To make a day of it

Château de Bernaville, in Picauville in the Manche department, stands on grounds tied directly to the Battle of Normandy: it served as a German Army headquarters on D-Day, within the American paratroopers' drop zone near Utah Beach. The estate, covering about fifty acres, includes a carriage house and a glass conservatory building alongside the château itself.
