Café-musée in Bénouville, a place of pilgrimage for veterans and history buffs organising an event linked to D-Day.
Close to the Bénouville bridge, this café-museum is a must-see for D-Day events. A place of pilgrimage for veterans and history buffs alike, this is the first house liberated in France by the British 6th Airborne Division on the night of June 5-6, 1944. More than a café, Madame Gondrée’s Pegasus Bridge is a symbol of freedom. Across the street, you’ll see a Bofors gun of Swedish origin, used by British artillery regiments.

Lieu chargé d'histoire pour le reste....accueil sommaire et pas de toilettes et payable en espèce uniquement....C'est donc la moyenne des 5 étoiles de l'histoire et ...du reste. A décharge, le bâtiment est petit d'origine et le trottoir en pente...j'y suis allé une fois (boissons) et il n'y aura pas de 2ème...

Cafe Gondree is a small French cafe in Benouville next to Benouville Bridge. (Pegasus Bridge). The cafe is forever etched in British Airbourne history, Pegasus bridge, and the first House in France liberated on D-Day. A must visit for the history buff or D-Day tourist when visiting Pegasus Bridge .The museum which houses the original bridge and other areas of interest are nearby. There is ample parking opposite the museum which is but a short walk to the bridge and Cafe Gondree

We were quite taken with this little place.
Just one small criticism..... the public toilet facilities were out of order....... and it being quite an essential need for any human being..... when we asked politely if we could use the toilet at the cafè, the lady wasn't very forthcoming unless we bought a drink. We were going to sit and have a drink regardless, but it was a shame the assumption was made on her part. I know that many people use the cafe and make this request probably often, but we found she came across a bit rude.
We did have hot chocolate, which wasn't the best...... but we were polite and did drink it. Which were 2 euros 50 cents each, so we spent more than a penny!
