We didn&#8217;t expect to feel such intensity standing in front of the 9,387 perfectly aligned crosses of the Colleville-sur-Mer American Cemetery. Today, the beaches are bathed in sunshine and visited by bathers in summer, but the memorials, bunkers and museums are a powerful reminder of what happened there on June 6, 1944. For us, this excursion is a top priority for any stay in Normandy. From Rouen, it&#8217;s a 2-hour drive to Omaha Beach. You can plan your day by car, or join a guided tour to combine with other D-Day Beaches.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><div class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-host wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover\"><a class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/Omaha-Beach\/Plage\/i-Gc468cq\/0\/a2e233b6\/L\/Omaha_beach_scultpure_plage-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-wp-lb-image=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/Omaha-Beach\/Plage\/i-Gc468cq\/0\/a2e233b6\/L\/Omaha_beach_scultpure_plage-L.jpg\" alt=\"Plages du D&#xE9;barquement - sculpture Les Braves Omaha Beach\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sculpture <em>Les Braves<\/em> \u00e0\u00e0 Omaha Beach<\/figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/Omaha-Beach\/Plage\/i-Gc468cq\/0\/a2e233b6\/L\/Omaha_beach_scultpure_plage-L.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"wpcp-wp-wpcp-wp-5\" class=\"wpcp-lightbox-trigger wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon wpcp-position-top-right wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover wpcp-global-lightbox-icon wpcp-lightbox-icon--global wpcp-lb-icon-style-default\" data-wpcp-lb-icon-source=\"global\" aria-label=\"Open image in lightbox\" data-thumb-src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/Omaha-Beach\/Plage\/i-Gc468cq\/0\/a2e233b6\/L\/Omaha_beach_scultpure_plage-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-lb-single=\"1\"><span class=\"wpcp-icon-container\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\"><path d=\"M17.6585 16.025L14.2437 12.6198C15.1716 11.3338 15.6121 9.7613 15.4871 8.1819C15.362 6.60251 14.6795 5.11847 13.5607 3.99351C12.936 3.36206 12.1916 2.86066 11.3709 2.51845C10.5502 2.17623 9.66952 2 8.77995 2C7.89039 2 7.00969 2.17623 6.18899 2.51845C5.36829 2.86066 4.62395 3.36206 3.99919 3.99351C3.36594 4.61649 2.86312 5.35871 2.51992 6.17708C2.17673 6.99545 2 7.87365 2 8.76068C2 9.64772 2.17673 10.5259 2.51992 11.3443C2.86312 12.1627 3.36594 12.9049 3.99919 13.5279C5.11957 14.6901 6.62279 15.4103 8.23285 15.5562C9.84291 15.7022 11.4517 15.2641 12.7639 14.3224L16.1788 17.7275C16.3849 17.9034 16.6473 18 16.9186 18C17.1899 18 17.4523 17.9034 17.6585 17.7275C18.1138 17.16 18.1138 16.5925 17.6585 16.025ZM5.59278 12.0523C5.16258 11.6298 4.82094 11.1263 4.58774 10.5709C4.35455 10.0156 4.23446 9.41951 4.23446 8.81744C4.23446 8.21536 4.35455 7.6193 4.58774 7.06394C4.82094 6.50859 5.16258 6.00503 5.59278 5.58257C6.01644 5.15359 6.52144 4.81292 7.07838 4.58039C7.63532 4.34786 8.23308 4.22811 8.83687 4.22811C9.44066 4.22811 10.0384 4.34786 10.5954 4.58039C11.1523 4.81292 11.6573 5.15359 12.081 5.58257C12.5112 6.00503 12.8528 6.50859 13.086 7.06394C13.3192 7.6193 13.4393 8.21536 13.4393 8.81744C13.4393 9.41951 13.3192 10.0156 13.086 10.5709C12.8528 11.1263 12.5112 11.6298 12.081 12.0523C11.6573 12.4813 11.1523 12.822 10.5954 13.0545C10.0384 13.287 9.44066 13.4068 8.83687 13.4068C8.23308 13.4068 7.63532 13.287 7.07838 13.0545C6.52144 12.822 6.01644 12.4813 5.59278 12.0523Z\" \/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you will see<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 5 <a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/visit-landing-beaches-normandy\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"167\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">D-Day beaches<\/a> cover more than 80km of Normandy coastline. <a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/best-things-to-do-omaha-beach-visit\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"11134\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Omaha Beach<\/a> is the largest and best-known: 2,400 American soldiers lost their lives here on D-Day.

Nicknamed the Village of Painters, it owes its worldwide renown to Claude Monet, founder of Impressionism, who lived here with his family for over 43 years. As soon as we entered <a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/house-gardens-claude-monet-giverny\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"11373\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the House and Gardens<\/a>, we were struck by the rare feeling of entering the studio of a living artist: furniture, carpets, a collection of Japanese prints, a kitchen covered in blue and white Rouen earthenware &#8211; everything has been preserved.

Victor Hugo himself called it the most beautiful ruin in France, and we agree. Founded in the <sup>7th<\/sup> century by Saint Philibert, sacked by the Vikings in 841, rebuilt under the Dukes of Normandy in the <sup>11th<\/sup> century, dismembered during the Revolution and gradually preserved, this former Benedictine abbey is a remarkable testimony to Norman history. We came out of it full of emotion. Its open-air nave &#8211; the highest Romanesque nave in Normandy at 25m &#8211; retains a majesty that centuries have not erased. Just 30 to 40 minutes from Rouen, it&#8217;s the ideal half- or full-day excursion.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><div class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-host wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover\"><a class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/R17d-Jumieges\/i-8BkqjVS\/4\/CHJCxRLNrrbHH6ZKj2nLVLX9FNjSdL5TS2rq3BQkx\/L\/Abbaye_Jumieges_Normandie-3123-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-wp-lb-image=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/R17d-Jumieges\/i-8BkqjVS\/4\/CHJCxRLNrrbHH6ZKj2nLVLX9FNjSdL5TS2rq3BQkx\/L\/Abbaye_Jumieges_Normandie-3123-L.jpg\" alt=\"Abbaye de Jumi&#xE8;ges - Nave\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/R17d-Jumieges\/i-8BkqjVS\/4\/CHJCxRLNrrbHH6ZKj2nLVLX9FNjSdL5TS2rq3BQkx\/L\/Abbaye_Jumieges_Normandie-3123-L.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"wpcp-wp-wpcp-wp-32\" class=\"wpcp-lightbox-trigger wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon wpcp-position-top-right wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover wpcp-global-lightbox-icon wpcp-lightbox-icon--global wpcp-lb-icon-style-default\" data-wpcp-lb-icon-source=\"global\" aria-label=\"Open image in lightbox\" data-thumb-src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/R17d-Jumieges\/i-8BkqjVS\/4\/CHJCxRLNrrbHH6ZKj2nLVLX9FNjSdL5TS2rq3BQkx\/L\/Abbaye_Jumieges_Normandie-3123-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-lb-single=\"1\"><span class=\"wpcp-icon-container\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\"><path d=\"M17.6585 16.025L14.2437 12.6198C15.1716 11.3338 15.6121 9.7613 15.4871 8.1819C15.362 6.60251 14.6795 5.11847 13.5607 3.99351C12.936 3.36206 12.1916 2.86066 11.3709 2.51845C10.5502 2.17623 9.66952 2 8.77995 2C7.89039 2 7.00969 2.17623 6.18899 2.51845C5.36829 2.86066 4.62395 3.36206 3.99919 3.99351C3.36594 4.61649 2.86312 5.35871 2.51992 6.17708C2.17673 6.99545 2 7.87365 2 8.76068C2 9.64772 2.17673 10.5259 2.51992 11.3443C2.86312 12.1627 3.36594 12.9049 3.99919 13.5279C5.11957 14.6901 6.62279 15.4103 8.23285 15.5562C9.84291 15.7022 11.4517 15.2641 12.7639 14.3224L16.1788 17.7275C16.3849 17.9034 16.6473 18 16.9186 18C17.1899 18 17.4523 17.9034 17.6585 17.7275C18.1138 17.16 18.1138 16.5925 17.6585 16.025ZM5.59278 12.0523C5.16258 11.6298 4.82094 11.1263 4.58774 10.5709C4.35455 10.0156 4.23446 9.41951 4.23446 8.81744C4.23446 8.21536 4.35455 7.6193 4.58774 7.06394C4.82094 6.50859 5.16258 6.00503 5.59278 5.58257C6.01644 5.15359 6.52144 4.81292 7.07838 4.58039C7.63532 4.34786 8.23308 4.22811 8.83687 4.22811C9.44066 4.22811 10.0384 4.34786 10.5954 4.58039C11.1523 4.81292 11.6573 5.15359 12.081 5.58257C12.5112 6.00503 12.8528 6.50859 13.086 7.06394C13.3192 7.6193 13.4393 8.21536 13.4393 8.81744C13.4393 9.41951 13.3192 10.0156 13.086 10.5709C12.8528 11.1263 12.5112 11.6298 12.081 12.0523C11.6573 12.4813 11.1523 12.822 10.5954 13.0545C10.0384 13.287 9.44066 13.4068 8.83687 13.4068C8.23308 13.4068 7.63532 13.287 7.07838 13.0545C6.52144 12.822 6.01644 12.4813 5.59278 12.0523Z\" \/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you will see<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Abbatiale Notre-Dame, a masterpiece of Romanesque art built between 1040 and 1060, is the centerpiece of the site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Its &#8220;Westwerk&#8221; fa\u00e7ade &#8211; extremely rare in France &#8211; is flanked by two 46-metre towers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>St. Peter&#8217;s Church preserves vestiges of the Carolingian period, including a unique mural painting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The century-old yew tree planted on the site of the former cloister is a striking symbol of historical continuity.

The town offers a rare combination of religious and Renaissance architecture, cliffs on the C\u00f4te d&#8217;Alb\u00e2tre, the memory of the Norman dukes and local gastronomy. We think it deserves at least one day. Its Benedictine Palace is reason enough to visit: its neo-Gothic and Renaissance architecture is spectacular even from the outside.
