Itinerary
From your hotel in Caen and its surroundings. The city is liberated on June 20, 1944.
The American rangers will seize the tip of the Hoc, a cliff thirty meters high, to neutralize powerful German guns supposed to be installed in blockhouses. Today, the site presents the remains of the German battery and the deep traces of the fierce battles that took place there.
This is the beach where the Allies lost the most troops, which earned him the nickname "Bloody Omaha" (Omaha, the bloody).
Located just above Omaha Beach, the Normandy American Cemetery honors American soldiers who died during the Battle of Normandy. A must-see, it brings together the perfectly aligned tombstones of 9387 soldiers.
The Mulberry port is an artificial harbor built in Arromanches to allow the supply of Allies in the days following the Normandy landing: excellent stage for lunch.

About Caen
Caen, in Normandy, is the city of William the Conqueror, with two great abbeys, a hilltop castle and the D-Day beaches within easy reach.
Caen sits on the Orne in Lower Normandy, and William the Conqueror made it a base in the 11th century, building the castle that still dominates the old centre. He is buried in the Abbaye aux Hommes, and his wife Matilda in the Abbaye aux Dames, two Romanesque abbeys on opposite sides of the centre. Much of the city was destroyed in the Battle of Normandy in 1944 and rebuilt in pale Caen stone.
Top-ranked sights in Caen: Honfleur, Caen Memorial Museum (Mémorial de Caen), St. Catherine’s Church (Eglise Sainte-Catherine).
