2. Stand at the top of the 30-meter cliffs that U.S. Army Rangers scaled under enemy fire on the morning of June 6, 1944. The craters left by Allied naval bombardment, the German bunkers, the gun pits — all intact, exactly as they were left 80 years ago. The most dramatic and untouched D-Day site in all of Normandy. As seen in Saving Private Ryan.. Enjoy a panoramic bus tour highlighting key landmarks such as Villa Strassburger, Hippodrome de Deauville-La Touques, and Casino Barrière Deauville. The bus stops at the Casino, just steps from the iconic boardwalk “Les Planches” and the beach. You will then have free time to shop, explore, or relax by the sea.

About Le Havre

Le Havre is a major port at the mouth of the Seine, rebuilt in concrete after the Second World War to plans by Auguste Perret and now UNESCO-listed.

Le Havre was founded in 1517 by King François I as a harbour on the Seine estuary and is still one of the main ports of France. Bombing in 1944 flattened the centre, and a team led by Auguste Perret rebuilt it in reinforced concrete on a grid of wide avenues, a modern town that is now a World Heritage site. Saint Joseph's Church, with a lantern tower more than a hundred metres high, anchors the skyline.
