We are all aware of the historical significance of this beach during WWII. It was a moving experience for my mother and me as we quietly reflected on the memorials, plaques, and information honoring the soldiers who landed on the shores of Northern France in 1944. It is important to be able to understand both French and English to fully appreciate the stories of these brave individuals. However, time has passed and now the beach serves as a peaceful place to relax and enjoy. The memories and gratitude will always remain, and our fallen heroes can now hear the sounds of freedom and happiness from their final resting place. A heartfelt thank you to all those involved in Operation Neptune and Operation Overlord.
This beach is perfect for wind sports and activities. I plan on returning with a better itinerary. Additionally, the beach has a rich history and a large tide. However, the lack of sun in August was a bit disappointing.
We had a well-arranged French breakfast from the local bakery while watching the sunrise at the beach. It was a peaceful spot along the Normandy coast, just as expected.
