La Marine is a hotel located on the waterfront at Arromanches, home to the remaining bits of the mulberry harbour used by the Allies during the D-Day landings.
The wind had become cold and blustery as the Chic Family hurried to the welcoming hotel restaurant - the fire was roaring and the windows big. We had a superb view of the remnants of the floating harbour that sheltered hundreds of warships at a time. It's quite a sight. The kids were entertained with stories from D-Day (there's a big museum nearby) and tucked into fish and chips, French-style.
I had lamb with Normandy potatoes and then creme brulee. I ate loads of country bread! We all positively rolled back into our cars for the journey home. This was the best restaurant meal of the trip.
And what a view ...
