説明

Pay your respects to the brave and unforgotten on a drive through now-peaceful Normandy countryside, visiting its most significant D-Day invasion sites. In the village of Arromanches, tour the museum where remnants of an ingenious Mulberry Harbor can still be seen; these improvised floating piers allowed crucial Allied arms and supplies to be offloaded away from existing ports controlled by the Germans. At Colleville Saint Laurent, walk the American Cemetery, where a sea of white crosses and Stars of David mark the final resting place of nearly 9,400 soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice in Normandy – and see the names of 1,557 others inscribed on the Wall of the Missing. The site overlooks infamous Omaha Beach, where the most terrifying landing of all took place, with many U.S. soldiers perishing before even reaching the sand. On a visit to Pointe du Hoc, stand before a granite monument commemorating the Army Rangers who scaled this 100-foot cliff by rope ladder to disarm German artillery aimed at the Omaha Beach landing operation. Overall, this day is a historical pilgrimage any freedom-loving traveler will find profoundly inspiring.
