We continued our journey along the coastal road and visiting numerous D Day Normandy Landing sites.
Our first stop are the German bunkers at Longues sur Mer. It was a key element of the German 'Atlantic Wall' offensive. The site includes a range-finding post and four casemates, each housing 150mm gun.
Next was a visit to the American Cemetery where there are 9,387 headstones. A very impressive site with a great visitor center.
From here we went to Point Hoc, where the American Rangers attacked the German fortifications.
Our last stop was Utah Beach.
