The first stop, as a suggestion, could be the small harbour of Le Hâble. After that, it's a climb, for three kilometers inland. Take the D 45, straight on. Three kilometers further you enter Gréville-Hague. In the center of the village, at the crossroad, there sits a statue of the painter Jean-François Millet (4 October, 1814 – 20 January, 1875). Millet, one of the founders of the School of Barbizon. He became best known for his peasant paintings, and belongs to the category; naturalists and realists under the impressionist. He worked a while in and around Gréville-Hague, where he the local church painted, which now hangs at the Musee d'Orsay in Paris.

I recommend you visit the bakery behind the back of the statue of Millet. Treat yourself on a apple-pie and eat this while you walk around the old graveyard of the church.

Two objects remembers the Second World war. One of these two can be found at the wall of the church. This plaque remembers the fallen civilians from a bombardment which was aimed for Auderville. Striking are the 10 names, of the 16, bear the name Leneveu and four the name Lefranc.

An other plaque can be found at the north on the wall of the bakery shop. This plaque was placed for the American liberator Dominick Padula, a Sergeant from H Company, 47th Regiment, 9th Infantry Division. During a German mortar attack, Padula, a boy from Rhode Island, was killed at Gréville-Hague.

We continue on the coastal road. After four kilometers you are entering Landemer. As soon as you decent into this village, you see in the bent of the road Hotel Landemer. Turn into the parking lot (which is small). From this place you can already see them, the casemates which are tumbled from the shoreline, onto the beach, like dead skulls.

To visit the casemates, you have to climb some rocks, and along the former broken up anti-tank wall, you first reach a Tobruk, and next the two H 667 casemates. These casemates once had 5cm KwK guns into their bellies.

We near the end of a very long day. Drive towards Cherbourg to ride back to the point of start, at the vicinity of Ste.Mère-Eglise. If you have time left, and are up to it, you can make a stop at the harbor of Cherbourg. Follow the signs 'La Cité de la Mer'. This is a theme aquarium-museum. This can also be recommended for a rainy day. 'La Cité de la Mer' can be found in the former Trans-Atlantic departure halls for passenger ships that left from here to the far corners of the world.

You visit starts with a tour in the nucleair submarine Le Redoutable. Then into the 'La Cité de la Mer' for the history on the oceans. Inside is also the tallest (deepest?) aquarium of Europe to be found, the Abyssal Aquarium, which stands 11 meters tall..

From 'La Cité de la Mer' you have a great view into the harbour. 'La Cité de la Mer' is daily open. During the winter months from 10.00 hours till 18.00 hours. In July and August from 09.30 hours till 19.00 hours. In the low season adults pay 15.50 € and in the hogh season 18 €. Beside the old harbor facilities, there are also some wartime concrete bunkers to be found.
