D-Day Monument

Reviewed By 264wendys - Blackshear, United States

We visited the American Cemetery and Monument in May, 2019. We were there just a few days before the 75th D-Day Anniversary celebrations. The grounds were immaculate and beautiful. Obviously, it's almost exactly like Arlington in Virginia, but the fact that you're on the beach, so close to where so many of the men in those graves died, just makes a bigger impact, somehow. They play Taps and the National Anthem every hour, and each time the songs were played, it brought tears to our eyes. We forget the sacrifices of these men, and this place just does a great job of bringing all that into focus so you truly can appreciate the Greatest Generation.

Omaha Beach

This historic beach was the primary point of landing on June 6, 1944, for the entry of American forces into World War II and saw some of the most intense fighting in the entire war.

I am so happy I took time from our holiday to visit Omaha Beach, its so much more stunning and impressive in person, the sea views are stunning, the cliffs, the nearby quaint town, the art and sculptures, this is one special and unique place in the earth I would suggest all take time to visit.

Ferme de la Sapiniere

Reviewed By 291PeterB - Milton Keynes, United Kingdom

An interesting conducted tour of the farm's cider and calvados production with a well-informed English speaking guide (be there for 2.30). The reasonable price included tasting of apple juice, cider and calvados of different ages. A wide selection of drinks etc available in the farm shop.

Les Braves

Reviewed By tammyjewel628 - Houston, United States

You can see it from the parking lot...it was nice to just sit and look at it, see the beach, the flags flying...I can't even imagine what that day was like back during the war...so humbling and so blessed to be able to visit - the American Cemetery and Omaha Beach Museum and gift shop are nearby (within 10 minutes)...when we left we drove along the beach on the way out, beautiful views...We visited on the 75th Anniversary...it was a bucket list checkoff and I'm so glad it worked out this year...
