Day 7: June 16, 2024
Today was the D-Day day.
Visit of the striking American Cemetery of Colleville-sur-Mer. It is a very powerful and emotionnal place
It is in the Normandy region, right in Omaha Beach, where some troops landed 80 years ago. Almost 10000 soldiers who lost their lives there are burried in the Colleville cemetery.
To stay in the theme, we then went to visit the D-Day museum, where we could learn about the genius ingeneering of floating docks and bridges, and of war logistics.
Now we are resting in a peaceful residency in a peaceful town with awesome appartment rooms, few minutes from the sea, by walk.
Get prepared to go back to Paris tomorrow !
