D-Day 1944 – Numerous memorial sites nearby
History was made here in Normandy in June 1944. From the beaches of Calvados, the Allied forces decided to land to liberate the country. Many soldiers and civilians of all nationalities gave their lives so that we can live in peace today. Many sites bear witness to these actions and are now places of remembrance and visit. In Ouistreham, Bénouville (5 min), Caen (20 min), Arromanches (50 min) museums retrace the history of this dark period. The Caen Memorial is today the most visited and a must for anyone wishing to understand the origins of this world conflict.
Cemeteries have also been erected to pay tribute to all those who fell during the confrontation. The most emblematic of these is at Colleville-sur-Mer, the American cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach. In Cambes-en-Plaine and Ver-sur-Mer, the Normandy Memorial Trust pays tribute to British soldiers and civilians from Normandy. Other sites are to be discovered in Calvados near your campsite Mirabel Les Prairies de la Mer.
