  • Pointe du Hoc, Cricqueville-en-Bessin, France
    In World War II, Pointe du Hoc was the location of a series of German bunkers and machine gun posts. Prior to the invasion of Normandy, the German army fortified the area with concrete casemates and gun pits. On D-Day, the United States Army Provisional Ranger Group attacked and captured Pointe du Hoc after scaling the cliffs. United States generals including Dwight D. Eisenhower had determined that the place housed artillery that could slow down nearby beach attacks. (Wikipedia)
    60 minutes
  • Omaha Beach, Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, France
    Omaha Beach was one of five beach landing sectors designated for the amphibious assault component of Operation Overlord during the Second World War. On June 6, 1944, the Allies invaded German-occupied France with the Normandy landings. "Omaha" refers to an 8-kilometer (5 mi) section of the coast of Normandy, France, facing the English Channel, from east of Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes to west of Vierville-sur-Mer on the right bank of the Douve River estuary. Landings here were necessary to link the British landings to the east at Gold with the American landing to the west at Utah, thus providing a continuous lodgement on the Normandy coast of the Bay of the Seine. Taking Omaha was to be the responsibility of United States Army troops, with sea transport, mine sweeping, and a naval bombardment force provided predominantly by the United States Navy and Coast Guard, with contributions from the British, Canadian and Free French navies.

    30 minutes
  • Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer, Colleville-sur-Mer, France
    The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial is a World War II cemetery and memorial that honors American troops who died in Europe during World War II. A memorial in the cemetery includes maps and details of the Normandy landings and military operations that followed. At the memorial's center is Spirit of American Youth Rising from the Waves, a bronze statue. The cemetery also includes two flag poles where, at different times, people gather to watch the American flags being lowered and folded. The cemetery, which was dedicated in 1956, is the most visited cemetery of those maintained by the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC), with one million visitors a year. In 2007, the ABMC opened a visitor center at the cemetery, relating the global significance and meaning of Operation Overlord. (Wikipedia)

    This museum in Caen is amazing. For the D-Day guided tour, you meet at the museum and a driver drives you and your tour guide to the Normandie Beaches. Absolutely recommend this experience. Our tour guide was Louis and he was excellent!

    En général les musées m ennuis pour être poli et faire plaisir à ma femme sur mon langage En effet je suis resté près de 3 heures c est passionnant tout sur la guerre mondiale de 1924 en passant par la guerre froide Un bon début pour visiter les plages de Normandie avec les très nombreux musées que j ai éviter A faire absolument
