No rockets, no firecrackers, but a warm welcome in the house La Batterie with P., who even invited us on New Year's Eve to have dessert from the New Year's Eve menu with his friends. We felt very welcome. The house, within walking distance of the former German battery Longues sur Mer, has everything we needed for the four of us adults. The house is an ideal starting point for visiting the landing beaches, the museums and Bayeux. P., we'll be back!
