I am Noémie and I share with a very playful approach Yoga lessons (postures, concentration games, relaxation ...) with kids from 3 to 10 years old: in group or private lessons. I also pass on family Yoga for an accomplice break: parents / children and parents / babies (or grandparents, siblings, aunties, etc.). Also on sunny days outdoors (park and beach).

Omaha Beach

This historic beach was the primary point of landing on June 6, 1944, for the entry of American forces into World War II and saw some of the most intense fighting in the entire war.

Parc Zoologique Cerza

Reviewed By vishiwashi

Cerza is a hidden gem that doesn't seem to be very well known even in France. We loved it so much, we went there this year again after having spent a week in July 2017. We stayed in the lodges both time - they are very comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen plus heating AND air conditioning. You can choose to relax in the lodges and then saunter over to the main Park area whenever you want during opening hours. This is also a great base to explore Normandy - we went as far as Michel St. Mont one day. There are wallabies, deer and different birds even around the lodges, plus a decent play area so my daughter was never bored even in the lodges. I don't think we switched the TV on even once. BIG PLUS this time - the lodges have great WiFi connection this year. My wife was able to work from there on a couple of days.

Juno Beach

Reviewed By DiggoryLondon

Visited this beach in recognition of the 75th anniversary. To stand on the beach and then visit the gun emplacement brings home just how exposed the Canadian troops were. 45,000 Canadians lost their lives during the war 359 on D Day - thank you.
