No Experience Required

You step from the coach onto wind-gnawed sand and the sea seems to hurry past its own history — waves daring you to measure the scale of what happened here. Cliffs rise in chalk and turf; concrete bunkers sit like weathered teeth in the grass. On a four-hour private loop from Formigny-la-Bataille you move between memorial geometry and the rawness of open coast.
