Tips van locals
Famously where the American Rangers scaled a vertical cliff under fire to attack a massive gun emplacement position threatening the troops on the D Day Beaches. Not landscaped and pristine, the pock marks of countless shells are still visible.
This really surpassed our expectations. The story of the D Day landings is beautifully captured - you can walk into the bomb craters and shelters. Fantastic views too.
