brittany american cemetery印象

This was an unexpected finding during our stay at nearby La Croix Avranchin. We visited shortly after the D Day celebrations, and the shop windows in St James still had decorations to commemorate the event. The cemetery is very well (and lovingly?) maintained, and a place of sombre beauty in which to pay respect to those young men who lost their lives. There is a display in the central monument that explains the history of the war and the American involvement in freeing France from Nazi control.

Sad that so many young soldiers are laid there.but all credit to the Americans for keeping the memory of them Alive. The Chapel is perfect as is the grounds.
-
A very moving place to visit - it's well worth an hour of your time as part of your visit to this area. We climbed the tower for the better view of the area too.

Excellent place to visit and pay your respects but in August you will be there with several thousand others!

This is a small cemetery located about 30 minutes south of the Mont Saint Michel Monastery. It is worth a visit for those who care about such things, like honoring the American lives that were lost to free Europe from the Nazis. This is well off the beaten path, but it is a very beautiful place.

If you are in the area paying your respects in the tranquil, immaculately tended memorial garden and chapel is a must.The Chapel itself has great stories and mosaics detailing the advances you can go up the tower from where the views of the local area are amazing.

I have had the opportunity to visit several World War II cemeteries in Europe. Americans should be proud of the condition and the beauty of the final resting places for these heroes of DDay.Our government does not always show well in other countries, but this place made me proud to be an American.
-
A very well kept place. Words don't do it justice a must see if in the area. Rows and rows of perfect white crosses and a fitting tribute to those heroes who fell for our freedom

Visited August with our 5 year old. As expected, we found it to be immaculate throughout. The grounds were perfect and the main Chapel is amazing. You have to visit and even though my little one is 5, he found the whole experience very worthwhile.

The American Battlefield Memorial Commission does a beautiful job in maintaining these sacred grounds
