Re: 197 Sqn, D-Day - target reference?

I've been trying to pin down where 'Chateau le Parc' actually is. Google doesn't bring anything up of that name, but I've got three candidates so far:

1. Chateau de Bellefontaine, just under a kilometre SE from the centre of Bayeux on the D613, now a hotel. This looks the most promising so far.

2. Chateau d'Audrieu, about 5 miles SE of Bayeux, and the scene of a massacre of Canadian POWs on June 8th 1944. Also now a hotel.

3. Chateau de Martragny, about 3 miles SE of Bayeux on the E46, now a campsite.

I've e-mailed the Bayeux Museum of the Battle of Normandy to see if they can help.

Regards

Simon
