This itinerary focuses on the Merville Battery Museum, one of the most significant D-Day sites in Normandy. The museum preserves the German coastal fortification that was the target of a daring British paratrooper assault on June 6, 1944. Visitors can explore preserved bunkers, watch an immersive sound-and-light show, and see the SNAFU Special - the only C-47 aircraft in Normandy that participated in the D-Day drops. The site is open from March 15 to November 15.
