Amy and I did a tour that took us to some of the areas connected with the D-Day Landings in June 1944. It was just a half day tour and it gave us some insight into what went on at that time. Our first stop was at Longues-sur-Mer, where we saw some of the German Guns and Bunkers that were set up to protect the French Coast from invasion when they occupied France
Next stop was Omaha Beach were some of American Troops landed and many lost their lives.
Then we headed to the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer.
Our final spot was Pointe du Hoc where we saw more guns, bunkers, observation posts. We could also see the craters where the allies bombed the area before the Rangers arrived by boat the scale the cliffs and capture the guns.
