D-Day and the Battle of Normandy
The stretch of beach along the Calvados coast is world famous for the part it played in turning around World War II on 6th June 1944, when British, Canadian and American troops broke through Nazi defences.
The Battle of Normandy Historical Area is a veritable open-air museum covering the three departements of Calvados, Manche and Orne, and includes all the sites, museums and memorials associated with D-Day and the invasion.
