Any G503ers live in Normandy?

Post by twinflyer17 » Tue Oct 10, 2017 6:20 am

Howdy all,

My wife and I are leaving for France on 11/02 and will be in Normandy from 11/03-11/07. We're staying in Bayeux, France, but have plans to see much of the countryside and WWII specific sites while we're there. My question - does anyone on here live in Normandy and have an MB or GPW?? Of course I'd love to take a ride in a WWII jeep while in Normandy, but even just to meet someone there and see their jeep would be awesome, too! Let me know :D

If you don't mind spending some cash I can't recommend Hubert at https://www.normandyjeeptours.com/ enough. We did a four hour tour with him a few weeks ago and it was easily the highlight of the trip. It was amazing to bounce around the old tracks in his MB and see sights that the usual tours simply can't get to and that I would never have known how to find on my own.
