This Caen airport looks like a very good place to meet up – has ILS, has a restaurant with some positive comment, has MoGas, has customs. Inexpensive, too, indeed. Too far away for me for a day return, but perfect for a weekend, if the meteo is promising enough.
Agree, Bayeux is nice (Caen is not). And yes, the tapestry is a really interesting piece of culture.
So can’t really do much by way of photos as I was in or above cloud most of the way. Nice trip to Oxford to Caen yesterday and back this morning. That airport has to be the best value I have ever had in Europe. €4.80 landing and overnight stay. Bayeux is a pleasant town to see and visit the Tapestry exhibit.
Other than it being a bit windy for the landing on the way back a nice overnight stop that I have never done before. CAr rental at the airport (but be careful with their opening times as they are only there for the CAT flights).
