  1. What a great Cafe.

    I will make sure to visit and give 5 stars.

  2. It was the American army that landed on Omaha beach on D-Day not the British (inconvenient truth).

  4. I mean I love bashing on the British as much as anyone, but refusing service on someone is not cool. The people of this Creperie should know that sooner or later, they may be repaid in kind during one of their travels… Besides they are French. Who doesn’t love bashing on the French?

  5. Any American/UK people here that can explain to me the significance of visiting that place?

    F.e. me being German: Auschwitz hit hard.

    But how is the Normandy/the beaches for you guys?

  6. Man, the age of the internet. A small creperie in the butt of nowhere making international news

  9. That article is appallingly written and D-Day was 80 years ago, not 60.

  11. I mean, tens of thousands of Englishmen died fighting for a free France, during both wars. Maybe not exactly in Omaha, but in the surrounding countryside, in the air and off the coast, plenty lost their lives.

    I understand that English people on holidays have a pretty terrible reputation when in France and Spain, etc, but seriously, no business should be allowed to refuse a customer based on their nationality, if the complaints are genuine.

  12. Let me guess, they dared to ask for a tea, at French **café** and got booted out, with musical accompaniment of a La Marseillaise playing in the background 🇫🇷 🇫🇷

    Absolute win over the English eh? >!Lol, hell no. Bruv imagine being at that level of pettiness,that you scare off some random dudes from WW2/D-Day military heritage trip cos’ ‘they Barry from England’!<

  13. Standard French procedure.  Hardly seems worth bothering to write an article about it it’s so mundane.  Hum drum, even.

  14. The French have never forgiven the British for saving them from the Germans.

  15. Oh i have been there 2 years ago. The coffee was très bien. Grüsse aus Deutschland

  16. Even without the “freed by allies on D-day” story, this is just plain shitty, to refuse to serve anyone because of who they are or where they come from

  17. What absolute non-story people need to get on with their lives?

  18. and? because something happened there 80 years ago every annoying brit is entitled to service?

  19. Please don’t confuse one a-hole in a crêperie de merde with the rest of us. Most of us are grateful at best, indifferent at worst (it’s French indifference. It’s not personal)…but yes…we also have ignorant and mean spirited idiots.

  20. Not totally accurate….i guess no one checked what actually happened.
