France - Lower Normandy

American Cemetery

A Karen Brown Recommendation

The road travels inland from the water’s edge from Port en Bessin to Colleville sur Mer, where a road takes you out to the American Cemetery and an expansive 170-acre plot overlooking Omaha Beach. A dignified tribute to those who gave their lives in battle, 9,387 white crosses stand in perfect alignment on acreage that looks out to a backdrop of sand and ocean. The memory of this gorgeous setting, the beautiful paths that weave along the bluffs, the chapel, and the dramatic memorial will linger.
