Setady run down will be in the region of 4 hours, that's not using the peage. good starting point is Bayeaux then the "beaches" are close to you. Read the facts of "D-Day" and you'll be surprised at the truth of the action. John Wayne will curl-up and wither. ...Griff *-)

Cambrai, France
I would recommend Camping Municipal Les Trois Clochers. A nice situation with private gardens on one side. An easy walk into town crossing over the canal. There is a small supermarket at the end of the road.
