Emilie's opinion

Grandcamp Maisy is delightful, this little preserved port, its typical market with very attractive prices and its seaside. I particularly enjoy soaking up the moving atmosphere of the landing beaches and strolling through the peaceful American cemetery. My favourite accommodation is the Habana with it's sea view, Hear the waves roar and crash against the rocks, but be careful the sea is turbulent and seaweed often washes up on the seafront!
