Mémorial de Caen Museum Admission and Guided Tour of D-Day Sites

Eragonne, Jun 2026

A must-visit without hesitation.

It is an extraordinary place, out of the ordinary. Three pieces of advice: 1/ Plan for almost the whole day if you want to do a complete visit (you can eat on-site for a small cost or go out and come back, it's your choice) - 2/ Wear proper shoes because the Memorial is very large (both inside and outside), plus, like in any establishment of a somewhat "museum" type, you will do a lot of walking - 3/ Take the audioguide, which is very well done in terms of both commentary and the tour route. Neither my husband nor I are particularly history enthusiasts, yet we absolutely loved this visit and learned a great deal, in a very simple way, about this period of our history. If you are in the area, do not hesitate; it is a must-visit that each of us should experience to realize that a war is not a video game, nor a role-playing game, nor a movie where actors get up and go home. It is about humans (men, women, children, civilians or military) who have lived through horrors that currently exist in countries not so far from us.

Bravo and thank you!

What a beautiful experience! The Dyane was a reference for my wife and a discovery for me. What a pleasure to "drive a car" again. It must be said that Bernard, our driver, is a big part of it. After 3 minutes of conversation, you feel like you have known him forever because he knows how to create a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. A passionate and captivating guide and storyteller, Bernard introduces you to the little stories that make up the big one. Time flies and the 3 hours pass at an incredible speed. Once back, we received a list of places worth visiting as well as some very good addresses. I would do it again without hesitation for the pleasure of driving in the company of an exceptional host!
