There, the Musée du Débarquement will tell you all about the planning and the execution of D-Day from the American side. Your guide will also take you to the US military cemetery, where you can pay your respects to the ones who fell during D-Day and the battle of Normandy that followed. To finish the American sector, you'll head to the Pointe du Hoc, a breathtaking cliff offering lunar landscapes and a magnificent viewpoint over the English Channel. At the end of your sightseeing tour of Normandy, you'll go to the village of Sainte-Mère-Église, the heart of the jump zone for the 82nd Airborne U.S. forces.
