British Normandy Memorial

The British Memorial at Ver sur Mer honors all British soldiers who sacrificed their life in Normandy in 1944. Overlooking Gold Beach, it is an amazing contribution to what D-Day and the Battle of Normandy in 1944 opened the way to the liberation of Europe and the end of World War II. British armed forces played a central role in these momentous events, and more than 22,000 made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. The Normandy Memorial Trust was created in 2016.

Pegasus Bridge

Pegasus Bridge was the first bridge to be liberated in 1944, in the night of 5 and 6 June, as part of the Pegasus Bridge operation, also known as Operation Deadstick. It was carried out by British parachutists and led to the libe-ration of Caen. Speed was of the essence, as well as preserving the element of surprise. The strategy paid off! An identical replica has been made of the bridge immortalised in Daryl Zanuck's film "The Longest Day" in 1961. You can see the original bridge in the Pegasus Memorial Park.

Le Grand Bunker Musee du Mur de l'Atlantique

The Grand Bunker of the former Command and Fire Direction Post has been completely renovated in order to house a Museum entirely dedicated to the Atlantic Wall in Normandy. After having belonged to the French Navy, the founders wanted this unique blockhouse to regain its original appearance.A remarkable construction, since it is a Sonderkonstruktion, all the rooms were refurbished in a remarkable way, with very abundant and authentic material. The founders took full advantage of this 17-meter high construction to put into context and present the essential functions that characterized the life of the defensive positions of the Atlantic Wall facing the D-Day landings.
