Musee Memorial de la Bataille de Normandie

Memorial museum of the battle of Normandy is located at the gateway to the D-Day beaches. It is the only museum which presents all of the military operations which took place on Norman soil over the summer months of 1944. The museum shows visitors all the key phases of the fighting and the day by day advances of the forces involved. This visit is essential preparation for visiting the memorial sites of summer 1944.

Omaha Beach

Let's visit Omaha Beach, which is the second beach from the west among the five landing areas of the Normandy Invasion of World War II. It was assaulted on June 6, 1944 (D-Day of the invasion), by units of the U.S. infantry divisions. Many of whose soldiers were drowned during the approach from ships offshore or were killed by defending fire from German troops placed on heights surrounding the beach.

Arromanches is known as a historic place of the Normandy landings and in particular as the place where a Mulberry harbour artificial port was installed. It was on the beach of Arromanches that, during the Invasion of Normandy immediately after D-Day, the Allies established an artificial temporary harbour to allow the unloading of heavy equipment without waiting for the conquest of deep water ports such as Le Havre or Cherbourg. Although at the centre of the Gold Beach landing zone, Arromanches was spared the brunt of the fighting on D-Day so the installation and operation of the port could proceed as quickly as possible without damaging the beach and destroying surrounding lines of communication.
