Quiet country roads lead to this small cemetery for approximately 630 British soldiers who died in WWII.

A moving combination of wartime artefacts and modern outdoor sculpture, including one of a present day WW2 veteran looking at an image of himself as a soldier in 1944.

These pontoons, made of concrete, were brought here from England and used to build a port to supply the Allies with men, weapons and equipment.

Nice small city

Beautiful medieval town

As a memorial to the countless war dead, such a "Cimetiere militaire" - in German they are usually referred to as "war graves" or "soldiers' cemetery" - is still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." it says in the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the many people buried here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and an inhuman tyranny. The most important and at the same time everlasting function of soldiers' cemeteries or cemeteries of honor or war graves is therefore to keep the memory of this suffering alive and to remind each generation anew (!) of the need to maintain lasting peace.

Lovely town, if you have time go to the tapestry

Bayeux is a charming city in the Normandy region. It is located on the Aure River, about 20 km northwest of Caen.

Bayeux was an important city in the Roman Empire and later became a bishopric in the 4th century. The city also has many historic buildings and monuments, including Bayeux Cathedral, a beautiful example of Gothic architecture.
