We hiked 16 kilometers (10 miles), doing our best to avoid the main road. We were hoping to find a trail along the beach and the cliffs that Normandy is known for. Vanessa was determined to avoid the road, even if it meant trekking through fields and crawling under electric barbed wire fences meant for cows. While we reached the cliffs, we never found the cliffside trail and still spent half the hike on the road.
