Langrune-sur-Mer

Highlight • Other

The name of this seaside resort is of the same Scandinavian origin as Greenland's (and also means "green land" in Danish), probably because of the abundance of seaweed, which makes the air smell of iodine. The beautiful two-storey bell tower of the 13th century church resembles the Eglise Saint-Pierre in Caen

Historic Center of Bayeux

Highlight • Historical Site

A small old town worth seeing, which was the first to be liberated without destruction in the Second World War. It still has a lot of old historical buildings with lots of half-timbering and the Norman cathedral.

Arromanches-les-Bains

Highlight • Settlement

The bay overlooking the village of Arromanches was chosen by the allies for the construction of the Mulberry port. Few places in Normandy allow you to see the scars of war so clearly. This prefabricated port allowed the Allies to be supplied in the days following the landing on June 6, 1944.

You can observe the ancient barges up close only at low tide. At high tide, take the opportunity to visit the pretty village and its museums.

On the cliff above Arromanches there is not only a beautiful view of the town and the man-made harbor. This modern museum offers a unique and touching video experience, reconstructing events with a fresh perspective that will teach you a lot through images. A great experience.
