D-Day landing beaches<\/strong>: recommended itineraries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"campsite<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The D-Day landing beaches are just over an hour from the campsite. We recommend that you book your tickets<\/strong> before you get there, and you can even opt for theExplore Normandy Pass<\/a>, which will save<\/strong> you money and allow you to visit more sites!<\/strong> To visit the D-Day landing beaches from the campsite, start with the nearest beach: Utah Beach<\/strong>, around 50 km away. It’s the American landing beach furthest west, and therefore the closest to Port-Bail-sur-Mer. Over the course of a full day, you can discover several sites, including Sainte-M\u00e8re-\u00c9glise<\/strong>: an emblematic town with its paratrooper on the church and the Airborne Museum<\/strong>. Then head off to admire La Pointe du Hoc<\/strong>, an impressive cliff face stormed by the American Rangers. Continue on toOmaha Beach<\/strong>, famous for its American cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer<\/strong>. To make the most of your day, we recommend an early<\/strong> start, good walking shoes <\/strong>and a windbreaker:<\/strong> the weather here is changeable! <\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n
