wonderful historical area Jun 06, 2009
The beaches are definately worth seeing. The bunkers and surrounding land really bring to life what our history's soldiers had to go through. Its also a pretty drive as well. When I was there for the anni. of D-Day they had hospitals and camps set up to also show a living history. Memorials and plaques are everywhere to further your knowledge of the war.

The Normandy region has lots of memorials of WWII. Most are free. The most expensive thing there is the gas. The people there are very friendly to the Americans. It is a very emotional trip. So much blood was spilled there. It is amazing and everyone that can go...should! I'll add photos later!

It's had to have happened to you. You're running late and you find yourself stuck in traffic behind some old dude going 25 miles an hour in the wrong lane with the wrong blinker on. Most likely…beach ahead. Dozens lay crumpled in the sand at the waters edge, their limbs floating awkwardly to and fro in blood-stained sea foam. He moves with the crowd, hears a slap, and the man to his left… Omaha Beach, Normandy France |

We got lost, reaching Le Havre, so we decided to go to Honfleur, crossing the Bridge of Normandy. If Honfleur is a very nice port with a pretty town center, the beach there was a bit disappointing… An afternoon on the beach |

When we left the memorial, our first stop was at some German bunkers. Surprisingly, they were in very good condition. I was also surprised at how far they were from the sea shore too. The guns and cannons must have been powerful.
Next, we stopped a…beaches to get some information because they were close. The interesting thing about this location was the artificial ship docks that were made. These are still there today as if they are ready to be used if need be. Another surprise was to see people… Normandy - France |
