Drove and drove and drove and drove and got lunch in Amiens or somewhere and drove and drove and drove and got to Port-en-Bessin-Huppain to pick up some Omaha Beach gravel and drove and stopped in Bayeux, which is cute and medieval. Featuring a great big cathedral (which was nice) and the Bayeux Tapestry (which we didn't see), and a store selling local cider and Calvados (which we purchased).
We found a lovely "chambre d'hote" with a chambre featuring Audrey Hepburn,
in the guesthouse La Castel
with a great view of the Cathedral
at which point we went to dinner and had a terrible experience. Though the food was reasonably good, the two hours it took for us to get a starter and a main eventually became laughable, and a topic of conversation among all the other English-speakers in the restaurant (the dearth of whom was probably a bad sign from the start). Though lukewarm frites are unforgivable, regardless.
