The Omaha campsite is waiting for an improvement in the season

The Omaha Beach campsite, run by Mr. and Mrs. Chitel in Vierville, could accommodate six hundred people in delimited pitches, surrounded by greenery and close to the beach. It offered toilets with hot showers, electrical outlets, self-service and games for children. Jean-Michel Thomine, nicknamed Toto, kept a chip stand there every day.

At the beginning of the season, however, there were fewer entries than the previous year. Some tourists were surprised not to find an oil spill on this portion of the coast. The newspaper wondered about the effect of misleading information on this subject, while attributing a large part of the decline to bad weather. After an unfavorable start to August, the owners hoped for a weather improvement and more vacationers.
