Normandy is in the top 10 of the most beautiful regions in the world to discover according to the best of 2019 from the Lonely Planet travel guide!

We believe we have seen everything from Normandy, but very often we overlooked the Bessin country in the Calvados department , discreet and yet with a quality of life like no other. In the central position of the Normandy region while being by the sea: Port-en-Bessin , a small artisanal fishing port, is ideally located   

• 10km from Bayeux, Omaha Beach (Colleville sur mer) and Arromanches
  
• at the heart of the landing beaches 
• 3 hrs from Paris (or 2h15 by train + 10mn taxi).
