Normandy: Omaha Beach

We hadn't been to Normandy in the summer as a family since - well, ever. The last time we went to Normandy as a family was for Christmas 2017, and before that we went for Gaudeline and Dylane's wedding in 2015, but the boys were at camp. Frédéric and Noah went to visit a house one time, but Benjamin was sick that weekend, so he and I stayed home.Before that, Frédéric and I had last visited the area with my family in 2003.

So the pandemic limiting our travel options this summer gave us the opportunity to take the boys to visit some of the important sites in Normandy while visiting Frédéric's mom, sister, brother-in-law, and niece and nephew there.

We took Anita, Kyllian, and Kalïah with us on the first day out, and started with a visit of the outside of the Overlord Museum in Colleville-sur-Mer.


From there, we went to Omaha Beach.
