Start with the church on the square and continue to the paratroopers' museum. ### Day 1 · 12:00 · Utah Beach An hour and a half in the museum, built on the beach, and a while on the sand. Have lunch in the area. ### Day 1 · 14:30 · Pointe du Hoc Three quarters of an hour along the west trail, the only one open while the works last. Park where the staff direct you. ### Day 1 · 15:45 · Omaha Beach at Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer Half an hour beside the sculpture Les Braves, with the whole beach in front of you. ### Day 1 · 16:15 · Colleville American Cemetery Between one hour and an hour and a half. In summer the flag is lowered at around 17:00; from October to March, around 16:00, so bring this stop forward by an hour. ### Day 2 · 9:00 · Longues-sur-Mer Battery Three quarters of an hour among the casemates and the command post on the cliff. ### Day 2 · 10:00 · Arromanches Two hours: the D-Day museum and a walk along the beach facing the remains of the Mulberry harbour. Have lunch in the village. ### Day 2 · 14:00 · Juno and Sword, in passing The coast road continues through Courseulles and Ouistreham. Stop wherever you like to see the sea. ### Day 2 · 15:00 · Pegasus Bridge Twenty minutes. The museum is closed for works until 2027; the bridge and the Café Gondrée can be seen from outside. ### Day 2 · 15:30 · Mémorial de Caen Until closing, at 19:00 from April to September. If you go in winter, leave the Mémorial for another morning. ## Qué llevar - A car with a full tank when leaving Bayeux - A waterproof and footwear for wet grass - The Explore Normandy Pass on your phone - Discreet clothing for the cemetery - Water and something to eat for the first day ## Consejos ### Two nights in Bayeux That way you don't unpack your suitcase and each day you head off in a different direction. ### Buy the Mémorial ticket in advance In high season, get it on its website: the ticket office stops selling an hour and a quarter before closing. ### Respect the silence at Colleville During the flag lowering people stand still until the bugle call ends. ### If you go with teenagers Pointe du Hoc and Longues work better than any museum: you can touch the craters and walk into the casemates. ## Preguntas frecuentes ### Can it be done in one day? Only by seeing little. If you have one day, choose the American sector, from Pointe du Hoc to the cemetery, and leave the rest. ### How much do the tickets cost? The cemeteries, Pointe du Hoc, Longues and the beaches are free. Museums range from €10 at Utah Beach to €20.80 at the Mémorial de Caen per adult; the Explore Normandy Pass reduces some. ### Does it work in winter? Yes, but with short days and museums that close earlier. Bring the cemetery forward, as it closes at 17:00, and leave the Mémorial de Caen for another day. ### What do I do if I don't have a car? Replace the first day with a guided minibus tour from Bayeux (April to October) and the second with a train to Caen for the Mémorial.
