Nestled by the sea on the Normandy coast, the Best Western Hotel de la plage Normandie, Asnelles, France, is a three-star hotel in a peaceful, green setting with direct access to the coastal hiking trails, just a few minutes by car from Bayeux and steps from the sand.
The location makes an ideal base for exploring Normandy's history and landscapes, with comfortable rooms in a range of categories and easy access by way of the Caen and Bayeux stations and the Caen-Carpiquet airport. Secure parking is provided on site, with taxi and regional bus services close.
Asnelles sits on Gold Beach, one of the five D-Day landing beaches of June 1944, with the remains of the Mulberry harbour at Arromanches in view, the Bayeux Tapestry and its cathedral minutes inland, and the American cemetery and Omaha Beach within an easy drive. The tide, the dunes, and the history of 1944 are all just outside.
