Day 3
The morning was marked by steady rain, but after lunch, we set out on a cycling trip to Sainte-Mère-Église, just in time to catch the opening of a fascinating WWII Army display. Fortunately, we made it back before the rain returned.
Day 2
We arrived in Cherbourg on time. After a stop to stock up on supplies at the hyper market on the outskirts of Cherbourg we arrived at our camping site at 2pm.
Day 1
We departed Newtownabbey around lunchtime, setting off for Dublin to board the overnight ferry to Cherbourg. The drive through Belfast and onto the motorway was smooth and uneventful.

It's always a good idea to have a basic route planned in advance while staying flexible to make adjustments along the way. We recommend pre-booking your first couple of night stops and then planning the rest of the journey as you go.
Key factors to consider when planning your trip:
- Duration of the trip
- Distance you’re willing to travel
- Budget, including fuel, campsite fees, and food
- Specific destinations or attractions you don’t want to miss.
I've relied on the Aguri Motorhome Sat Nav for years while traveling across Europe, and it has consistently proven to be dependable.
