Bayeux and Omaha Beach War Cemeteries




We liked the Commonwealth war cemetery at Bayeux and the US cemetery at Omaha Beach is large and impressive. In line with the current political climate and our always evolving and negative attitude feelings towards current US leadership, we felt that it is a bit over the top to be electronically scanning all visitors to the cemetery, to be faced with George W’s photographs at the entry and the just a liitle too emotional museum like exhibition which has been built here since our last visit some twenty plus years ago. Nevertheless, probably a must see place to gather an appreciation of what happened here in 1944.
