Hôtel Outre-Mer

The comfortable accomodation, attractive and interesting location in Villers sur Mer , and helpful and attentive staff at the hotel ,made my stay a delight !

Our host was such a warm and friendly person. His English was pretty good and he was very helpful with sight seeing tips and providing maps with places to visit. We were there for the 80th anniversary of D Day. Saw most of the sights but not all. Five days isn’t enough time. Location is a small village, Villers-ser-Met, with some decent shopping, multiple restaurants and multiple bakeries. We had an Ocean view across the street but not from our room. Rooms were tight but very clean and comfortable. We weren’t planning to spend much time in our room. The dining room had a French breakfast available for about 17 Euros each. All item’s provided were locally sourced. There was a bar if you wanted to buy a drink like beer or a spirit. This building was built in the late 1800’s so it is very European. The village did not suffer any damage in World War II. People were pretty friendly and most but not all spoke passable English. It was a fairly long drive to D Day memorial sites, from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours but well worth the effort. Towns were jammed with military vehicles and soldier actors. Seemed strange to see 82nd and 101st Airborne soldiers all speaking French. But it was worth the trip. We have been to France 3 times. This was our first visit to Normandy and we just loved it.

We really enjoyed our stay. The management was great, the location was awesome. We would stay in a heartbeat if we return to that area.
