When I requested information about GF in Normandy a couple of months ago, I 
 only received two replies.  One person suggested that I contact the  
A.F.D.I.A.G. (The French Celiac Society).  Their phone number is +33 1 56  08 08 
22, Fax:  +33 1 56 08 08 42.  They are at 2 Rue de Vouille,  75015 Paris, 
France.  Unfortunately I had done that previously and they  have no list of GF 
restaurants/accommodations in Normandy.  Another person  said that they had 
managed to find something to eat in a local cafe. We  also found restaurant 
staffs to be helpful.  We handed over our French GF  restaurant card, 
waited for suggestions, and found a number of interesting  dishes.  The only time 
we had trouble was going out for dinner on a Sunday  evening.  We were 
staying in Vire and all of the regular restaurants had  closed by 6.  Evidently 
they eat their main meal during the day on  Sundays.  All we could find were 
bars and pizza shops, so my son settled  for a salad at the pizza place.
 
LECLERC supermarket in Vire has a good selection of prepackaged GF  
products, such as cookies, baguettes, pasta.  We rented a cottage near Vire  for a 
week and cooked several dinners there.  Since there were 6 of us, it  was 
much more economical and we definitely knew what we were eating.  We  saw 
LECLERC supermarkets in other towns, but since we didn't stop in any of  them, I 
can't confirm their GF selections.  By the way if you're planning a  trip 
to Normandy, we found Vire to be a good central location with beautiful  
countryside and the beaches, Bayeaux, and Mont St. Michel are all within about  
an hour's drive.
 
Bon yoyage!
