Military Shops in DDay/Arras areas ?
Afternoon Guys, hope everyone is well.
I have some friends going over to Arras then back up to Bayeaux to check out the DDay beaches and they were asking me if I knew of anywhere they could buy relics. Not been there myself so does anyone know of any shops or mueseums in either areas which sell stuff ? Your help appreciated...
All the best

They could try St Mere Eglise the other side from Bayeux in the American sector it has a few shops selling stuff but beware of prices.Better bet and only a couple of miles down the road from Bayeux is Arromanches. There's a good shop, loads packed in it. Its back from the sea in the road leading from the car park. The shops like a museum.
Hope they have a good trip.

Steve, Do they allow the use of a metal detector on the beaches? I'm starting to plan a trip there and if I can use my metal detector I'd love to bring it and try my luck. John

My friends returned last week from the France visit. They found the Arromanches shop which they said was great with loads of stuff for sale so its a good bet for anyone in the DDay areas.
If you are going down towards the Western Front battle areas they came across a couple of kids selling stuff from a box at the Thiepval memorial, fuses, buttons, bullets etc. I suppose they must have got them from the woods, dangerous if they don`t know what they are handling but I guess we`d be doing the same if we lived there ( or keeping it ourselves more likely )
Anyway, thanks for the shop advice, planning my next "Forest walk" for next Feb/March , will keep in touch.
All the best
FW
