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.

Notre-Dame Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Bayeux Cathedral was consecrated in 1077 by Bishop Odon de Conteville in the presence of his brother, William the Conqueror. It was to decorate the nave of the cathedral that Odo had the famous Bayeux Tapestry embroidered, which tells the story of the conquest of England in 1066 by William, Duke of Normandy.

Omaha Beach

Highlight • Beach

Omaha Beach is one of the five D-Day landing beaches. The site contains numerous remnants of this historical event, as well as many memorials. Among these is a German bunker that served as the initial headquarters for organizing traffic between the beach and the hinterland. The monument dedicated to the bunker commemorates the landing of the 2nd Infantry Division "Indian Head" on June 7th.

Les Braves Monument, Omaha Beach

Highlight • Monument

The Omaha Beach monument Les Braves is located in the middle of Omaha Beach.

The plaque with an explanation about the monument is on the boulevard of Omaha Beach.

Caption from the maker of the monument:

I created this to honor the courage of these people:

Sons, husbands and fathers, who endangered and often sacrificed their lives in the hope of freeing the French.

Les Braves consists of three elements:

=> The wings of hope

So that the strength that these men carried on June 6, 1944 will continue to inspire us and remind us that together it is always possible to change the future.

=> Rise, freedom!

So that the example of those who rose up against barbarism will help us to stand strong against all forms of inhumanity.

=> The wings of brotherhood

So that this wave of brotherhood always reminds us of our responsibility towards others and ourselves.

On June 6, 1944, these men were more than soldiers, they were our brothers.

Omaha Beach Memorial

Highlight • Monument

Vierville-sur-Mer National Guard Memorial:
This memorial was erected in memory of the US National Guard. The US 29th Infantry Division, which landed on Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944, was part of the National Guard. This division had a hard time during D-Day. The 35th Infantry Division was also part of the National Guard but did not land on Omaha Beach until early July. The monument was built after the war on the formidable German 'wiederstandnest 72'.
