I've just come back on Monday from Normandy from a battlefield tour.
The american cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer is well worth a visit. As mentioned Sainte-Mere-Eglise is superb and the Airborne museum there was one of my highlights. Pegasus bridge is also very interesting and a couple of good cafes there for lunch. Normandy is something I feel everyone should see and visit. It really is very moving! Hope you have a great time |

Can I recommend you try to get to Fontenay le Pesnil there is the 49 Division memorial there as well as the CWGC cemetery.
The 4th battalion the Lincolnshire Regiment fought there as part of 49 Division. I also recommend the Hillman bunker complex at Colleville-Montgomery behind Sword Beach captured by the Suffolk Regiment on D-Day. 1995 Defender 110 CSW 1971 SIIA Lightweight |
