Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

D-day landing sites

Those who remembered the events of world war 2 will remember Omaha beach. Normandy was the landing site of which 5 beaches were taken back from the Germans through the Allied’s courage and sacrifice. Omaha beach was the toughest, the bloodiest. The sacrifices made here in June 1944 liberated Europe. A beautiful tribute to the sacrifices of every serviceman who gave their lives so we could live free and without fear now. #MyTripVlog

When it comes to Normandy, probably everyone knows the story of World War II about the landing of Normandy. In the Normandy landing operation, the Allies crossed the English beach and chose five beaches to land in Normandy, France. This map is very clearly marked with geographical location, from left to right, Baojian Beach, Juno Beach, Golden Beach, Ohama Beach and Utah Beach. Among them, the casualties of Ohama Beach are the most tragic. Drive the car to the grass on the beach, walk down the sandy beaches, watch the waves come up and down again and again, pick up a few stones as a memorial. Even in the bright sunshine, people are still wrapped in coats by the cold wind, facing the English Channel in the wind, it seems that the bloody taste of World War II has not dissipated.

Omaha Beach Memorial Museum

#museum #france #educational #history #historical Another musuem located in France called the Omaha Beach Memorial Musuem located at Av.De La Liberation, 1470 Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, France where the musuem showcases the many weapons and artifacts used during the war on Omaha Beach. The war had a record breaking American troops suffering casualties of more than 2000 during the operation. The troops choose this beach due to the curvature of the beach making it a good defender ground among the enemy. Of course now, the beach is open to public but many believe that there are unrest souls on the beach. Well, it's your choice to visit the beach ^^
