This impressive fortress was part of the German defensive system of the Atlantic Wall. Its remains bear witness to the conflict that took place on June 6, 1944 and shaped the destiny of millions of people.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/R21b-Longues-sur-mer\/i-CcXzQKN\/4\/DSMJM6PT4GVdDx2TDmb2RF67349jTH6VvHtJj37JV\/L\/longues_sur_mer_Normandie-6037-L.jpg\" alt=\"Casemate of the Longues-sur-Mer battery\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Casemate of the Longues-sur-Mer battery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continue your day at Omaha Beach, the bloodiest beach of the D-Day landings, where most of the American troops landed in June 1944.

It offers a unique collection of over 10,000 objects, with immersive, realistic reconstructions to immerse you in the atmosphere of the D-Day landings.<br\/>This museum is much more than just a collection of objects, it&#8217;s a place of memory and transmission. Other locations are planned for this busy day, including Pointe du Hoc. Between Utah Beach and Omaha Beach, it borders the English Channel. From the top of its imposing cliffs, we travelled through history and admired a landscape where azure blends with the dark green of the cape.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/photos\/i-xxfNsrb\/1\/D4sL2Gkd8zhF37W4NJxn5cwp845PWp8NWmKk2XpN8\/L\/i-xxfNsrb-L.jpg\" alt=\"Colleville-sur-Mer American Cemetery\" style=\"width:702px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Colleville-sur-Mer American Cemetery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tour ends with a moment of meditation and emotion at the 70-hectare Normandy American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer!<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you will see<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This tour is well worth the detour for several reasons: you&#8217;ll get a glimpse of the unique places where the history of D-Day was played out:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the German batteries at <a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/visit-battery-longues-sur-mer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Longues-sur-Mer<\/a> and their cannons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>part of the German defensive system of the Atlantic Wall<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the legendary<a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/best-things-to-do-omaha-beach-visit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Omaha<\/a> Beach, where the Americans landed on D-Day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the <a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/visit-museum-overlord-omaha-beach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Overlord Museum<\/a>, immersive and realistic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the unique landscapes of <a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/pointe-hoc-normandy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pointe du Hoc<\/a> between the cliffs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/visiter-normandy-american-cemetery-colleville-mer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Normandy American Cemetery<\/a> at Colleville-sur-Mer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>all with an English-speaking guide!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"799\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/pointe-hoc-normandie.jpeg\" alt=\"pointe-hoc-normandie\" class=\"wp-image-13689\" srcset=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/pointe-hoc-normandie.jpeg 799w, https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/pointe-hoc-normandie-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/pointe-hoc-normandie-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/pointe-hoc-normandie-600x400.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pointe du Hoc<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much time should I allow?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allow a full day for this excursion from Paris.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the tour family-friendly?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re a family, please note that children under 7 are not allowed on this tour.

Embark with us to explore the major historic sites where American troops played an essential role on D-Day 1944! Utah Beach and Omaha Beach are the American landing areas. Several museums, bunkers and sculptures tell the story of D-Day and perpetuate the memory, such as the sculpture <em>Les Braves<\/em>, an important and poignant memorial at Omaha Beach.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/photos\/i-fmp9z2v\/0\/c39a3878\/L\/i-fmp9z2v-L.jpg\" alt=\"sculpture Les Braves (Omaha Beach)\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like millions of people today, come to these beaches to pay tribute to the soldiers who came from across the Atlantic.

This unique museum is dedicated to the American paratroopers who arrived at dawn on June 6, 1944. The museum faces the church, which many will recognize because parachutist John Steele became famous for hanging from its steeple.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you will see<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the option you choose, you&#8217;ll have plenty to keep you busy for a day at these various sites of history and remembrance dedicated to American troops:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/visit-museum-overlord-omaha-beach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Omaha<\/a> Beach, its memorials and numerous museums<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/things-to-do-utah-beach-visit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Utah<\/a> Beach, its museums, sculptures and batteries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Colleville-sur-Mer <a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/visiter-normandy-american-cemetery-colleville-mer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">American Cemetery<\/a>, with nearly 10,000 soldiers&#8217; graves<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the <a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/airborne-museum-sainte-mere-eglise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Airborne Museum<\/a> in Sainte-M\u00e8re-\u00c9glise, dedicated to American paratroopers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/photos\/i-XdwtZs9\/1\/CwQWdjGvsfrxhPQLVQg3PnDt6JHbHchQ5cZjL4P5d\/L\/i-XdwtZs9-L.jpg\" alt=\"Sainte-M&#xE8;re-&#xC9;glise Airborne Museum\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sainte-M\u00e8re-\u00c9glise Airborne Museum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much time should I allow?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allow a full day from Paris to complete all these visits and enjoy these places of immersion in history.

Getaway to the Caen Memorial and Omaha Beach<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do we recommend this tour?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A must-see when visiting Normandy, we plunged into the heart of 20th-century history when we visited the Caen Memorial. We&#8217;ll never forget our visit to the museum, because we were captivated!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/n-r2MKTJ\/Caen\/M&#xE9;morial\/i-V6xBPSM\/0\/FDBfNjZpwH5hf6sD7kLrFnzwxqtqpQBspjh3qmBgR\/L\/extermination-memorial-caen-L.jpg\" alt=\"Caen Memorial\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Caen Memorial<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inaugurated in 1988 by Fran\u00e7ois Mitt\u00e9rand, the memorial aims to promote peace and pay tribute to the victims of the Second World War. Thanks to interactive exhibits, historical documents and personal accounts, you can deepen your knowledge of this period in history.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then make a stop along the Normandy coast, on <em>Bloody Omaha<\/em> Beach, the most famous D-Day beach because it was so deadly.

We are aware that everyone&#8217;s sensibilities are different. Nevertheless, we&#8217;d like to share our 3 highlights with you:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>visit to the bunker<\/strong>: former underground command post of German General Wilhelm Richter, a place that played a crucial role in the first decisive weeks of the Battle of Normandy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>authentic aircraft<\/strong>: as soon as we entered the museum, we were greeted by a Howker Typhoon. Later, we gazed at a rather impressive Soviet MIG 21 fighter plane.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>historical newspapers<\/strong>: we loved discovering the front pages of period newspapers during our visit. They bear witness to the climate of terror during this period, but also to the explosion of joy at the moment of liberation!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/n-r2MKTJ\/Caen\/M&#xE9;morial\/i-VfCFHdP\/1\/Dp9cbHf8sGMRdHz4MHKzFRFZT8QrhSFs22NgrFv9t\/L\/avion-musee-memorial-caen-L.jpg\" alt=\"Authentic aircraft at the Caen Memorial\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Authentic aircraft at the Caen Memorial<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much time should I allow?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This depends on whether you opt for a guided day trip from Paris or go it alone. We recommend you allow at least 2 to 3 hours to visit the Caen Memorial. It&#8217;s a very vast and dense museum. History buffs, we could easily have stayed for a full half-day!<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the tour family-friendly?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Caen Memorial is ideal for families with children. Interactive and dynamic, it&#8217;s an important place for young people to discover, as it&#8217;s part of our shared history. What&#8217;s more, in summer the memorial offers a guided educational tour with a mediator, enabling families to retrace the major themes of the Second World War.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/n-r2MKTJ\/Caen\/M%C3%A9morial\/i-SMQ4LGb\/0\/40638950\/L\/exposition-guerre-froide-memorial-caen-L.jpg\" alt=\"period reconstruction\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Period reconstruction at the Caen Memorial<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#161616;color:#161616\"\/>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/caen-l315\/caen-billet-d-entree-au-musee-memorial-t447044\/?partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=NL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Book your admission to the Caen Memorial today here<\/a>\n<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.viator.com\/tours\/Caen\/Memorial-de-Caen-Museum-Admission-and-Guided-Tour-of-D-Day-Sites-from-Caen\/d5469-6160DAYPASS?pid=P00074304&amp;mcid=42383&amp;medium=link&amp;medium_version=selector&amp;campaign=NL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Choose a combined tour of the Caen Memorial and D-Day Beaches here<\/a>\n<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/paris-l16\/visite-privee-des-plages-du-jour-j-en-normandie-t205573\/?partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=NL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Schedule your private tour of the D-Day landing beaches with admission to the Caen Memorial here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#161616;color:#161616\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.

Passionate about the history of D-Day, the founders and owners of the museum, Fabrice and Brigitte Corbin, have done a remarkable work of memory to retrace the history of the Atlantic Wall and the daily life of German soldiers until D-Day on June 6, 1944.

Allow 1 to 2 hours to visit the Grand Bunker, depending on your interest in the information presented and the different levels of the museum. The place is full of staircases, and some rooms are a little cramped. If you don&#8217;t like enclosed spaces or if you suffer from claustrophobia, choose periods of very low traffic.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the tour family-friendly?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The museum&#8217;s staging, character costumes and machines will delight young and old alike. The explanations around the exhibited objects and mannequins are very educational to understand the Second World War differently. We loved the labyrinthine aspect of the Grand Bunker, which is great fun for children. Don&#8217;t forget that there are lots of stairs inside. If you&#8217;re going with small children, opt for a baby carrier instead of a stroller if your little ones are feeling tired!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/Sword-Beach-Ouistreham\/Grand-Bunker\/i-GZLSTfX\/1\/bd3e90bf\/L\/Gold_Beach_musee_Grand_Bunker_mur_atlantique-050-L.jpg\" alt=\"Armory with a collection of guns and weapons for soldiers\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#0d0d0d;color:#0d0d0d\"\/>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/grand-bunker-museum-wall-atlantic-ouistreham\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read our article on the Great Bunker Museum of the Atlantic Wall here<\/a><\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#0d0d0d;color:#0d0d0d\"\/>\n\n<div style=\"background-color:#d9e3de;margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns inverse box_planif has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#d9e3de\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\" style=\"padding-top:10px\">OUR ADVICE FOR <span>RENTING A CAR<\/span> IN<span class=\"titre_box_manuscrit\"> Normandy<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:14px\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Compare prices on our preferred platform: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/france?a_aid=zigzag&amp;chan=NL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DiscoverCars<\/a> &#8211; one of the best rated sites.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose a <strong>car that is comfortable enough <\/strong>(distances can be long) but <strong>compact<\/strong> (some parking lots and villages are narrow).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remember to take out<strong>comprehensive insurance<\/strong> (some roads are winding and narrow).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is a lot of demand, <strong>book it early<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column planif-radius-2 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:42%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full voiture_image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"421\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Yport_Normandie-3328.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7241\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Yport_Normandie-3328.png 421w, https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Yport_Normandie-3328-237x300.png 237w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 421px) 100vw, 421px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns planif_bouton is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/fr\/france?a_aid=zigzag&amp;chan=NL\" style=\"border-radius:4px;font-size:14px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See available cars  <strong>   <\/strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3266 img_fleche\" style=\"width: 16px;  \" src=\"https:\/\/corsicalovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ArrowRight.png\" alt=\"arrow\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/renting-car-france-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See all our tips<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8.

Nearly 2300 m2 are dedicated to the exhibition of the military operations that marked the Battle of Normandy during the landing of the Allied troops in the summer of 1944. Did you know that this is the only museum that tells the story of military operations in the summer of 1944 in detail? It&#8217;s also within easy driving distance of the D-Day landing beaches.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/photos\/i-vw2sWbW\/1\/FFdmBvMSCKxcJsRJLFMkFJrmnSf7xp6bGxRqkzJzX\/L\/i-vw2sWbW-L.jpg\" alt=\"Battle of Normandy Memorial Museum in Bayeux\" style=\"width:702px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Battle of Normandy Memorial Museum in Bayeux<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to its chronological tour, you will be able to &#8220;go back in time&#8221; at the Battle of Normandy Memorial Museum with:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>illustrated stages and maps explaining the 1944 landings,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>showcases featuring Allied and German soldiers and their equipment,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>showing of the archive film &#8220;Normandie 44, Victoire d\u00e9cisive \u00e0 l&#8217;Ouest&#8221;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/photos\/i-RJxdmCC\/1\/FHgwBTcL7vCZhHqr68BNRS9Q4L9mshfSJWXnLrnXd\/L\/i-RJxdmCC-L.jpg\" alt=\"Museum\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you will see<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our opinion, this day trip is worth the detour, because you&#8217;ll get the most out of it:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/museum-memorial-battle-normandy-bayeux\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Battle of Normandy Memorial Museum<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>immersive spaces, tanks and vehicles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/british-war-cemetery-bayeux\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bayeux British Military Cemetery<\/a>, where more than 4,000 soldiers are buried<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the Commowealth Soldiers&#8217; Memorial, a place of remembrance where we felt a great deal of emotion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>if you&#8217;re continuing on to the <a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/visit-landing-beaches-normandy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">D-Day landing beaches<\/a>, we recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/best-things-to-do-omaha-beach-visit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Omaha Beach<\/a>, the nearest one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/photos\/i-wBm6W7b\/1\/CQtTTqvQNSVD42TSNr5n5zXg42WfNjHLMxFvQwJjk\/L\/i-wBm6W7b-L.jpg\" alt=\"Bayeux British war Cemetery\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much time should I allow?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allow 1h to 1h30 maximum if you want to take the time to visit each stage of the Bayeux Battle of Normandy Memorial Museum.
