings are limited, but that's not a big issue. There are also demonstrations, though only in French, and not much happened apart from some feeding. All in all, it was a nice experience. The toilets, however, were not of great quality in terms of hygiene.

Great zoo with two walking loops lasting about 3.5 hours. Wide variety of Animals who looked in great condition and the white lion was particularly spectacular. We used a Groupon discount but no family tickets were available.

A perfect day out for the family, lots of animals and they are very well looked after… take a pack lunch the restaurant is slow and expensive but apart from that it’s a wonderful zoo.

We had a wonderful day out here, brought a picnic with us, kids loved it and kept going for about 5 hours, plenty seating options all around the park

One of the best zoo we've ever been to finally enjoyed our time. Would highly recommend

Went here while holidaying in France and we were glad we did. The park is very clean and all the animals are well kept and looked after. The park is split into two areas, yellow and blue. Yellow you will find the more exotic animals while the blue you will find your more domesticated animal. Both area's are great to wander round and both are easy even if you find it difficult to walk. Plenty of area's to sit and view the different animals. The price is 18.50euros per adult, a family ticket you are looking at 45euros which is for 2 adults and 2 children. Children under 3 go free, there is a cafe where you can get a drink and a snack or you can opted for a full blown meal in the restaurant. While we were there we never saw a zoo keeper, which I don't know is a good or bad thing as the animals all seemed very contented and all were on display. If you are in the area I would highly recommend a visit as you will enjoy your time here.

The park is amazing, and so are the people who work there. All the attractions, both thrilling and relaxing, are great! The food is good too.

I am in love with the activities the staff are very single thing. I have a special thanks to the staff I dealt with they were very warm and supportive…

There is plenty of parking when you enter the site. Then you follow the footpath down into the valley where all the activities are based. The luge was great fun and reasonably priced. The 40+ zip wires through the trees is brilliant and lasts for well over 1 hour and only costs €12 which is good value for money. There are several places to eat and they were all busy at peak lunch time.

Great day with my son zip wiring sky bridge walk staff very nice ,mountain luge really fun and yummy cakes thank you

Thanks to the team at AJ hackett Normandy! I got the jump for my Wife's birthday to experience the thrill of doing something daring and exciting to live life on the edge literally!!

Great zip line ride. Very attentive staff. Merci.

Great place, great and super friendly team. Take the jump and enjoy👌 Pura Vida!

Small but superb museum. Far away from the crowds with many interesting items both from germans and the allies. You can see rifles, pistols, uniforms, military viechles, bombs and watch a movie about WW2 in a movie vie hall. The most interesting thing for me was the small diorama that was built there. So if you are visiting Bayeux this museum is a must see.

If you want to know and focus on the D-Day invasion and then liberation of Normandy, this is a good museum for the chronological and factual accounting of both sides. Available in French and English, there is a good deal of written material to accompany some artifacts from small to large set pieces. A few are outside in the parking lot area. Free parking. EV charging station.

Wow, this place is amazing and haunting at the same time, unbelievable what these men did for our country. The place was immaculately looked after, so pristine. There is so much love from the French to the British all around this area. Makes me proud.

Very informative museum with loads of interesting displays just allow enough time to get round all the displays. The CWWG Commission Cemetery is very close by and within walking distance. Plenty of parking on site.

Very well-organized museum with detailed exhibits and original World War II artifacts. It clearly explains the context of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. An emotional and must-see visit if you're in the area.

If you like military history, this is a fabulous museum. It focuses on the landings in Normandy and stops at Falaise pocket. The uk occupied Bayeux so there is a strong Uk element to the story. The story and pictures are moving. The hardware interesting. The signs are detailed and you should allow 2 hrs if you like to read and study the info. The shop on exit is good.

Very interesting and comprehensive over view of the campaign. Some great exciting exhibits of uniform and equipment too.

A beautifully well kept cemetery which shows respect for the war dead. We visited the German and American war cemeteries which accounted for the fallen from the Normandy battles and this is very different. It is completely open, the cemetery has the graves of British, Canadian, French, Soviet, Italian and many German graves. It is well worth visiting to walk amongst the fallen.

One of the highlights of our trip around Normandy. We had visited the American cemetery earlier the same day, but for us, this one was even more emotional. Of course, it being commonwealth had a lot to do with that given where I am from, but I loved the way it was laid out, the flowers brightened it up and the care that was taken here was something else. Also loved seeing other nations represented other than the UK

Emotional and poignant experience for all my family (we have several WW2 veterans in our close family). I was most struck by the young age of many of the fallen, many the same age as my daughter who was by my side as we walked down the well flowered aisles. A far more touching and accessible tribute than the American Cemetery.

My visit to this cemetery in June 2024 during the 80 year remembrance of the D-Day Invasion of Normandy was a chilling and humbling experience. So many lives were shed and paid to bring about peace in the World. May we never have to go through a war like this again. And yet, at this moment the Ukraine is involved in a dragged out war with Russia. And already thousands of children, women & men were killed in Gaza in the war with Israel 😭😭😭 “From Wikipedia …The Bayeux War Cemetery is the largest Second World War cemetery of Commonwealth soldiers in France, located in Bayeux, Normandy.[1] The cemetery contains 4,648 burials, mostly from the Invasion of Normandy. Opposite this cemetery stands the Bayeux Memorial which commemorates more than 1,800 casualties of the Commonwealth forces who died in Normandy and have no known grave.[1][2]” wikipedia

A very moving but a beautiful & peaceful last resting place for those who lost their lives in the Battle for Normandy. I was in tears in front of my teenage son with the enormity of the loss of life and I find it hard for those buried whose name is not known. As I was walking through the cemetery, I noticed a grave with a distinctive surname which is in my family. Without initially realising it, I had discovered the grave of a previously unknown third cousin and it was afterwards when I researched F A Deeming that I realised that Frederick Alfred Deeming was a relation - He has now been added to my family tree so he will continue to be remembered. Free to visit.

Given that this and other sites are dedicated to those who made the ultimate sacrifice so that I and others can enjoy our lives. As I walk around, I stand in silence. I hope that they believe the sacrifice was not in vain. Given the young age of the soldiers, I know that I have led a full and happy life, all thanks to those who fought so that I did not have to. In sorrow, I look at those graves of the unknown soldiers with a lot of sadness that they are lost and known only to God.

Absolutely sobering experience. Almost 5000 graves of young people who died here in 1945, during the D Day landings and the push for the liberation of Europe. Immaculately kept by the war graves comission. Do consider donating.

(Translated by Google) After carrying out significant work in the town center of Saint-Lô, I note that uncontrolled parking persists, particularly opposite La Mie Câline. As a pedestrian, I frequently have to deal with motorists who park on the sidewalks and ask me to move, even though I am legitimately walking in the space reserved for me. I remind you that article R417-11 of the Highway Code formally prohibits the parking of motorized vehicles on sidewalks, with the exception of motorcycles, motor tricycles and mopeds, but only if this does not interfere with the movement of pedestrians and that this is authorized by signage or local bylaws. In all other cases, this constitutes an offense described as "very annoying", punishable by a fine of €135 (4th class fine). Despite the presence of an A.S.V.P. agent. put in place by the town hall, I find this measure very good but insufficient. Violations continue to occur daily, and disrespectful behavior by motorists endangers the safety of pedestrians, despite parking being available nearby. For a simple wand or a quick passage, some motorists take liberties to the detriment of pedestrian safety. This is becoming difficult to accept, and it would be desirable for measures to be taken more seriously by the town hall to regulate this type of behavior. Compliance with parking rules and pedestrian safety should be a priority. (Original) Après la réalisation de travaux significatifs dans le centre-ville de Saint-Lô, je constate que le stationnement anarchique persiste, notamment en face de La Mie Câline. En tant que piéton, il m'arrive fréquemment de devoir faire face à des automobilistes qui se garent sur les trottoirs et me demandent de me déplacer, alors que je marche légitimement sur l'espace qui m'est réservé. Je rappelle que l'article R417-11 du Code de la route interdit formellement le stationnement des véhicules motorisés sur les trottoirs, à l'exception des motocyclettes, tricycles à moteur et cyclomoteurs, mais uniquement si cela ne gêne pas la circulation des piétons et que cela est autorisé par la signalisation ou les arrêtés locaux. Dans tous les autres cas, cela constitue une infraction qualifiée de "très gênante", passible d’une amende de 135 € (contravention de 4e classe). Malgré la présence d’un agent A.S.V.P. mis en place par la mairie, je trouve cette mesure très bien mais insuffisante. Les infractions continuent de se produire quotidiennement, et les comportements irrespectueux des automobilistes mettent en péril la sécurité des piétons, et ce, malgré un parking disponible à proximité. Pour une simple baguette ou un passage rapide, certains automobilistes prennent des libertés au détriment de la sécurité des piétons. Cela devient difficilement acceptable, et il serait souhaitable que des mesures soient prises plus sérieusement par la mairie pour réguler ce genre de comportements. Le respect des règles de stationnement et de la sécurité des piétons devrait être une priorité.

I then made an appointment on June 21 (1 month later) to validate my request but I had to cancel because I was ultimately not available. So I came today to validate my request (2 months later) because "This confirmation will take place no earlier than one month after receipt of your request" (official public service site), so I was able to leave my month of reflection. However, the person who received me refused to make this confirmation because "the 1 month deadline has passed". I think they don't know what "minimum 1 month" means...

Such a historical and somber site. I was here 50 some years ago too and the feeling of sacrifice is still as strong as ever. We were blessed with the honor of a wreath presentation on behalf of our group - Team Shelby. It was a short but very significant ceremony that I shall never forget. The French administrators were so welcoming and professional. Not a dry eye as they played the Star Spangled Banner followed by TAPS as the wreath was presented. Interesting note - the water in the reflection pool is dyed black to symbolize the death that occurred in Normandy.

Beautifully kept cemetery. The whole place has so much emotion. It was very busy when we arrived, the car park is huge but it can still be very hard to find a space. Easy access to the beach and bunkers/gun posts from the car park. This is a must visit if you are in the area and interested in the war/D-Day. Overlord museum nearby also worth a visit.

Great place to visit that really instills a sense of honor. When you look at all the grave markers it is really humbling experience. I would recommend a couple of things. 1.Take the time to look at all the maps and information when you first enter near the memorial statue. 2. The reflection pool was beautiful when we went so that is between the information walls and graves 3 I would recommend walking to the right and seeing the views of the water and walking around from that side and looping back

A beautifully kept cemetery and a somber memorial. It is most certainly important to visit to remember all those that fought to give us our freedom today. Must visit if you are in the area and want to remember the sacrifices made during WW2.

A Profoundly Moving Experience at Normandy American Cemetery Visiting the Normandy American Cemetery was an unforgettable and deeply moving experience. Perched above Omaha Beach, this hallowed ground is a poignant tribute to the American soldiers who gave their lives during the D-Day invasion and subsequent battles of World War II. The sight of thousands of white marble crosses and Stars of David, meticulously aligned across the serene landscape, is both humbling and heart-wrenching. The cemetery’s peaceful beauty contrasts starkly with the violent history it commemorates, creating a powerful atmosphere of reflection. The visitor center adds depth to the experience, with its detailed exhibits and personal stories of courage and sacrifice. Walking among the graves, reading the names, and realizing the scale of loss left me with a profound sense of gratitude and reverence. This is more than a historical site—it’s a sacred place that honors the bravery of those who fought for freedom. I highly recommend visiting to pay respects and reflect on the cost of liberty. Bring tissues, and prepare for a deeply emotional journey.

I visited the Normandy American Cemetery in November 2023. Although I had to go through it quickly because it was close to closing time, I was deeply moved by the history and sacrifice of those who fought so bravely in the war. For those wondering where the Niland brothers are buried, their graves are located in Plot F, Row 15. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful — one of them even guided us directly to the site. I highly recommend visiting Omaha Beach and the Overlord Museum before coming to the cemetery. It’s a powerful and emotional experience that brings a deeper understanding of history. Thank you to all Allied soldiers who fought in WWII. Your courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Visited the Normandy American Cemetery today and was deeply touched. The grounds are immaculate, and the atmosphere is both peaceful and powerful. A moving tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of so many. An unforgettable experience. It closes at 17:00.

Hard to describe all the emotions of being in this place were so many young men died . You can feel it.... looking out at the beach and the sea it's so hard to imagine the horrors of D day . A must see

Omaha Beach, France...home of perhaps the most iconic battle in the history of our country. Certainly one of the most brutal and deadly. Hopefully I will get to go there in the future

It was inspiring to learn about how the soldiers fought to reclaim France. The beach was nice and empty, and there were roses along the beach.

You would never know just by looking at this peaceful, sandy beach that on June 6, 1944, this became the bloodiest of the five DDAY landing sites. It is located adjacent to the Normandy American Cemetery which is the final resting place for over 9,000 American servicemen. There are some remnants of the fighting here such as pillboxes, rusting amoured vehicles, etc. There are also two museums next to the beach that have many exhibits from that fateful day. This beach is a living page from history and it should be remembered that freedom is never free.

I love the fact that they left the beach empty of bulky memorials and let people just stand there and appreciate the gravity of what took place there and the obsitcles they had to face. Except one structure the beach is fairly empty. Must do when I. Normandy.

Very busy mid August with a lot of tourists and local beach goers. There were families playing and people swimming where 80 years ago thousands of young men lost their lives. The sand it clean and soft. It’s still worth seeing but may be more busy than sentimental given its current state.

Fantastic visit where the crowds were remembering those that fell during the d-day landings. The events were really a fitting tribute.

Historically it's a great place. However, it's let down by the neglect of the area. Most if not all areas are no admittance. Barriers all over the place. The visitors center has no café/restaurant. Nothing for refreshments after a long cycle in the heat. My poor wife was exhausted. That's just my gripe and as I said, Historically very important.

A place worth visiting even as not of the bunkers are accessible. The main one was still open Andean be accede. Great view from the top.

Visited Pointe du Hoc today and was truly moved. The cliffs, the craters, and the preserved bunkers tell a powerful story of courage and sacrifice. A beautifully maintained historic site that offers a deep and humbling experience. Highly recommended for anyone interested in World War II history.

Very disappointing. In the name of eco BS, they have let weeds and bushes grow inside and around the craters. it’s a shame! They have put a fence all around the site, making us follow a path. Impossible to walk around the craters Bunkers are closed. We cannot visualize and feel what the soldiers have been through.

Famous cliff the Army Rangers assaulted and took on D-Day. Some of the bunkers have become unstable and to can no longer climb on them or enter, but the command post at the very point and a couple bunkers and a gun site were still open in May 2025. You will walk out through a field that is full of craters, passing by a display of placard that offer tidbits of excellent background. Well worth a visit to get a perspective of not only what the rangers had to deal with in their assault also to get a vista of the Normandy beaches and cliffs. Unless you have extreme of mobility issues you should be able to get all the way out to the point, As long as you can traverse a gravel path.

One of the must places to visit. The only place where there are still visible the shelling drops, the fights are still clearly visible on site I was disappointed that many of the places routes were closed, no access to get on top of the bunkers despite the supporting structures. This is something which has clearly changed recently as there are plenty of pictures available online.

Incredible views and powerful history. The craters and bunkers show the intensity of the battle. A must-see to understand the scale of the D-Day landings.

Beautiful Cathedral and a little market on the square in front. Le Jardin des Plants very pretty and colourful. Lovely little shops but were closed because is the 1st of May.

Beautiful cathedral with lots of chapels to stop off in and wonderful stained glass windows. They also had some mini exhibitions dotted along. Free to enter and a lovely atmosphere.

A magnificent cathedral with 2 spires and a large, ornate central tower. Many beautiful stained glass windows in a variety of styles and also terrific murals and painted columns and walls (see my photos attached). I also highly recommend reading through the website listed as it is very informative and well-presented.

Loved the crossing piece, just like Ely cathedral.

An astonishing granite building of surprising height. Started in the C11 and reconstructed in in the C12 in Gothic style. It has an unusual galleried central tower with fan vault supports. The ancient stained and painted glass is all original because it survived the allied bombing in June 1944 intact. Many religious paintings add to the atmosphere. A must-see iconic cathedral. Free to get in.

An amazing cathedral, wonderful feeling inside and some great architecture.

The architecture is interesting and as well as the stained glass windows.

Nice free gardens that are worth visiting. We went on a wet day and the colours were still vibrant.

These gardens are beautifully kept and there are many imaginative displays and specimens. We have visited many times over the last 25 years. On this occasion we were put off taking our under 2 grandson to the children's area as it had been commandeered by teenagers. Whilst we could have tried asking them to leave we didn't feel up to a confrontation and left them to it.

At 74 and a lover of Gardens and Parks, Coutances Jardin must rank amongst my all time favourites. So delightfully intimate and imaginative, the garden designers take a theme each year and create amazing storyboards from flower beds.... A must visit (the town and Cathedral are lovely too)

Late September and the gardens were still a riot of colour. If only our own garden could exhibit such beautiful displays. We spent about an hour here in the peace and solitude. Lovely place.

Really nice garden in this very nice, historical city. Really a delight to have this gardens in the middle of the city.

We couldn’t go because no dogs are allowed. It looked beautiful from the gate

Lovely gardens, really well maintained and full of flowers.

This was one of the highlights of our Normandy visit. The D-Day Experience Museum offers a well-curated and very moving look at the D-Day invasion. The C-47 flight simulator was a fantastic immersive experience that really helped convey what the paratroopers faced. The museum also includes a large collection of uniforms, weapons, artifacts, and personal stories — all presented in a very engaging way. One of the standout elements was the Tom Brokaw–narrated film, which provided an excellent overview of the invasion and the human stories behind it. The museum is located right next to Dead Man’s Corner in Saint-Côme-du-Mont — where a Sherman tank was destroyed in front of the building that served as the HQ for the German Fallschirmjäger Regiment 6 (elite paratroopers). This location adds a powerful layer of historical context to the visit. Highly recommend spending time here — it’s an incredibly well-done museum that brings history to life. #DDayExperienceMuseum #DeadMansCorner #NormandyWWII #DDayHistory #SaintComeDuMont #C47Simulator #NormandyTravel

This is a museum you definitely want to visit when you're in Normandy. We did the film, the simulator, and visited the museum. The film is beautifully made and gives a clear depiction of the actual battles during D-Day and the days that followed. The 3D effect is fun, but not very impressive—3D films are a bit out of fashion in 2025. The simulator is well done but rather short. The museum itself isn’t very innovative, but the whole package is well worth it. We spent about two hours here. There’s also a lot you can buy, such as army clothing and even weapons. However, I do wonder if you’ll get into trouble if you try to take these weapons across the border.

Fantastic! There are many one-of-a-kind historical items on display here. That are attributed to certain veterans, many of which became famous due to the band of Brothers series. The museum does a great job of telling the personal stories of the men who fought and died here. The flight simulator is a must in my opinion however I wish I had skipped the 3d movie and spent that time in the museum. If you’re into ww2 history already the movie probably won’t tell you anything you don’t already know. in my opinion it’s for people who don’t already know about the events that took place in Normandy. You could easily spend a day in this museum. Spoiler, Normandy is full of great museums related to the D-Day landings. that are all failed with World War II artifacts. However, this museum combined with the flight simulator really is an experience, and I would put it at the top of the list.

A great museum — very detailed, with an excellent selection of gifts. The flight simulator, however, was underwhelming. It might appeal to children, but for adults, it’s quite basic, with simple effects and a very short duration. What stood out, though, was the pre-flight ‘briefing’ experience, which does a good job of making you feel like part of the mission.

If you go here after the Victory Museum you will be disappointed. It's more expensive but less well done. The flight simulator is nice but the exhibition is disappointing. Everything behind glass so hard totale pictures.

Great day here and exploring Carentan. Movie was 10/10 Simulator 5/10 ( don't expect too much). The Museum, and shop are FAB! I have never seen so much authentic 1944 /1945 gear for sale, amazing!

We couldn't come to Normandy and not learn something about the D-Day landings. The D-Day Experience was nearest to us, a good drive away, and Utah beach not far past it for a visit afterwards. Definitely pre-book to get the 3D cinema and paratrooper plane simulator experiences nicely timed. The museum exhibits will mean all the more if you have seen the film and experienced the simulator first. The centre is US focused as Utah beach was a US force landing. There is lots to read (in English and French), but all personal, meaningful experiences bringing home the tragic horror of the invasion, lots of jackets, but each one represents a life and individual experience of the invasion. The story of Dead Man's Corner is particularly poignant, especially as the house has not changed since the invasion, shows how the location of the museum and the DMC junction was central to the invasion and presents the German perspective in a tasteful way. Makes you want to know the story of each beach landing. A well put together and thought out presentation of a sensitive if very important world event.

Great museum! The installations are interesting and varied, while the exhibit itself is done with respect without veering into the "pathetic" or overly heroic. It's well split into topics of the operations and the importance of Utah Beach specifically within Operation Overlord. Thanks again!

As interested as I am in WW11 and the Normandy landings, this was poor for me. The museum wouldn't be a patch on the Airborne Museum in Ste Mere Eglise. That said, it is definitely worth visiting and take in how these brave lads fought and died for what we all have today.

Wish we had more time here, but we were with a tour group from Paris and had time constraints. It’s an awesome museum filled with so much history. Such a solemn place filled with so much sacrifice.

It is a place where sadness and malinchony caused by the heaviness of history strugled me.. but is also a place where man wrote History sacrifying their lives. Be respectful is the minimum visitors can do. The museum itself is very well done, the hangar is the main attraction but also the other rooms are intriguing. This is a must see Museum as all the other museums in the area.

Great place to visit, very profound experience. The beauty and at the same time the historical magnitude creates a feeling difficult to articulate.

A great place to visit. Huge detail in exhibits to evole the DDay landings, the personnel involved and an explanation of the build up to the Landings and how each day unfolded. Very atmospheric - huge credit to all iAllies nvolved. The Allied forces were very brave supported by the French Resistance and Free French. Could easily spend several hours at the museum - stunning views over the beach. A great cafe/ bar worth visitinfg too.

Great Museum wit a lot of history and the B52 is for sure the main attraction 🤩. There is also a lot to see outside the Museum.

It's a beautiful little castle. Its history is very interesting and you can get a brochure describing it in a lot of different languages (not just French, which is very helpful). It's the only castle we've visited in Normandy where you can go inside and see a lot of the rooms that have been restored and you can even walk on the castle walls. Entrance fee is 7€ per person, but they use it for the restauration.

Lovely spot good restaurant

Renovated well with a good appreciation of the keep and out buildings. An impressive moat.

A wonderful moated 12th century castle, restored this century from a ruin. €7 closed Tuesday. Most of the castle is accessible, living rooms, kitchen, cider press etc. The towers and roof have great views. The old lodgings give a good feeling of how it was to live here. Amazing tapestry (in the style of Bayeaux) shows the history of the castle and its fortunes and fall. Definitely worth a visit.

A pleasant little castle worth a quick visit if passing by. The long history is interesting, with its coaching fortunes through the centuries. Instant rampart walk as well.

Pretty chateau well worth a visit, we spent about 1.5hrs there on a rainy morning exploring the castle, we did the battlements walk twice as the kids loved the tricky spiral staircases and being up on top of the castle. The staff were welcoming and gave us an information sheet in English explaining the history of the castle. The facilities are quite basic, no cafe but a little gift shop, not great if you have any mobility problems.

Viking village event. The ambience of the chateau is quite magical. Best visited when it is less busy. When they organise big events the parking provisions are inadequate

On the same level as the Victory Museum with as a topic the landings in June 44 to backup the invasion on the beaches. All is very well done, the visual guide I never saw anywhere but the should have that in every museum. My son loved it and said that although everyone is speaking about D-day experience your museum is hundred times better.

An amazing museum. 5 different buildings showing such information. There's one which emulates what it's like to be in an aircraft ready to parachute into the abyss. The noise is scary and gives you an small idea of what those boys went through. Most interesting and 2 hours at least needed. There is a cafe and shop, of course.

Really easy to find, good access and parking, gets crowded at peak times due to the nature of its significance both as a museum and town. The museum is not expensive £10 each and boasts pods of the elements of the airborne tactics and features. Nice to see an actual glider, aircraft and artefacts relating to their conquest of the village. Well worth a visit, toilets, shop, exit/entrance right into the village and famous eglise

Absolutely do not miss if you are near. This museum has been completely renovated with fantastic exhibits. Everything is bi lingual. Parking is easy in front (pay parking).

As well as the museum, the town is a must see. Watch The Longest Day movie before visiting to give you a flavour of what the soldiers went through, and then see up close how they did it. The museum pays them homage in a very professional way. Well worth admittance fee. A definite stop off for when visiting the normandy landings region. 👍🏼 Big carpark near to the entrance for motorhomes (€2 for 8 hours), and you can park there overnight for a cost. Several good cafes and bars around the square to make the most of the day out.

This museum is well thought out with approximately 5 separate buildings representing different themes and time periods. The museum displayed many authentic items of the different periods in history.

Outstanding museum that provides an excellent sense of what happened on D Day. Engaging presentation, well maintained and a must-see.

This historic church played a significant role during the D-Day landings 80 years ago. Occupied by German forces, it still bears visible scars from that pivotal night, serving as a powerful reminder of the past. Visitors can step inside and experience a sense of stepping back in time, surrounded by history. The church features stunning stained glass windows dedicated to the paratroopers who descended from the sky, honoring their bravery and sacrifice.

loved our visit to Ste Mere Eglise and the Church with the paratrooper hanging from the steeple. The stained glass is lovely and nothing has changed since 1944.

Beautiful monument and surrounding area. Visited here as part of the 75th anniversary of the d-day invasion (1944-2019). Incredible opportunity to share an experience with Americans, Canadians, French, Dutch, and Belgians. Although the area was quite busy, it was a wonderful time. I highly recommend visiting to take in the history and sacrifice of our nation(s) heroes.

My husband wanted to see this church and the parachuter as he is a Longest Day fan. Not much to do in this village besides viewing the church and the Airborne Museum, which we skipped. Just by chance, we opened the church day to an amazingly beautiful church still in use.

Beautiful church in a pittoresque town. Nice restaurants in the area too. The Airborne museum is also here.

Beautiful church with a fascinating story

When in Normandy be sure to spend some time in the small villages, especially Ste. Mere Eglise. Several cafes and shops in addition to the church and museum. If you don't know by now, let me fill you in, this is the church in the movie Longest Day. I believe there were several paratroopers that landed on this church, one died, one escaped out of his chute and the third one remained and played dead until they made him a prisoner of war. Another unlucky paratrooper landed inside a burning building, poor guy, so go the stories. To this day there is still a parachute w/a dummy hanging on the steeple, but he's facing the plaza so everyone can see him but he actually was hanging on the opposite side away from the plaza. We were here with a tour group and this is definitely worth the visit.

Nice place for a walk

(Translated by Google) An island worth a little detour. Its fort, its magnificent gardens, its fauna, its flora, a pleasant moment away from the traffic.

Literally fantastic. So French you think you might see Jean-Paul Sartre or Toulouse-Lautrec in a corridor of this labyrinth. Everything you might need and lots you don't for sale here.

An absolutely gorgeous shop. The interior design in the shop is fabulous. Lots of lovely things to buy and to look at. Will definitely return.

Really cool delicacies store. They have a huge alcohol cellar as well as all kinda of regional products and delicacies. They also have some home decor stuff. Everything is packaged in an old french aesthetic style. It is a little on the expensive side, but I think it's worth checking out if you're in the area.

It was the main reason for returning to St Vaast. Brilliant shop, so many unusual goodies, as well as the best wine cave ever! If you are in the harbour on a boat, they will deliver. Super.

What a great place!!! I think you can get everything in this shop! They have a large selection of Ardbeg a usually quite special Scotch. And around every corner there is the next surprise

Well worth a visit just to browse or buy oddities and deliciousness if you have deep pockets

What a cool store! I haven't bought anything but the decor and set up just give a great feel. I was tempted to buy a bunch of food but was only staying for a short time in the area so decided not to.

€3 is reasonable for such a great view, even in poor weather. Would’ve liked more information about the lighthouse. Still cool to see! Not for the faint of heart

This is really worth seeing. The entrance fee is well spent. The sight you get at the top of the light tower is amazing. It wasn't as exhausting as I expected it to be, and every now and then you see how many steps you have managed, written on the steps.

365 stairs I didn't get to walk because I had my dog with me - still not sure if that's a W or an L to miss those. View from above is extraordinary as I got told. There is seals in the water nearby, way more interesting to be honest

This is the second tallest lighthouse in all of Europe! It's 75 meters tall. To reach the top you need to buy tickets for 3€ and be ready to climb 365 steps to the observation deck. This all is well worth the effort because the view is astonishing.

Remarkable: the 3rd highest traditional lighthouse in the world.

À must go at night time on a clear sky night if you want to see the real greatness of this lighthouse. Just amazing lighting! The light beam can be see 50km away!

75m high lighthouse, it is worth to climb up (3.50 Euro/person)!

One of the places you should never miss to visit for some delicious cookies and tea's. Superb!

It's a wonderful place. Very sweet ☺️

Very nice arrangement of sweet and very tasty things. Service is very friendly and helpful. It is worth to stop here!!!

Their butter biscuits are counted among the best biscuits I've ever had. The little house is a bit of a trek to get to, but once you're there you'll be glad you did. Apart from biscuits, there are all sorts of things to buy including stuffed toys, artisan chocolates, organic products and surprisingly, a range of exotic spices that I couldn't find anywhere else in Cherbourg. It's a great family day out and there's even a tea salon where one can test the goods before you buy a box of whatever.

Beware! Make sure you really buy is what tasted so good at the entrance! We bought packages that turned out to be factory baked supermarket standard pastries at a very high price. Not what we expected. A tourist trap business model deserves nothing but the lowest possible rating, even though the on-site products are of the highest quality.

The building is picturesque, both inside and out. La Maison du Biscuit features high quality snacks, treats, drinks, and spices and is a perfect place to buy gifts for friends and family. I can personally recommend the madeleines and the Caramels d'Isigny, which are delicious and perfect if you want to share a taste of France with a large group of people. Also be sure to check out the tea room! It’s relaxing atmosphere and wide selection of teas and accompaniments are sure to please any tea lover.

Below average. No Wi-Fi. Poor service. It was Sunday and I ordered their breakfast deal set for €8,50. The hot coffee was very watery (not strong enough) not hot enough. The confiture was too liquid and dripped all over my hands. The brioche and bread were so so. Given the less-than-ordinary quality, this was too expensive. The restaurant is in a valley, thus no mobile signal and, what’s worse, they don’t provide Wi-Fi for their guests. I see this as a major shortcoming. If they provided Wi-Fi, people would spend more time sitting in and ordered more food. It is obvious what their business model is—to handle large volume of tourists who never return. Consequently, there is no motivation to provide quality service and products. The environment of the restaurant was not attractive. The windows were dirty. I will not return.

You will be surprised on how nice this area can be, as soon as the is shining.

Nice little stop. Huge beach with hardly anyone there (when we were there)

Love this place

(Translated by Google) Great day, beautiful place (Original) Super journée belle endroit

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place. From the rocky plateau you have a spectacular view of very wide beaches (Plage de Potiniére, Plage de la Vieille Église), rocks and the sea, all the way to the Channel Island of Jersey. You can park for free near the lighthouse and from there explore the dunes of Hatainville via the dune hiking trail. (Original) Wunderschöner Ort. Vom Felsplateau aus hat man eine spektakuläre Aussicht auf sehr breite Stände (Plage de Potiniére, Plage de la Vieille Église), Felsen und das Meer, bis zur Kanalinsel Jersey. Parken kann man kostenlos in der Nähe des Leuchtturms und von dort aus über den Dünenwanderpfad die Dünen von Hatainville erkunden.

(Translated by Google) Nice little lighthouse, well restored, offering a magnificent view of the beaches and neighboring islands. On the trail, a map perfectly explains the location of each island, very cool idea! (Original) Chouette petit phare bien restauré offrant une magnifique vue sur les plages et les îles avoisinantes. Sur le sentier, une carte expliqué parfaitement l´emplacement de chaque île , très chouette idée !

This parc is stunning. The gardens have a wide variety of flora of all kinds of interesting shapes and colors. The Chateau itself is beautiful and nestles in among the trees and flowers as though in a fairy-tale. There is a pond in the middle with a large duck community, and their lazy floating about is very peaceful and calming. Although there were other visitors besides us, they were well spaced apart. Entry is free. This place is not over-run by tourists. It is somewhat off the beaten path, but I urge you to make the time to go there. You won't regret it.

A very charming and well looked after castle dating from the 16th century. Beautiful gardens. Lots.of picnic spots and places for kids to play. It is a shame that there is no little cafe on site for refreshments in the grounds. However the parking is free and there is no charge to go in and wonder around the grounds. Made a lovely couple.of hours wait before going on the ferry back home.

Absolutely stunning park, incredibly peaceful and quiet. We came here for lunch after our ferry arrived in Cherbourg. Our kids enjoyed walking around and doing cartwheels on the grass. They were very pleased to find a couple of parks to play in too!

The castle is closed but the grounds are open and no cost to enter. The grounds are beautiful and meticulously maintained with ponds, trees, flowers growing over several acres. Well worth the short ride on a city bus to get to the castle. You can ride the bus all day with a 4 euro pass.

A nice place for a short stroll through a neatly trimmed park for a relaxing walk. Besides different endemic and non-endemic plants you will see fountains, ponds and an orangery. No entrance fee.

The parc is very nice with quite a few rare trees and plants. The views of the castle across the lake are spectacular. It is also fun for kids. The kids played hide and seek between the high grass and enjoyed the large playground. This place is however not very interesting if you wish to admire the inside of the castle. We could only visit a small part of the castle and the castle was on the inside not in good shape.

Well worth a visit. We just popped in to kill half an hour before getting the ferry home and wished we had a bit longer. Lovely gardens

The museum currently houses 3 separate expositions: The Titanic (very impressive, also because the 2nd pickup stop of the actual Titanic happened really there at that specific location); Sea life throughout the times; and a guided tour through an actual immense submarine. Well suited for all ages. Great to go to with kids. The are quite some stairs, but there are elevators too.

Another well worth to visit museum! Highest recommendations! Submarine-that’s unreal! Aquarium-very nice! Titanic experience! That’s 3in1 location. 21€ adult ticket, big parking. Must see attraction !

Definitely worth a visit if you are either staying in Cherbourg or just visiting for the day! Make sure this a stop on yourself visit. It encompasses three different attractions in one, this being the submergables and vehicle museum, the redoutable submarine and the aquarium. And not forgetting the Titanic museum.

We visited recently as part of a cruise stop with a teen and 8yo. The Titanic exhibition was the main draw for us and it was really informative and well done. The issue is that all the immersive elements and audio visual exhibits are walkways, so it’s impossible to watch anything and enjoy the full experience without people constantly walking past. This completely ruined the experience for us. The ocean exhibit is smaller but really excellent and the kids loved it. We didn’t get to see the sub as it was an hour to queue which we were advised on entry, and the place is generally oversold and too busy to enjoy properly. If you don’t mind a jam packed overcrowded experience then you’ll love it as the exhibits are very good, but I wouldn’t pay €70 again for such a poor experience.

I was very impressed. Never thought I'd be traipsing around a submarine in my life. It was very interesting and the audio guide was very informative although a bit long. The 3 screens with the 3 stories of 3 people's lives just before, on and during the Titanic almost had me in tears - very well done! I sadly missed the timeline movie of the actual sinking but the brief part I saw looked amazing. As for the Aquarium, absolutely beautiful 😍 Cannot recommend this venue enough.

The aquaria we very nicely presented. The octopus didn't look too happy. Lots of information about the oceans and displays that kids can interact with. The submersibles were great, as was the brief historyof diving kit

Worth it just for the submarine - fascinating. The Titanic thing wasn’t for me, and the aquarium was nice enough, but we all agreed (2 adults, 2 late teens) that we would have been happy with just the sub. Price includes the audio guide (defo use it - it’s very interesting) which is nice, plus you can press buttons / twist levers/sit in the mess/climb into a bed rather than it all being screened off which isn’t always the case. A “must visit” if you are in the area.

Beautiful park with a sensory garden and a botanical garden/green house (which is currently under restauration and only partly open, sadly). We almost missed the entrance because it's just off a normal steet. It is a beautiful place to go for a walk, have a picnic or look at the birds. There's a lot of history and they have signs in English and french. I would definitely recommend visiting here if you're in Cherbourg. No entrance fee.

Lovely gardens in Cherbourge. Quiet peaceful walk and enjoy the gardens. My daughter got engaged here so it's a special place for us now. We visited on a Sunday.... So the town was all closed up. Not much to do in the little down. All excursions seem to be out to war memorials.

Nice garden with exotic plant greenhouse

Amazing park! Highly recommend to walk through it if you are in the area and want to have a little city-nature walk

Lovely French park. Childrens playground. Toilets.

cute lil park with places to play for kids. there’s also a bathroom and a greenhouse

Hidden away in the middle of the old town just a short walk from the market. Peaceful and shielded from the traffic.Benches to sit, relax and enjoy the birdsong.

Spectacular walking route along gently sloping grassy hills or steep falesie over a blue-green sea that seems to change hue at every turn of the path. Enchanting walk !

One of the most beautiful views of the North Atlantic Ocean with the islands of Jersey and Guernsey visible on a clear day. Spectacular views of the cliffs and a short walk down them will take you to some caves and a beach below. One of Normandy's secrets. There is also a little restaurant on one of the cliffs where you can grab a scenic lunch. Don't forget to switch the data off on your phone as it automatically switches to English networks and international roaming. Yes, you're that close to England! Enjoy.

It has a good view, full of nature. You get to see some British Islands with the sea is calmer. Very refreshing

Beautiful !

One of the most beautiful walks in Cotentin : the landscape is magnificent anf the lights and colors are often mesmerizing.

Gorgeous

Wonderful place

Isle of Wight Pearl is interesting to visit, especially to see the history and learn more about how pearls are cultivated – that part is really nice and worth a look. The displays are well presented and it’s a unique experience. However, the atmosphere did feel a bit cold when we visited. Some of the staff came across as abrupt and a little stuck up, and it took quite a while to get help or be served, which did let the experience down. Overall, it’s worth a visit if you’re interested in pearls and their history, but the customer service could definitely be warmer and more welcoming.

Lovely location lovely view lots staff lovely coffee shop BUT the maturing the jewellery when asked a question was rude saying she was concentrating and made no effort to talk to us. So she made a bad example in all the staff. We walked out

Having visited this place on many occasions, I decided to take my eldest daughter there. She really enjoyed it and it is a great experience to see all the various pearls and jewellery. Along with the history behind the Pearl's. They is also a great views along with a lovely cafe area. Selling fresh sandwiches, hot food, great selection of fresh cakes, cream teas etc. A great enjoyable experience.

Looks nice on the outside but inside is looking a bit dated. Could do with a repaint and tidy up in areas. Staff were attentive and pleasant though and chips from the café were chunky and tasty

Visited here on more than one occasion, the shop is great for a browse, if your looking for a different type of gift, all price ranges. The cafe has great food and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely worth a visit.

Staff are very experienced and knowledgeable the venue is perfectly placed on a cliff top for a pot of tea or latte with the sea breeze blowing gently on the green. Clean and tidy venue :)

My husband & I visited celebrating our Pearl Wedding Anniversary...30 years. We took a selfie in the entrance by the enormous clam and huge Pearl. The cafe was a total hit...views stunning. Good selection of food The cream tea was delicious. Sharon in the cafe gave above and beyond .A really lovely experience.

We had a brilliant family day out at Tapnell Farm on the Isle of Wight! As two adults and two children, we found there was so much to keep everyone happy. The kids loved meeting the animals, racing around the adventure play areas, and splashing about at the fantastic Aqua Park – definitely a highlight of the day! We also enjoyed a lovely meal at The Cow restaurant, which had delicious food and a really friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Everything was clean, well organised, and set in such a beautiful location. A perfect mix of fun, food, and fresh air – we can’t wait to come back!

A great day out for kids of all ages. we only spent the afternoon here and with only one 5 year old that was fine. But with more kids or older ones I think you could easily spend the whole day here.

Loved it here. So much to do for the kids. Football golf was a huge success with my footie crazy boys. The animal park was great, we especially loved feeding the wallabies.

Paid £68 for a family of 4 members, didn’t find the value for that money, we came under the impression that children are allowed to play with animals but it’s based on their show time and that too very limited. We were expecting more animals in this price because the play area is not the thing we came here for, it’s an over rated place maybe it is good for the people that stay here because i think a zoo would be lower in cost and with more animals in it as well.

We went off peak One of my party was a wheelchair user, all the staff was super helpful, as we went in off peak season we didn't have to queue for anything, a very child friendly place, And that is so much to keep them entertained for hours we ate at the restaurant the cow. The food is amazing.

A fantastic place for a day out for a family with children of all ages, whatever the weather. With helpful friendly staff, reasonable prices to eat and drink or space to bring your own food but crucially plenty of space it is hard to fault as a children’s farm.

What a brilliant place. We started the day with the toddler group, Thursday 10am. Leonie was super friendly and let our girls play, sing, paint and make music. The farm itself is in excellent surroundings, the animals all look so well cared for. We enjoyed the sandpit, trampolines, play area, bouncy pillow and all the animals. My nearly 2 year old adored brushing the guinea pigs. Thanks for a super day! Highly recommend!

The Needles Landmark Attraction is absolutely worth visiting – a true highlight of the Isle of Wight! The views are breathtaking, and the chairlift ride is an unforgettable experience, offering stunning sights of the cliffs, sea, and the famous Needles. It’s something everyone should try at least once. There are a couple of small areas that could be improved. The food section could offer a bit more variety and quality, and clearer signage for the beach path (especially placed above the queue area) would make things easier for visitors. That said, the chairlifts themselves were excellent – smooth, safe, and such a unique way to take in the scenery. Overall, a fantastic attraction that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the Isle of Wight. Don’t miss it!

The Needles Landmark Attraction is an amazing place to visit with stunning views and plenty to enjoy for all ages. The cable car ride down to the beach is absolutely breathtaking, offering panoramic views of the cliffs, sea, and the iconic Needles rocks. The attractions and shops are fun and family-friendly, and the area is well organized with great facilities. The mix of natural beauty and adventure makes it a perfect day out. A must-see experience when visiting the Isle of Wight — unforgettable and worth every moment!

Lovely place to visit on the Ilse of Wight. It was a very windy day on our visit to the Needles. We took a trip on the cable car that takes you down to the foreshore,what an experience it was as your lowered over the cliff edge. There is plenty of things to do to keep the kids occupied and the area is disabled friendly. There is a lovely coffee shop selling tea and coffee,soft drinks and cakes ect. A couple of gift shop also. Toilets on site are clean. Large car park. £6.00 per vehicle, £4.00 if a member of the National trust. Also there is a beautiful glass shop.

We went in a bank holiday. Narrow roads leading to the site along with many coaches and cars. We paid £6 for the car park and disabled were allowed to park at the bottom on the field but it was still a mobility navigation issue getting down to the main road. It was very busy. We walked through there gates and had an ice cream with flake. There were many tables with seating but these were mainly full with people eating the various foods (curry was in the air) and picnics. As we walked through the site along- the chair lifts were on the right and the queue to get in was vast. We stood on the platform at the end overlooking the needles . We don’t use the telescope but the pictures bought it closer. For us it was hot and crowded and we stayed about 1.5hrs. Makes the parking expensive . Didn’t know about the boat trip.

Lots of fun for the whole family. Recommend a ride on the chair lift to Alum Bay where you will find the beautiful coloured sands. There are steps down to the beach. You can also get a boat to The Needles to see them from the sea. There are cafes, shops, crazy golf and rides to go on.

This view is simply unforgettable and so relaxing! The vast blue sky, the sea, and the dramatic green cliffs make for pure natural beauty. The best part was the unexpected rainbow over the water—it was truly amazing! Highly recommend a visit here for the stunning views.

You have to visit The Needles when you come to Isle of Wight! We loved our The Needles visit! We paid £10 each for return tickets for the chairlift option to get down to the small Needles beach! Totally worth it saves us from climbing up and down the steep staircase! And then when we got to the bottom of the beach, we paid another extra £9 each for a 20mins boat ride which is also another must do, the boat guide was excellent and very knowledgeable on the whole of the needles landmark!

Love a National Trust, and if you are doing Tennyson Down it is definitely worth stopping by the Old Fort. I really liked how they have restored parts of the site and brought it to life. It is not very big so it does not take long to go around, but it is nice to wander through and the views of the Needles are amazing and were the real highlight. They also have a tea room, which to be honest was not that great, a bit of a shame given how lovely some other National Trust tea rooms are. It could have been something really charming like the one at the lighthouse in Dorset. The walk to the fort was another highlight and is so beautiful with lots of wildlife. A really stunning area.

an incredible couple of hours spent here. We got a return on the cable car, £10 per adult. Really good price. Had beautiful views of the ocean coming down, we then went straight onto the boat ride, again incredibly priced. 20 mins out to sea and a view of the needles, beautiful sights. We were lucky enough to have stunning weather. Cable car back up to the top after a lovely walk along the beach and then made our sand jars and played crazy golf. Hasn't changed since I came when I was little.

Beautiful autumn day for a hike and this didn't disappoint. Stunning views of the Needles. Well worth the trek. You can also drive but why would you if you can manage the coastal path then do. It's beautiful.

It took about 30 min with kids to wander along to here from the car park (tell them you’re an NT member for £2 off). Did it on a hot and sunny day but lovely views on the way and from the battery. Interesting displays and the tunnel down is cool, if not pretty narrow! Place to get a coffee and plenty of places to sit and eat a picnic. Worth a visit especially if an NT member.

Great history about the Fort listed. I recommend a visit if you go. Not too expensive to get in but it is a national trust place so it's a must do if you have a membership. Very windy when I went so be prepared when walking along the cliff top. There is an enclosed walk way to a view advantage point inside the cliff, at some points this is narrow so I wouldn't recommend if you are claustrophobic

A bit of a walk from the 'Needles Attraction' but it's on a fairly level road. There's not much at the Old Battery but it's worth a look if you're a NT member. Probably not worth the entrance if not. If you pick a decent day, the views are spectacular though.

Very interesting area to visit, you can walk but I recommend taking the open top bus to get there - great views. There is a cafe and shop.
