As a history major in college I took a class trip over spring break and one of the stops was Bayeux. We had to eat at a gas station on the road in from Paris because apparently the bus had to stop according to EU laws they can't drive long distances without rest breaks for the driver. We got in late and most restaurants were actually closing for the night so we walked around the town which was unusually warm for mid-March, talked to an absolutely incredible older gentleman who said he was originally from the town and was sent away during occupation and had recently moved back and said he tried to personally thank any American he met for saving France, even all those years later. The hotel staff had Bayeux cider cold for us when we got back in for the night before bed, had wonderful breads, croissants and cheese for breakfast. The Camembert was absolutely creamier than anything I've ever had in the U.S. Lunch was in Ste. Mere Eglise as part of our tour, lunch did have specific hours but we were all very surprised to see mostly American menus. A bit disappointing for sure but understandable given the amount of tourists they must get. I hope I can get back, beautiful countryside, shoreline, and people.

Can't agree more with all you said.
Little tips from a french norman
From the weakest to the strongest norman drinks : Apple juice - Cider - Pommeau - Calvados.
In case you want a snack, you'll easily find what we call a "crêperie" where they serve our famous "crepes". Have a try, especially those with Caramel d'Isigny (from Normandy).

Salt-marsh lambs from Mt-St-Michel Bay are known in all the best restaurants around the world. You must try it when you come here (not cheap).
