    Pointe du Hoc

    Perched atop a dramatic cliff overlooking the sea, Pointe du Hoc was one of the most heroic sites of the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944. It was here that American Rangers scaled the cliffs under enemy fire to neutralize German artillery positions. Today, the site, remaining almost untouched, offers a striking landscape of craters and bunkers, a poignant testament to the fierce fighting. The view of the English Channel and the surrounding cliffs makes it a place that is both moving and magnificent.

    Omaha Beach

    Nicknamed “Bloody Omaha,” this vast golden sand beach was the scene of some of the most intense fighting of the D-Day landings. Walking along this peaceful beach, it's hard to imagine the courage of the thousands of American soldiers who landed here under heavy fire. Monuments and museums pay tribute to their bravery, while the tranquil horizon invites contemplation. An iconic place where history and emotion intertwine with the natural beauty of the Normandy coastline. This will also be an opportunity, if you wish, to have lunch (I know each restaurant I suggest).

    Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer

    Overlooking Omaha Beach, this majestic cemetery holds the graves of nearly 10,000 American soldiers who fell for freedom. The perfect alignments of white crosses and Stars of David create an atmosphere of peace and profound respect. The memorial, chapel, and museum dignifiedly recount the sacrifice of these men. Between the sea and the cliffs, this place of remembrance offers a moment of silence and gratitude in the face of history.

    Batterie Allemande de Longues-Sure-Mer

    Located between Omaha and Gold Beach, the Longues-sur-Mer gun batteries are one of the few remaining intact sections of the Atlantic Wall. The site, a listed historical monument, still houses its impressive original cannons, standing proudly facing the sea. Exploring the bunkers, one can imagine the German defensive power and the stakes of the D-Day landings. A fascinating place where nature and history converge for an immersive and authentic experience.

    Arromanches was the site of a unique technological feat: the construction of the artificial harbor "Mulberry," vital for supplying Allied troops. Even today, the remains of this harbor are visible at low tide, a reminder of the ingenuity and determination of the Allies. The D-Day Landing Museum and the spectacular views from the cliffs recount this logistical achievement that changed the course of the war.

    Pegasus Bridge

    The first bridge liberated on June 6, 1944, Pegasus Bridge marked the beginning of the liberation of France. British paratroopers of the 6th Airborne Division carried out a remarkably precise nighttime assault here. The bridge, faithfully restored, and the adjoining museum recount this heroic mission. Surrounded by the canal and the famous "Café Gondrée," the first house liberated in France, the site still resonates with the spirit of courage and Allied brotherhood.
