Entre les deux secteurs Américains Utah et Omaha se trouve une des clefs du succès de l'opération Overlord. Cette fortification fut prise d'assaut par le redoutable 2ème Bataillon de Rangers US quelques minutes avant les grandes vagues sur les plages. Ce site est resté comme au départ des troupes, c'est donc abasourdi que vous écouterez votre guide vous décrire par exemple ce qu'était un bombardement lors du DDAY.

This trip was a Christmas present for my 9 year old son who has been self studying WW2, Marie was an excellent tour guide, we departed on time from Bayeux in a lovely air-conditioned people carrier, she was knowledgeable about the area and pointed out interesting landmarks and historical buildings on each part of the car journey, she listened and answered all my son's questions and the rest of the tour were very patient with him too. It was an amazing day all round and we couldn't recommend the tour highly enough.
