The wife and I were in Normandy for the 60th anniversary of D-Day, and we are planning to return next year for the 80th.
If anyone has suggestions of where to stay (not too far from the coast), they will be most welcome.
Whilst on the subject of D-Day, have the UK news outlets forgotten about it today?

No .. it's been on all the News programmes I have seen today - 3 in all. Been too busy to watch any other programmes.

I saw it on the French evening news, nothing on the BBC1 evening news.

Several items on local news with the few remaining survivors featured but all very low key.

We pay our respects most years but we have just sold our motorhome. Before our motorhome(s) we stayed in a few hotels close to Arromanches in Bayeux, we could also visit the British cemetery in Bayeux.
Hotel Reine Mathilde is very good in Bayeux and if money is no object, or they have an offer with Groupon.fr The Lion D'Or central Bayeux with parking onsite. We have stayed a few times there and every time due to a good discount with Groupon.fr. Excellent restaurant and a lovely lounge with the walls filled with photos of people that have stayed there.
Another place we have stayed is La Cremaillere in Courseilles sur Mer close to Juno beach and has private parking
