Day 7: July 16, 2023
Busy day visiting WWII D Day landing sites.
First up Arromanches, the viewing platform overlooking Mulberry Harbour. Then the D Day Museum in the British Sector at Sword Beach.
The Canadian Sector at Juno Beach was our second visit, with a guided tour of the German bunker, part of the Atlantic Wall defensive system, followed by lunch in Courseulles-sur-Mer fishing harbour.
We stopped at the Canadian CWGC Cemetery Bény-sur-Mer to pay our respects before heading to the Merville Battery complex, with more bunker visits.
We finished our day by driving over Pegasus Bridge then had supper in Caen, a very tasty tartiflette made with Normandy cheeses.
