We proceeded on in the direction of Caen, stopping along the coast at Houlgate and then at Dives sur Mer. The former has a great view of the coast, all the way from Le Havre to Cabourg. And the latter was the place where William the Conqueror built his ships and massed his forces in 1066. And more.

| The beaches at Houlgate and on toward Cabourg |
 |
| Other way, to Le Havre |
 |
| And the great port |
 |
But, more specifically, the beaches...these are Juno and Sword Beaches from
D-Day, up toward the top |
 |
| The viewing point, atop a hill on the coast, has a great table d'orientation |
 |
| Thus |
 |
| Including far off places beyond the horizon |
 |
A sailing class out on the water; at this point we were wondering where the gun
emplacements were, what with such a commanding view... |
 |
And then we realized we were standing on one...the table d'orientation a great
instance of up-cycling |
 |
| Driving on through the little beach community of Houlgate |
 |
| Right on the beach |
 |
| Some real beauties, too |
