Memorial to the American soldiers who died during the Normandy landings. Gallery and space with portraits of soldiers.

A duty of remembrance compels us to this place of remembrance, where we pay tribute to those who fought in the Second World War, soldiers and civilians alike, honouring the courage, intelligence and sense of sacrifice of those who lost their lives in battle. A sober, contemporary scenography enhances the beauty of the theme. Continuously screened, director Max Lewkowicz’s moving and thoughtful Letters retraces the epic story of 5 young soldiers who fell on the field of honour. A memorable visit.

The exhibition is very well done.

I was fortunate to have visited in 2019. You can only truly appreciate the history and the emotions associated with it by physically being here. Walking among the sea of white grave markers, alone with my thoughts, was something I will never forget. My uncle Charles was a combat veteran of Normandy. He received the Bronze Star for single-handedly capturing 20 Germans while on a motorcycle. Although he died in 1987, it felt almost like he stood with me the entire time. His memory certainly was. The day I went was overcast, reminding me of that pivotal day in 1944, which only added to the serenity of my visit. I saw a few GIs who were D-Day veterans. I also thought a lot of my dear friend, Jerry Mueller, who served in the Pacific, who died in 2013. It was a day I'll always appreciate.

Très bel endroit. Magique et plein d’histoires !
C’est gratuit (j’ai pas trouvé l’info avant donc je précise)
Pour nous, aucune galère sur le parking au début du mois de mai

Dommage pour les groupes d’enfants/ado qui s’en foutent et qui encombrent les allées..

Une belle découverte dans un lieu chargé d'Histoire. Une belle exposition au sous-sol. Merci à la charmante dame qui a répondu à la question de ma fille concernant la Rosette et pour toutes les réponses apportées ensuite lors de notre échange. Mes filles et moi avons apprécié. Merci de respecter ce lieu car certaines et certains oublient un peu beaucoup.
