In April 2015 as our eldest son was in his last year of primary school he started to get really interested in history and especially World War 2.
I have to admit I have also always been interested in World War 2 but have never had the chance to visit any of the monuments and battlegrounds in France. As a bit of a treat for him (and me) we decided to head of to Normandy for our Easter holiday. We love camping in France and so i found a brilliant campsite not far from the coast with Eurocamp called La Cote de Nacre. I picked La Cote de Nacre mainly due to it's close proximity to all of the major sights. Many of the museums, cemetery's and gun emplacements were all within easy travelling distance with many of the beaches being a mere stones throw away. The campsite itself has a great playground area which was perfect for the little ones and they all loved the swimming pool. We travelled on the Dover to Calais ferry and then drove down the coast. Although it's slightly longer than our usually trip from Plymouth to Roscoff the ferry worked out over £200 cheaper than the alternatives. We had a fantastic stay at La Cote de Nacre and saw some wonderful awe inspiring things whilst staying there. We'll shortly be putting up some more photos of the places we saw whilst staying with Eurocamp at La Cote de Nacre.
