Operation Normandy - Sun 19th April - Day 8

Today we are moving 180km on to our next destination, a place that we had briefly stopped at overnight on our last French adventure in July 2014 ( 👀 Read the blog here). 2 1/2hrs later we arrived at Montreal-sur-Mer (Website).


The upper town is surrounded by ramparts dating back to the the 13th century which you are able to walk all the way around and see some fabulous panoramic views.

The aire is located just in front of the ramparts and is very handy for the town centre, just 5 mins walk away. The town offers many bars and eateries, small supermarket and the usual bakers, butchers, chocolatier etc.

The aire is free and has the usual “borne”motorhome service point costing 2€. There is also a toilet which is free to use. The location offers no views other than the back of a building, a boules clubhouse and area and looks towards houses, as this is basically a car park with motorhome parking.


Parked up, we then set off to walk around the ramparts, something we had missed when we first visited last year. The views are amazing. All this walking and fresh air had made us hungry. We had already picked our place in advance. A bar/restaurant we had eaten at last time we had visited. But sadly that had now closed since, so we wandered around the large square browsing the other eating places and decided on Le Caveau (Website), a very busy place, but we managed to grab the last table for two outside. Service, food and drink was excellent. A great place to sit and watch the world go by.
