Restaurant de la Marée

“This lovely place in Grandcamp is a real treat. It’s good for any group but particularly good value in terms of kids set menu. Food is consistently excellent and service is also very accommodating. You need to book in advance, it’s very popular. ”

“Point d'intérêt touristique majeur pour tous ceux qui s'intéressent à l'histoire et le déroulement du débarquement des alliés en juin 1945. Visite des différents points d'observation allemands, panneaux de précis historique, très belle vue sur la Manche...”

“Almost 20.000 German soldiers (among them also 17 year old boys) are buried here. It is a must-do to see the difference between this cemetry, and the American one. In all kind of ways fascinating.”

“Omaha Beach has an impressive monument called 'Les Braves'. It shows wings of hope, freedom and brotherhood. Almost 35.000 soldiers of the allied troups went ashore here at D-Day, the 6th of June 1944. Omaha Beach is a beautiful sandy beach where you can walk, please go there and enjoy its sunset in the evening. The beach is not spoiled with tourism, out of respect for the battle and losses. So do not expect loads of restaurants, bars and touristic gadgets. It is kept basic and therefore it is beautiful. There are a lot of touring guides who can tell you about D-Day. ”

“Factory which makes and sells much of the famous dairy products in the area. There is a small shop where products are sold directly. In the summer there are lines for ice-cream and benches available so you can eat on-site.”
