The monuments around Omaha Beach and around the landing places.
Normandy is a French region with a rich historical past trough several centuries,the Calvados region has a special place in this historical past,it was here that the biggest military amfibious landing of the human history took place,this operation went into history as D-Day or Operation Overlord.Everything in this region remembers us about that day back in June 1944.
The many monuments erigated in honor of the men who participated in this operation,their units and their battles,it's about them that this page is trying to talk about,making a stroll along the monuments and plates who live in a total symbiosis with the beautiful Norman landscape.
But not only plaques and monuments are on matter in this part of my website but also the human technical peformances such as this giant monument honoring this cause the Mulberry Harbor Port Winston at Arromanches of wich we speak on an other page.
