Hi all,
Just got back from France today. Just though a bit of info might be of use to those heading out to Normandy next week for the celebrations (or not).
Basically if you are hoping to go on spec without booking sites or even aires you might find it impossible to find room to stay overnight in the Normandy area.
On the 7th June, there is to be a 300+ military vehicle convoy through Bayeux to mention just one function. As we were heading back up the Motorway yesterday literally loads of Cars, Vans etc towing trailers with ex military Jeeps/trucks et al. Even 2 Car transporters went past full of Jeeps! Then there were tha hardy type driving their Jeeps, deuce and Halfs etc all the way! Several campsites along the Normandy coast aalready had 're-enactmant' groups ensconsed with flags flying etc etc.
We spent Fri night in Honfleur and there must have been 200+ vans in the aire
Good news is that Diesel in supermarkets is 0.94 Euro Ltr
We met CurleyBoy at Honfleur, they were on their way south.
Should be a good bash though if you can get to see it. Enjoy
