Yes, you buy a Normandy guide book and you decide if you want to see Bayeux tapestry, or D Day beaches, or picturesque Honfleur, or posh Deauville, or stunning cliffs at Etretat, or Benedictine distillery at Fecamp, or my favourite fishy restaurant at Dieppe, or Monet's garden at Giverny, or Rouen old town, or fairy tale Mont St Michel - then you buy a Michelin map and drive there. Easy.
And if you don't like aires then stay on a camp site - there are lots still open in September.
Hi, do you want just beaches, or do you want to see the real Normandy, check out places like Domfront, Bagnoles de la Orne, Lassay Les Chateaux, try Cider/Calvados tasting,will soon be apple collecting time.

A bit of both I suppose....

Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!
We went to Normandy for a couple of days on the way home last year. We stayed in a hotel in Bayeux and we were central for seeing most of the WW2 stuff. It is an area we promised ourselves we will go back to and when we do it will be back near Bayeux. Cant help with campsites but you may find some recommended on here. We have also stayed in a hotel near Mont St Michel and would definately take in that area as well.
i would heartily recommend Chateau de Montragny near Bayeux if they are open at that time of year.
we've just come back from normandy but stayed over the west coast near granville this time.
if you do do Mont st Michael, go extremely early or leave it til 2 or 3 in the afternoon. It gets extremely busy.
Bayeaux tapestry is worth a visit, so are the beaches, the American war cemetry is a fantastic visit (that seemss the wrong word for a place of that nature ......), definatelt try cider tasting and there are usually cheese making farms worth a visit too.

I must admit I thought about talking in Mount St M but then decided against it for some reason, I may have to rethink!
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
