d-day beaches (plages du debarquement de la bataille de normandie)印象
-
Visited Omaha and Utah beaches, the 2 beaches where U.S. troops landed. It's very interesting to see where historical events took place and to really put things into context. The beach areas are very large. Utah beach is more deserted and not much is around there. Omaha beach today is a busy tourist beach with several monuments. Definitely worth visiting.

We were the first in our family to visit the grave of my uncle in the Normandy American Military Cemetery. It was a moving and very touching experience, tears streaming down our faces.The cemetery overlooks Utah beach and is pristine and beautifully maintained. A chapel and sculpture are on the grounds as a memorial to our American soldiers.As we traveled to Omaha beach, there were no sun bathers, beach umbrellas or beach chairs. We were told by our tour guide that the French people respect this beach as a cemetery and never use it for recreation. We were flabbergasted at the respect shown to our American soldiers.We were also told that there are still approx. 30-33 amphibious tanks still stuck out in the water, as they were never able to get to the beach, and our soldiers have to wade through the water to get ashore,Be sure to travel further inland to the German bunkers - where the German soldiers had excellent views of our soldiers - and were well protected themselves. You still see the barbed wire fencing, and the huge craters in the ground from the bombing and attacks.Powerful, emotional and historicA must seeDifficult navigation and walking - not suitable for wheelchairs or walkers or strollers

Visiting the D-Day beaches was amazing. Most emotional and moving were the cemeteries. All rows on perfect order, pristine and perfect. Complete silence except for the ocean.An amazing learning experience for young or old. A "beach" visit I'll never forget

这两者并不矛盾，D-Day的海滩大多人烟稀少（可能是去的时候在秋冬季的缘故），但奥马哈却以游人居多。海滩还是非常值得一去的，不仅风景优美，还有大量的战争遗迹和战争博物馆。但前往当地的公共交通似乎不是很方便。

We visited Omaha beach and then Arromanches where the remains of the floating Mulberry harbour is located. Seeing the beaches puts the effort involved in the D Day landings into perspective as the area is vast. Worth a visit

Visiting the Normandy D-Day beaches and associated cemeteries and museums is interesting and educational, but it is above all an intensely emotional experience. It sure makes you think about the real cost of freedom. I was moved to tears more than once while treading this hallowed ground.

As some of the other reviews have indicated, John has a big anti-American chip on his shoulder, and goes out of his way to insult his American guests--insinuating that many of the well-documented heroics of American soldiers (Pointe du Hoc, etc.) on D-Day are inaccurate and fabricated tales created years later from their hazy memories. Don't waste your time and money on his tour and personal insecurities.

We visited all the beaches on a trip to Normandy and found it to be very moving, it is a must see at least once in your life as a mark of respect for those who lost their lives.

While in France on vacation my wife and I took in this historic and very moving attraction. The U.S. cemetery is something that every American that visits France should see. The French people that take care of the cemetery should be proud of themselves, I know that my wife and I are proud of them. The grounds are unreal, I don't think that there is one blade of grass that is higher then the others, they even scrub the tombstones on a regular basis. When you go to the cemetery they give you a rose to put on a headstone of your choice. It was an honor to be there and it is something that my wife and I will never forget. Paris was nice but the U.S. cemetery in Normandy is what we will never forget. A must see!!!

Truly, truly and amazing humbling experience. To stand on the beaches is very emotional. Although, I personally did not have a family member arrive on the beaches - I still had the emotional experiences that I'm sure many American families experience. Breath taking view and beaches. I highly recommend visiting and taking time to walk down to the water and stand in the water and look back onto the hillside. Bring a tissue because your eyes will be teary.
