Explore the Landing Beaches & WWII Sites (Port-En-Bessin, Colleville-sur-Mer, Pont du Hoc)

Normandy’s past resonates with French and visitors alike and its role as the backdrop for a major turning point in World War II makes it extremely significant historically. Visiting every WWII related site in a single day would be impossible, but it would also miss the point. Reviewing the battles' sequence of events before arriving helps to determine the order and priority in which to visit each place. Places commemorating the D-Day landings can be emotional; finding a balance between the tragedy and the glory is important.
