This itinerary covers the key D-Day memorial sites in Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, where American forces landed on June 6, 1944. Begin at the Omaha Beach Memorial Museum to understand the historical context through artifacts, vehicles, and veteran testimonies. Continue to Omaha Beach itself, where approximately 2,400 soldiers lost their lives. End at Les Braves, a striking steel sculpture honoring the fallen. The museum operates seasonally from mid-February to early November with varying hours; check their website before visiting. Allow extra time to walk along the beach and reflect.
