    Staying in the quiet depths of the Normandy Countryside (see map), you will be barely 2 miles from where one of the most important battles in the European campaign took took place. Because of Operation 'Cobra' General Patton made the breakout and started a speedy push eastwards. The Germans were becoming surrounded and found themselves in a 'pocket' with the Allies on virtually all sides

    In 4 Days, in an area roughly 7km by 11km, 10,000 German soldiers perished. This was the final Battle of Normandy - the Battle of the Falaise Pocket/Gap. A Battle that, logically, should have never taken place in this region.
    Come and learn why it took place and how the geography helped dictate the destruction of the German 7th Army

      Mont Saint Michel

     

    Click to enlarge

      Although Mt Saint Michel is not part of this
    5 night/6-day tour itinerary
      it may be included, by prior arrangement.

      It will replace the Giverny trip

      It is too far to go, sensibly tour the Mt and return in a day.
      So we stay overnight.

      There is, therefore, a night stop-over supplement.

     

    Why not, have the full itinerary plus Mt St Michel
      by adding an extra day.
