A nice spot to stop, a few lovely cafes

This is a survivor from World War 2: an historic artefact still in daily use.

Here, in La Cambe, is the largest German military cemetery in Normandy. What always amazes me is that German military cemeteries abroad are better maintained than those in Germany.

Very large German military cemetery.

On June 15, 1944, the P-47 of 2nd Lieutenant Chester G. ULRICH crashed a few meters from this memorial, while returning from a mission to La-Haye-du-Puits.

La Cambe is the largest German military cemetery in Normandy and was designed by architect Robert Tischler. One of his design principles is a narrow entrance, allowing only one person to enter the cemetery at a time. Tischler's goal was to bring people peace and quiet when entering the monument. Communal graves and the almost six-metre-high burial mound form the center of the site. Instead of individual crosses as grave markers, there are groups of symbolic crosses without names. Currently, 21,245 German soldiers have found their resting place in La Cambe. The burial mound contains the remains of 207 unknown and 89 known dead

This large and beautiful Norman church, dedicated to Saint-Georges, dates from several eras. The choir was restored in the 14th century. The bell tower dates from the 16 centuries. The nave, the oldest part of the church, dates from the 13th century. The town of Isigny-sur-Mer having been heavily affected by the bombings of 1944, the Saint-Georges church was a collateral victim. After the war, it was completely restored.
