Things To Do
Le Mont-Saint-Michel
Mont-Saint-Michel is unique in that it is built on a rocky islet, surrounded by a magnificent bay, the scene of the highest tides in continental Europe. The Mont and its bay are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial
Colleville-sur-Mer American Cemetery is an American military cemetery located just above one of the landing beaches named Omaha Beach, in the French commune of Colleville-sur-Mer on one of the sites of the Allied landings of June 6, 1944.
Airborne Museum
In the heart of Sainte-Mère-Église, in front of the bell tower on which the parachutist John Steele was hung, the Airborne Museum will make you live and understand the events of the D-Day.
Utah Beach
We recommend you to visit the D-Day beaches: Utah Beach, Omaha Beach, Gold Beach, Juno Beach and Sword Beach. The D-Day landings on the Normandy beaches on June 6, 1944 were the largest amphibious and airborne operation of all time. Even today, millions of people gather on the landing beaches to pay tribute to the soldiers who liberated France.
Musée de la Tapisserie de Bayeux
The Bayeux Tapestry tells the epic story, in wool thread embroidered on linen cloth, of William, Duke of Normandy who became King of England in 1066 after the Battle of Hastings. The visit to the museum is organised in three sections, providing an understanding of the work and its context.
Nez de Jobourg
After Mont-Saint-Michel, the Nez de Jobourg is one of Normandy's most visited sites. Its cliffs are among the highest in continental Europe. We recommend a hike along the "chemin des douaniers" to admire the view.
D-Day Experience
The D-Day Experience is an authentic C-47 that has been converted into a high tech immersive flight simulator. The simulator relives the channel crossing taken by the paratroopers for DDay and the heavy flak fire they experienced in the skies over Normandy. The museum also contains an impressive collection of airborne items including weapons, uniforms and equipment.
Honfleur
A major tourist destination in Normandy. You too will be charmed by the city of painters, with its picturesque narrow streets and restaurant-lined "Vieux-Bassin".
