Must-See Sites between Calais and Bayeux

[seabreezer]

Will be driving and would like to at least stop for lunch in a nice port town along the way...recommendations?

For lunch I could recommend Les Tourelles in Le Crotoy or Hotel Atlantique in Wimeraux. Reservations recommended for both places.

 

There is quite a lot to see, much of it to do with the two World Wars. The area of the Somme is particularly nice, places like St Valery sur Somme and Le Crotoy. Between the two towns in a small steam train which was used to transport goods during the first world war. You can take a ride on it. Le Touquet is also very pretty, it is an upmarket seaside resort frequented by Parisiens.

 

Once you get into Normandy I can recommend Honfleur, Deauville and Trouville. However, a lot depends upon your interests.

 

I imagine that you are going to do the WWII museums and sites when you get to Bayeux.

 

I suggest you read the local Tourist Information websites and the relevant forums on Tripadvisor as there is lots of information there.
