  the American cemetery

You really must visit the American cemetery of Colleville-sur-Mer. I think it's the biggest American cemetery in Normandie, if not in France, as it contains more than 800 tombs of soldiers dead to set Europe free. It is a very touching experience, also when you see Americans who go there with little children to onorate the memory of a relative. The sea adds to creating a unique atmosphere of peace.
You will find more pictures in my two travelogues.
