We began with a quick stop in Sainte-Mère-Église before heading to Utah Beach, where we visited the Musée du Débarquement to learn more about the D-Day landings. From there, we traveled to Point du Hoc and explored the cliffs and bunkers that played such an important role during WWII.

After lunch at L'Omaha, we spent time walking along Omaha Beach before visiting the Colleville American Cemetery, a powerful tribute to the soldiers who fought in Normandy.

We ended the day back in Bayeux with an orientational walk through the town and a free evening to explore and enjoy dinner on our own.
