This is where our visit to the D-Day landing beaches begins.

Perched high above the English Channel, Pointe du Hoc is one of the most dramatic and moving sites of the Normandy landings. On June 6, 1944, U.S. Army Rangers scaled these steep cliffs under heavy fire to capture the German gun battery positioned here.

Today, you can still walk through the craters, bunkers, and remains of the German defenses, offering a powerful glimpse into the scale and intensity of the battle.
