Seine Bay

Highlight • Lake

Directly below the military cemetery is this dream beach - it is very difficult to imagine what bloody events took place here in 1944!

American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer

Highlight • Historical Site

The American cemetery of Colleville-sur-mer is managed by employees who are American citizens. You are in a way in United States territory in France.

Reflecting Pool at the Normandy American Cemetery Visitor Center

Highlight • Monument

These puppets were dropped on parachutes and were intended to simulate airborne operations and irritate the German Wehrmacht. Rupert was a somewhat derogatory name given to "stiff" British officers by Scottish soldiers.

August 6, 2025, Plage d'Omaha et le centre des visiteurs du cimetière américain de Normandie — boucle depuis Colleville-sur-Mer

2 passages closed. Forced to make unplanned detours

July 5, 2024, Omaha Beach en het bezoekerscentrum van de Amerikaanse begraafplaats van Normandië - lus vanaf Colleville-sur-Mer

Beautiful and varied walk. History and landscapes in one.

April 3, 2025, Omaha Beach

A circular hike with a resistance nest, part of which goes along Omaha Beach, with views of the bunkers sheltered by the dunes. Incredible.
