Clearly over-priced when compared to the alternatives in the neighbourhood but considering that it’s the only hotel you can reach without even having to take a shuttle, we somehow always end up spending one night there before picking up a rental car to drive to Normandy. Comment - Like

Boarding an A380 from Air France in Paris (AF276) and Tokyo (AF275). No additional hassle despite the large number of passengers. On the contrary, since boarding proceeds in parallel on two decks, it was actually quite fast. Coming next, some photos of the cabin and the cockpit ! :-) Comment - Like
