Omaha Beach It's hard to imagine the events of June 6th 1944, with families enjoying the sea front and beach. Even so, it is still an emotional experience looking out over the miles of sand, trying to picture thousands of soldiers making the first steps towards the freedom of Europe.

Omaha Beach Museum at St-Laurent-sur-Mer Situated a few hundred yards back from the beach, the museum has many dioramas showing scenes and items from the invasion. Also on display are a LCVP landing craft, Sherman M4 and an American M1 155mm heavy artillery gun.
