Continuing the family farming tradition, Simon Lemarie has been developing since 2015 a production of ciders and spirits made with the apples of his orchards. The farm is entirely managed in Organic Agriculture and is composed of 4 Hectares of thirty year old trees and 8 Hectares of trees planted since 2015, that is to say a total of 5000 trees! The apples used to make the ciders are all old and local varieties. The flagship product of the range is the Cidricchus Original, a cider with a balance between brut and demi-sec.

Buried for 60 years, this German battery was an integral part of a military zone, used for opening fire on Allied troops across the beaches of Utah and Omaha. The final assault of the 5th and 2nd Battalion of American Rangers on 9 June 1944 lasted 5 long hours. Visitors can explore 3 km of trenches, as well as tunnels, 6 155mm artillery platforms, and other underground constructions now open to the public. Visits take 40 to 60 minutes. You can explore the site on your own, and site maps are available on request. We recommend you bring a torch and wear suitable boots if it's raining. Contact: +44 7429387431

It is as lively as a village centre on market day. You enter via a narrow canal, after leaving the Banc du Grand Vey natural site to your starboard side. Take to your binoculars! A seal colony has taken up residence there. Then turn round and set your binoculars eastwards - the rocky promontory you can see around 2 miles away is Pointe du Hoc. Grandcamp is a stopover where fishing rimes with history and nature. As you enter, you are welcomed by a line of placid seagulls, poised on the jetty. Here, the atmosphere is one of an active yet approachable harbour town.
